Chapter 15 : Nothing else

The week-end went too fast with Aryll, Medli and Impa.

After that our visit at the LonLon Ranch – and that emotional discussion with Malon – we left her alone and went to town to have a drink. Of course I honored my promise and bought a drink for Aryll under Link's amuzed gaze, making her promise not to say a single word to her mother. And of course she told me that she would keep this secret because she truly wanted to see me again, alive.

In the evening, we went to a restaurant, letting the high-schoolers discover life in the capital city. And they seemed surprised to see how lively it was even if we came out of the restaurant pretty late at night. So they naturally asked us if we could go to a night-club, and if, at first Link and I refused, Impa, Aryll and Medli asked us over and over until we finally surrendered. And Aryll's wish to see her brother in a night-club finally became true.

I was surprised to see him that comfortable on the dancefloor as he used to be a quiet boy, but maybe the shots he drank with Impa, Aryll and Medli helped him a bit. Or maybe it was because the place was completely full, allowing us to stay anonymous.

Whatever, it was so cool to dance with them, to sing at the top of our voices and to fully give in. And, maybe Aryll and Medli were a bit younger than us, but it didn't mean that Impa, Link and I were more experienced than them. And for a first time, what a first time !

Aryll and Impa were out of control, of course, but seeing Medli acting just as them two surprised me a bit – even if after the friday night we spent together, I knew she could be a true partier. Even if Link was drinking a bit and dancing like a fool, he always had an eye on us – especially Aryll and I – avoiding him to fully give in, but he seemed to have fun nevertheless.

It was a very cool experience, but I was pretty sure that I prefered those little parties with only our closest friends than those big night-clubs, but we had fun, so that was the only thing that mattered.

Sunday was so much calmer than the day before, mostly because after a concert, a hangover and a night out, the three girls were pretty tired.

Just as the night before, Aryll and Medli shared the same mattress on my room's floor and Impa pouted a lot when I told her we'll bring her another mattress next to my bed for her. She kept telling Link that he was 'stealing her bestie' and that 'this crime won't stay unpunished'. And of course, her angry glances quickly stopped when he brought her her favorite breakfast the next morning – a full bowl of those too sugary multicolor cereals, a cup of coffee and a slice of cheese.

We spent the entire day at the Mansion, discovering the forest, doing a barbecue at noon, and, because the weather was surprisingly nice, we also tried the swimming pool before we had to reluctantly brought Aryll and Medli at the railway station. Of course we made them promise to send us texts and DM while they were in Hateno before we could finally see each other every day in august.

I'm so glad Aryll and I are that close, and I know how Link is happy about our friendly relation.

It was so heartbreaking to hold them on last time in our arms, knowing we'll all miss each other as soon as they'll disappear far away in their wagon. And, even if Link and Aryll kept bickering all day long, we all saw how much they care for each other when he insisted to carry his sister's luggage to her wagon, hoping he could spend few minutes more with her.
