[Oh no, he definitely deserved the fate he received. And sure, some of it might even be totally Link and Zelda's fault, technically. Maybe Ganon wouldn't have seen fit to consume the fortune teller if he'd actually managed to accomplish what he'd set out to do all on his own.
... Though, chances were better that Astor had been doomed from the start, and the reality of his situation had been (and continued to be) obscured by the man's own superiority complex.
All of these though, were heavy thoughts, complicated thoughts, things that required a lot of time and energy devoted to sifting through them, none of which was about to happen here. Right now, all he wanted to do was get his hands on the other man and hurt him. Right now, it was all Link's fault that he'd failed, all Link's fault that he'd been killed, denied his proper destiny as a ruler and a god and it was all Link's fault.
And if Link didn't move, the former prophet might just actually put his hands on him! Even try to drive him up against a wall as he gripped his shoulders, teeth bared, but the desire to damage someone was... well... it was getting a bit confused.]
You and that accursed, damnable princess ruined everything for me! Had you just perished as you should have, Calamity Ganon would never-
[It wouldn't have killed him, if he'd not been unfairly, unjustly denied, obviously. He was too close, this was far, far too close to him, for someone much more used to hurling spells at a distance, and he couldn't have been more aware of the knight's ambient body heat.
That fact alone had a bit too much of an effect on him than he cared to personally admit to, unconsciously drawing nearer until his body was but a fraction of an inch away from making contact.]
And you don't even remember me!
[It genuinely, really did seem as if this was a major snag here. Was he that forgettable? Had he really been that unimportant?!]
