The next morning, Cremia had to go to town to deliver some boxes of milk to the Mayor's residence. The girl remembered this as she hopped out of bed hastily and threw on a simple white and pink dress before brushing her thick, lush mane of strawberry-red hair.
She looked in the mirror and smiled, wanting to leave a good impression on the Mayor and his family. She'd never been sent directly toward his home before.
Her large, ocean-blue eyes sparkled over her little nose and wide, happy grin. The splitting image of her mother. When she was young, she'd resembled Romani exactly the way she was now. Where was Romani, anyway?
"Romani!"
Nothing. Cremia sighed heavily in frustration. She was outside, probably getting dirty.
Cremia pulled on her boots and ran down the stairs, grabbed a piece of bread, and headed outside to find her little sister brushing the mane of the stray horse.
"Romani, I need you to help me with the boxes, okay?" The older sister tore the piece of bread in half and gave the bigger half to her little sister, who smiled up at her.
"Okay!"
As Romani scuffled off to grab the boxes, Cremia hitched the wagon to her two beloved mules, Kaepora and Gaebora (haha xD). She then grabbed the boxes from her sister and loaded them into the wagon.
"Now, Romani, if you promise to behave, you can come this time. But no messing around, okay? This is business." Romani nodded excitedly.
Cremia looked into the sky. Thankfully, it was semi-clear today, but the wet ground wouldn't be fun to clean off the wheels. The girl sighed. That's life, she thought.
"Let's go."
Cremia clicked her tongue as the mules started to slowly trot toward the exit of the huge ranch. Romani sat next to Cremia, her hands in her lap, but her face exploding with anticipation. The little girl loved Clocktown, everything about it. Cremia loved to see her sister happy, but was very afraid for her, as Termina had begun to fill with criminals and bad, bad men. The Gerudo pirates had also started showing up in groups. Not good.
The girls looked around the scenery of Termina Field as the mules slowed to a stop in fron of the entrance of East Clocktown.
"Here we go, Romani...woop!" Cremia swung her giggling sister off the wagon and onto the soggy ground. She handed her the lightest box and she heaved the other two heavy ones onto each other and carried them with slight difficulty. She was used to this kind of work.
"Tell me where I'm going, honey."
"Cremia, the guard is looking at your butt again!"
"Romani, just tell me where I'm going!" Cremia's face flushed.
"The door's right in front of you, silly! I'll open it." Romani giggled and put down her box as she pulled the door open. She picked up her box and followed her older sister inside.
The cute green-haired secretary giggled as she nodded toward them.
"Go ahead and put them down, girls, thank you so much! I'll notify the Mayor."
"You're welcome, hun, I'll just be..." Cremia faltered as the door swung open and the Mayor's son stepped out, but soon stopped in his tracks and froze as he caught sight of Cremia.
"H-how's it going, Cremia?" He stuttered awkwardly.
Cremia just stared for a moment, before forcing out a sentence that make her heart bleed.
"Congratulations on your engagment, Kafei..."
