Restoration

Chapter Five: The Director

Zelda's POV:

The sun had lowered when we arrived at Hateno, this place must not get many visitors because there was a villager who looked at me cautiously even when Link greeted him, standing watch over the village. I wave gently towards him, and give him a small smile hoping it would deter his gaze. He looked as though he quickly analyzed my face, his eyes scanning my every move. After a moment his body shifts,

"Hey lady!" I feel my throat fall to my gut because of his sternness. Link looked behind with a panicked look, "Y-Yes sir?"

"You seem alright! Welcome to Hateno," he said confidently, I sigh in relief, did he have to be so brash? "T-Thank you," we continue trotting through the village when Link points to a peculiar looking home atop the overlooking hill.

"That's where the Director lives," he says mischievously, he has an evil grin on his face,

"Come again?" I thought we were searching for Purah, he chuckles at my confused look and continues going riding through the village. There's a young woman who's waving to Link and I, three small children chasing each other, playing a game of tag it appears. They then stop in their tracks when they see Link approaching, "Hey Mister!" The small boy waves to him, Link turns his head to the kid's attention,

"Is she moving in with you?" he points to me with the stick in his hand, the girl near him adds, "Are you going to marry her?" she asks excitedly. What in the world are these kids talking about? I feel my face flush, Link nearly falls off Epona and catches himself just in time. He exhales and gives them a calm smile,

"We're not getting married Karin, honestly, where did that even come from?" he scratched his head bashfully.

"Nice save," I tease. He laughs nervously. "You're so lame Mister!" The girl pouts,

"L-Lame?" Link has a slightly worried face, why does he care? I can't help but chuckle at the sound of desperation in his voice, "W-Why am I lame?"

She points at me, and her chest puffs up, "Because you aren't marrying such a beautiful lady!" I want to faint, "He's not lame! He has such cool weapons all the time! Right Mister?" the boy says,

"That's right!" Link perks up, "What's that one on your back this time?" Link looked over his shoulder and he grinned. He unsheathes the Master Sword slowly, building up tension for the young kids, "The coolest one of all..." he says cooly, the children's eyes light up as they see the Master Sword in its full glory, glowing a brilliant cyan color, "Wow!" they both say, I feel a small grin grow on my face, in the children's moment of joy, Link looked over to me so quickly, catching a quick glimpse of my grin, and smiles back to me, the light of the Master Sword accentuated his ocean blue eyes, I feel like I was stuck in a moment in time just staring at them, just seeing him like this...he quickly looks away turning his attention towards the children once again.

"What'd you think of that one Nebb?" Link asks, the boy has an excited outburst, "That was definitely the coolest one!" he booms. I hear two Hylian women behind us gossiping about something,

"That's the mysterious Hylian that bought that old home..."

"He must have spruced it up nicely if he decided to live here,"

"And bring a girl here..."

"You think they're together?"

"Why else would they be here?"

Link...bought a home? I'm not sure if I should turn around and ask what in the world they're talking about or ask Link myself, he didn't mention that to me on the way here, the little boy, Nebb I believe was his name. Grabbed my attention,
