"Zelda..."

With fear in her voice and hope in her tone, Midna yields to a sad smile.

It's a performance, but it's no sham; it's not about what she's saying, but rather what she's not saying. That's a lovely secret to be, isn't it?

Not to say that the Twili people communicate only in arcane secrets.

Still, a princess has a reputation to uphold, doesn't she?

The shadow has to work surprisingly hard to stay as beautiful and noble as the figure standing in the light.

Sure, she can do it. As long as she has Zelda at her back.
