Standing outside, he was wondering whether or not he had not been clear enough the first time they had gone through this song and dance. The first time he starved this place out and more or less burned it to the ground. No, the fact was he had been perfectly clear, it's just that the person who had dared to abduct the two was deliberately trying to hurt him. And for going after those close to him, well, he was going to kill them. There was simply no other way to describe it. He wondered briefly if Majora had something to do with this. If that was the case, then there was no alternative, he would hunt her down and erase her, and any trace of her, from all creation. Just as he would do to the kidnapper.

Of course, some may have considered the divine glow radiating around him to be overkill. Alex figured that it wasn't overkill enough. He really didn't give a damn what Hylia had to say on this one, knowing her, probably some shit about turning the other cheek which he would pointedly ignore. Mercenaries had been hired, his Garo were likely in the process of infiltrating the fortress while his Zora were working on working a way open. Once he had the latter, he'd personally go in with all whatever divine fury he had backing him up. He would burn this place to the ground once again before it was all over.

What worried him though was that unless that woman had a way out, she was cornered, and who knew what desperate criminals like her would do when cornered. As he waited on his flagship as several ships blockaded the port, he chose to forego plate armor this time. He would undoubtedly be have to swimming before this was all over, and he didn't want to drown himself in the attempt. He just made do with some leather armor. Those mercenaries or adventurers or whatever they were should have been getting ready too.

In hindsight, the kite was a good idea. A real good idea, as he watched it soar harmlessly in the ocean breeze. He had to admit, it was a good plan of hers. He took a look over at Lycoris, seeing how she was faring. Really, being out at the beach suited her, she always seemed so much happier than whenever she was cooped up in the fountain. Really though, why wouldn't she? Nice as it was, beautiful as it was, it really didn't compare to the beauty of the outside world, and he wished there was a way he could heal her. If she could leave that damn fountain then well, the possibilities were endless.

When was the last time he'd gone fishing? Well the truth was not for years and years. Really, it was something he was sure he could still do if fishing was what she wanted to do, but he was surprised. "I haven't gotten my own food since my family's fortunes changed, really." Really why would you? Part of the enjoyment of it all, especially when his siblings were involved, was that his siblings got to be pampered by various servants, just as they should have been from the day they were born. If anything, he only really felt some regret over the fact that it took him so long to get there.

But a boat, well that might be a problem. "Anyway, if you know where we can get a boat," Without exposing each other's identities. He could always just commandeer one as the Emperor but that would defeat the point of it all. "Then by all means, let's head out to sea and see what we can catch." Honestly, what was the worst that could happen? He knew how to fish! He was pretty sure he could still harpoon even.

Oh yeah, she was mad. He'd really done it now. He dun goofed. Alex held his breath as he waited for whatever she'd throw at him. Emperor or not, there really wasn't much he could do when it came to defying the Great Fairies. That and he really didn't want to defy Lycoris and he really did feel bad about standing her up. The red aura wasn't helping. He didn't even know that they could do that sort of thing. Well, in hindsight, near omnipotent magical beings, so something as simple as an aura should have been easy. But still, wasn't that going just a little bit overboard in conveying how furious she was with him?

Or well, not with him. He let out a sigh of relief as she threw her arms around him, showing that while furious, he didn't seem to be the target. So that told him two things, one, the outing was still on, two, whoever she was pissed at was in for a world of hurt. Alex did his best as awkwardly positioned himself with everything he was holding so that he could wrap an arm around her waist and pull her close, taking a moment to enjoy the pleasant feeling he got simply by holding her to him. "I'm fine. When I was in Clock Town getting everything, we ran into a criminal, Alastor, that had been on the run. We chased him down to the Clock Tower." He started to explain. He didn't want to take too long, they had to get to their destination~

So he'd just keep it brief. "He had kidnapped a child, and planned to use them as a sacrifice." The kid was alive, he would be fine. Probably traumatized, but he'd live. "It worked... somewhat. The child was released unharmed, but he managed to summon Majora, who proceeded to seriously damage the Clock Tower." Rebuilding was already underway, it wouldn't take too long. The fact that he'd been there personally for the event had been a bit of a morale booster for Clock Town. "That's what kept me away, I had to fight Majora and keep her from fully entering Termina." Especially considering how far he'd gone.

Still, it didn't justify him being so rude to a lady! So with a squeeze from his hug, he could only let out a soft "Sorry." He wasn't sure what else he could do there. Least not yet.

Part of what she had planned involved her not using a glamour? Well now, what in the world could Lycoris possibly be planning that she couldn't use her magic, no magic for it. He knew what to bring, and of everything, he wasn't even sure what about any of that magic could possibly interfere with. Alex crossed his arms as he got a curious look on his face. He had a feeling she probably wouldn't tell him even if he asked, the surprise would have to be kept, and what a surprise he was sure it would be. Still, it was going to be rough keeping her hidden. With her snow white hair and amethyst eyes, add in that Fairy beauty, and she was sure to stand out. A cloak might not help much.

Of course, he seemed to notice the subtle shifting of her face for a moment, but the shifting seemed to stop as she geared up to hit him again with more of her fountain water. This time, Alex saw it coming just a little bit sooner than he had the last. He raised this arms as he shielded his face from the oncoming water. He still got soaked, or more soaked, if he could be, but at least the cold sensation of the fountain hadn't blasted him in the face. It just continued to make him look a bit more like his old self, with blond locks, darker in color for the moment, drooping down and sticking to his face. "I won't forget, I'll make sure to have everything ready to go by tomorrow." he assured her.

So he needed a kite, a good cloak, and chocolate. He could get all of that in Clock Town tomorrow before he headed back here. On the back of a Goht it wouldn't take long if he got up early enough to get busy. What kind of cloak should he get though? Red maybe? Red seemed like it might be a good color on her. He rose to his feet. "Tomorrow then?" He just needed to make sure that he was actually there on time, it would not do to have a disappointed fairy on his hands~ He just needed to figure out how he was going to work all of this, she only had a few hours out of that fountain, so he had to make sure that everything would be perfect.

What in the world was the Emperor doing here? Well, his reason for being here was that the Carnival of Time would be held soon. It was his duty to oversee it and see that the festival went off without a hitch. It was a time for imperial citizens to break away from the monotony of their lives and experience some festivities. It was only fitting that he be there to make it grand for them. Of course, he had known about Alastor. The Zora was the most wanted man in Termina, after all. He was an Emperor with no external threats to face and nothing else to focus on, it would be hard for such a criminal to escape his notice, especially when dealing with an Emperor that took pride in his work.

So when there were suddenly cries of a Zora rampaging through Clock Town, Alex naturally took an interest. Taking his Custodian Guards, he looked to the captain. "Give her to me." He spoke softly, and he was handed an object swaddled in cloth. Three Gohts who had been patrolling were gathered, stepping into formation behind his guard, who surrounded the Emperor, spears out, shields up. With that, they simply went to the Clock Tower, where this villain had decided to make his stand. Of course, that plan quickly went to shit as demonic entities and shit started showing up inside the Clock Tower. Right, whatever the fuck was going on now was far beyond something that most people were ready to handle.

So Alex simply waved them away, carried his bundle inside, and stood amongst the two, their shadows, and the damned, hand on the hilt of his sword, simply staring down the demonic puppet master as fearless as he had claimed to be. Majora. he had heard, clear and ungarbled by the din. Had it been in his mind then? He looked down briefly, had it been a warning then? A simple identification from someone who, well, this would be interesting perhaps. He looked at the damned, the shadows, stirring as if terrified, and finally the demonic goddess herself, his eyes locking with hers, the glimmer of recognition apparent in his, as he reached ever so slightly into the cloth.

And then he completely disregarded her.

"Release the child, Alastor, and you will merely get the block. Otherwise I will have you crucified. You are outnumbered, outmatched, and surrounded. Make your choice. Make it now." He spoke, not even a tinge of fear readily apparent for someone who'd just met an evil demon goddess, the bane of all Termina. Really, what was up with that?
