"My Din! He should have been done hours ago! What is he doing?" muttered Malon impatiently to herself. Today she and her dad were delivering milk to the Castle of Hyrule they harvested from their family farm, Lon Lon Ranch, but today was taking longer than usual. Her father, Talon, was a very kind man, but had been known on occasion to be slothenly with some of his responsibilities, specifically ones that involved a lot of manual labor. He was probably sleeping right next to the castle wall, leaving his wondrously tolerant daughter alone in Castle Town to tap her foot anxiously while city folk bustled around frantically.
She had a solution for occasions like these, usually: she had a cucco egg ready to hatch soon if her father fell asleep along the way, which would chirp feverishly to wake her resting dad. But today that would be unhelpful, as Talon had fallen rest within Hyrule's gates, and guards won't let any unscheduled visitors in. Malon supposed she could just ask a guard if they could check on her slacking father, but she's always felt a bit shy around men in armor, and would be too embarrassing for her to do it alone. Nevertheless, that may be her only option.
Just as she was on that train of thought, she saw a new face walk cautiously into the Castle Town Square. A young boy about her age wearing a green garb was marveling at the city around him. Never seen the city, huh? thought Malon, watching him ask busy city people for something, probably directions, but to avail. It made Malon giggle. She was very amused with the sight of this young man stumbling around and tripping over cobblestones for quite a while, but then grew tired and contented herself with humming her family tune at the center fountain.
After humming this this tune for quite a time she found the green boy she thought was so funny staring at her quizically. She grinned and decided to say hello. "Hi! You're clothes look different, you're not from around here, are you...? Oh! you're one of those fairy boys from the forest!" she said cheerfully, noticing the small flying orb resting on his shoulder. He looked a little nervous, if not slightly confused by this accusation, but nodded shyly.
"I'm Malon, me and my dad own Lon Lon Ranch. He went to the castle to deliver some milk, but he hasn't come back yet..." You didn't know why you were telling a perfect stranger this information, but as an extroverted ten-year old it seemed a great converstional topic. He, however, did not, and gave a timid smile before scurrying off.
He's a little odd, thought Malon, too bad he didn't stay, it's kind of lonely around here. Maybe he could've helped with dad.
Malon thought about this solemnly while continuing her charming tune, a little sad her fairy boy friend decided to leave, but then realized he had run off in the direction of Hyrule Castle. Perhaps it was not too late to request a favor, and quickly followed him.
