My Partner, The Hero

Chapter Five- It's Not What It Looks Like...Right?

The two ate their bowls in peace, feeling the surge of a newfound energy as they finished.
Once Link picked up the plates and stowed the elixers away in their bags, Fay stopped the young man at the door.

"Before we go," she smiled, "I'd like to give you something else in return."

Link looked at Faylana in slight confusion, wasn't food and sleep enough?

Fay stepped out and had Link follow as she locked the house for the day, she didn't know when she'd be back.

The two walked up to the Ventest Boutique, just across from the general store, and were met by a shy young girl.

"H-hi. W-welcome to Ventest B-boutique." She studdered.

"Hi Sophie. I just wanted to get a change for my friend here." Fay smiled at the girl.

"O-oh! Sure, Fay! He would look nice in the Hylian set, which completed is 270 Rupees."

Link slightly flinched. He hadn't collected much currency on his travel. He had enough for rice, but he had gathered the rest on his way to Hateno. A mere 50 Rupees wouldn't cut it.

At least, that's what he thought until Fay dug in her small pouch.

"I've got enough, I'll take it." She smiled, looking at Link. "He deserves a reminder from Hateno, don't ya think Soph?"

Link sighed quietly in relief, giving Fay a smile of gratitude.

"He can change to the right, my father is outside so he won't mind a friend of Fay's making a quick swap.~" She giggled.

----------

Link stepped out in the new set, turning slightly.

"Well, what do you think?" He smiled.

Fay nodded in approval, no matter what he wore, Link always made it look dashing.

"But," Sophie added, "If you'd like, we can dye it a new color."

Sophie shot Fay a small smirk, recieving one back from the girl.

"Oh yeah. Come on, Link. You'll enjoy it.~"
Fay giggled as she took Link's arm and dragged him to the Dye shop.

Upon arriving, Link was greeted by a slim man with an apron, two viles of colors and red hair.

"In Hateno, it's tradition to dye a complete set at once. But feel free to change pieces." He said, walking Link to the top of the store.

After choosing a color, Link stood ready in his top first, wanting to do piece by piece.

"Fay, are you sure this is how it works?" Link asked quite embarrassed. Although asleep for 100 years, Link still had his dignity, and having a young lady watch him in just his tunic wasn't very dignified.

Fay nodded, taking Link's tone seriously and turning away momentarily. Yet,it wasn't long until she heard Link gasp suddenly.

Splash!

Fay turned quickly at the sound of water, only to see Link walk out with the wet tunic lightly sticking to his body in a nicely dyed shade of Purple.

Wow. Fay uttered.

"Well?" Link asked, slightly taken back at Fay's stare.

"I-it looks great." She answered.

"I'll say!" Sayge exclaimed, "We hardly can get this color to come out nicely!"

The two finished Link's outfit, a navy hood and black trousers to match the hood.
Fay almost envied Link's attire, looking at her orange dyed tunic, but simply smiled at the blond.
