“Okay,” the Repairman finally said, looking at the mind-swapped duo. “I do think I have some things we can try…”
He began wringing his hands. If he had feet, they’d be shuffling awkwardly. He’d never tried anything like this before, but it was a common enough trope that he would at least be able to do something, he hoped.
“…Ready?” he finally asked, his uneasy gaze shifting between the two.
“Is this really gonna work or am I going to have a bruise on my head…seems kinda absurd but at this point I’m willing to try anything.”
“We’ve got no other options, Ravio. I’m desperate to make this end all this.”
“So what, do you have some kinda magic spellor something? Lay it on us.”
“…Uh…yes,” the Repairman replied, carefully. “I do have things that I think are magical, but…let’s see if more mundane, common solutions work, first.”
He took a deep breath. This was all for curing this. Don’t worry…
And with that, he leaped up, grabbed their heads and banged them together. A sound like a cymbal clashing was heard. Quickly, he jumped back. Understandably, they would probably be a little miffed at that.
After a moment to let their pain ease a little bit, he looked at the two.
“…Sorry about that,” he said, truthfully. “It apparently works a lot for this kind of thing. Any luck?”
“What the– OW?? Lorin Almighty I’m gonna have a headache for a week! You could have been a bit gentler blobby chuchu guy!”
He paused, before looking down, seeing the robe and his own flimsy arms.
“I’m me again!! I don’t have to be blond anymore! Sweet gods above it I may have a concussion but it worked!!!”
“ACK–!”
“What is your problem!? This isn’t some kinda… Ah?”
Link looked between his friends before staring at his own hands. He held onto Ravio and began hopping in sheer joy.
“Oh thank the goddesses golden we’re back to normal! I was afraid we were gonna be stuck forever!”
The Repairman smiled, satisfied with a job well done. Still, something in the back of his mind felt…off. Too easy, a voice from there was saying, too easy.
He mentally hushed that voice and turned back to the joyous duo.
“Yeah, I’m glad it worked too…honestly didn’t expect that…”
