~Legend of Zelda: BOTW: Sidon X Listener SFW: Not A Burden~ {Patreon Exclusive}

You might feel ridiculous waiting out here on the off chance that you'll see Sidon, but is it really that ridiculous if he does show up?

Contains: Light Confessions, Comfort, Advice

I really just love the idea of Sidon being absolutely enamored by other people, and just genuinely enjoys seeing them and talking to them and listening to them talk about things that they enjoy. I know there are a lot of people (including me lol) who need to be reminded that you're not a nuisance or a burden or annoying when you talk about the things that excite you. So I hope that this Sidon audio helps anyone who is going through that. Enjoy!

~Audio Transcript Below~

*Rocks landing in water *

Sidon: Waiting for someone?

*soft gasp*

Forgive me, Little Hylian, I didn't mean to frighten you.......

*pause*

"What am I doing here?"

Visiting you........

*pause*

One of my scouts saw you out here, and reported back to me, so I thought a visit would be nice~

*pause*

You seem.....nervous......is everything alright?

*pause*

You weren't expecting me to come?

Then why didn't you simply come to my domain? It's not that far from here.......

*long pause*

Is there.....something that's the matter? You can tell me....I'm not going to be angry with you......

*long pause*

I see......you wanted to see me......but you didn't want to disturb me....because you know that I'm often quite busy......

And yet you came here anyways.....just on the off chance that I might fancy a swim down here?

*sighs fondly*

I might not understand the way that some Hylian's act.....but I want you to know that I would never be angry with you coming to the Zora Domain to see me......

I might not always be able to spend a lot of time, but I will always give you time to at least say 'Hello' Little Hylian......

*pause*

Because I care about you a great deal......and....want to spend time with you as much as you seem to want to spend with me.....

*chuckles*

May I give you a hug?

*pause*

Hylian's seem to like hugs.....especially from me.....Link has mentioned it once that feels like being crushed.....in a good way.....

*pause*

*chuckles*

He signed it to me.......

*pause*

*heaves a happy sigh*

*hushed*

You are not taking up too much of my time, Little Hylian...I swear.....

I know you think of yourself as just some......common folk who doesn't deserve my attention, but you couldn't be more wrong.

*pause*

Who cares what others think? I don't think that you're boring......

You fascinate me......the way that you are.....the things that you do......the life you lead....

I always want to learn more......

*pause*

Spending time with the people that I care about ....it's one of the things that gives me joy in life....

Why don't you tell me about something that's happened recently?

*pause*

It doesn't have to be interesting or funny.....but if it is and you want to tell it.....go ahead~

*long pause*

Why did you stop?

*pause* 

It's......*sigh*......I truly do get sad for you sometimes.....to know that someone told you that your love for things is a nuisance.....

*pause*

You were in the middle of explaining.....and then you suddenly stopped and apologized.....as if you just remembered someone scolding you for it in the past.....

*pause*

I don't think that you understand......the enthusiasm that you have for the things in your life that bring you joy? How could I not love it? How could I not enjoy listening to you talk about things that make you smile? The things that influenced you to become the person that you are?

How could I find spending time with someone like you annoying? How could I think that you're taking up too much of my time?

*pause*

And if you're concerned  about what the other Zora think, you needn't worry. They like you as well.....

*pause*

And if there were those who do think that you're a waste of my time.....I wouldn't listen to them anyways.....

I get to decide how I spend my time, and who I decide to spend my time with.....and I promise you, that I'm not doing this out of some obligation....I do genuinely care for you very much......

*pause*

I know....I've come to realize that your mind is not very nice to you....

And that's ok.....I'll do what I can with the time we have together to help you remember......

*pause*

I'll remind you until you don't have to doubt yourself anymore.....

*pause*

It's not rotten work.....not for me.....

*chuckles*

*pause*

Come now.....let's go for a walk, shall we? Last time we met you were telling me about that book you were reading, did it get better once you read more into it?

*pause*

I promise you....I want to hear all about it......

I would rather live in a world where we as people--no matter who or what we are--allow excitement and passion back in our lives.....too much apathy and outright hostility exist in the world already.......

If being vocal about the things that give us pleasure as creatures the gods have made us is seen as embarrassing nowadays....I would rather be open and embarrassing....than closed off and bitter and angry.......

Other people spend far too much time caring about the actions of others that literally do not affect them in any way......

It's sad really.....that they cannot help but try to put down someone else's happiness.....

It just shows how empty or repressed they are in their own heart.....

*pause*

So please.....don't edit yourself down just to be accepted......I like you just the way that you are.....and would love to get to know that you better.......

*pause*

Hey.....

*lowly*

And I mean whatever that entails......
