Present Time
Castle town flooded with people hustling and bustling around, trying to meet daily quota. Vendors lurked every corner waiting for a victim so they could run their ears off trying to sell merchandise. It was a normal, everyday activity, but today carried an ominous notion, unpredictable feelings.
A heaving sigh escaped parted lips, Y/N had been dragging loaded boxes across Hyrule Field in hopes to sell the merchandise inside. She never seemed to have luck with her practice, a quiet shop located closer to the castle, which means not enough people roaming the area. Thoughts swarmed her head everyday, hoping she could rent a shop towards the gate and yet, they had all been occupied. Yawning suddenly, she had ran into someone and with a hard thud, her bottom hit the ground and she looked up to be blinded by the sun.
" Are you okay? " A clear voice spoke, smooth and kind. Sudden hands reached towards her and with a swift lock of palms, she was yanked up. Startled and discombobulated, Y/N looked into a pair of glacier blue eyes and given time, Y/N observed who had been her perpetrator.
A furrow in his strong eyebrows and his soft lips tightened up in frustration. He had locks of blonde and a green cap covering the back of his head, cladded in green with a sword and shield on his back. " Watch it kid. " He commented, voice more stern. With a bow, Y/N apologized and continued on without another word, hastily moving past the 'Chosen One'.

The hero had been helping a older woman load her cart up, in return he received a bombardment of gratitude and tight hug from the frail woman who beamed with excitement as the hero finished loading her carriage and with a light dust of his hands, he averted his attention to the sweet woman. " There you go Mrs. Love, You're all set. " He smiled at her, bidding adieu as she gave a small wave and continued on. Turning on his heel, he proceeded to walk towards the castle with confidence, hoping his summon is of gratitude. A task he had previously finished, helping the Goron take out an invasion of bokoblins before making way to Hyrule. As his thoughts ran on of scenarios with the princess, he couldn't help but notice a small shop located within several feet of him. " Y/N's Tea Room... " He thought out loud, curious as to how he's never noticed this tiny shop until now. Straightening himself up, Link made way to the tearoom and observed the outside decor. Flower pots filled with Lilac and Chenille were hanging from the windows, A small table with subtle floral imprinted chairs complimenting the legendary graffiti in the windows. It was cute too him, consideration of bringing Zelda was a factor until his observation was interrupted by a sweet, mellow voice. " Hello.. Welcome to Y/N's, Sorry to disturb you but I need to do some errands. " She smiled awkwardly before continuing to clean the windows and water the plants, wiping down the tables. Link watched her curiously, his burning gaze could be felt going through her and things suddenly became tense when she looked at him, blushing the slightest as he didn't bother to look away. With a quick turn on the heel, he continued back down towards the path that led to the Castle.
