Ren (part one) Chapter two: Looking
"This is only a game, this is only a game." Ren thought to herself just as she woke up.
Link was watching her from his bed, "You're awake now."
"Really? I thought I was asleep." Ren muttered.
"Don't be bitchy this early in the morning. You haven't even been here for one day." Link commented.
Ren threw a pillow to Link's face and laughed evilly, "Hey, aren't you suppose to protect me or something?"
"Maybe. Maybe not. It's my choice." Link teased.
"Whatever you say." Ren scooted herself off the bed and walked over to look out the window. "So, what are we suppose to do?" she asked sadly.
"Look for the soul edge...and your friends." Link said trying to cheer Ren up.
"But how? They could be anywhere in this place." Ren turned to Link with a worried look on her face.
"Ren, don't worry about it. Seeking out your friends will probably be easier as long as we stick together." Link said standing up and walking over to her.
Ren turned her head over facing out the window and watching all the townspeople do their daily routine. "I'm ready." she said confidently.
"Let's go." Link smiled.
Leaving the Inn, Ren hurried over to the stables and brought Epona out. "...I'm not gettin' on that horse." she muttered. "Eh!?"
Link picked Ren up and placed her on the saddle of Epona. "Come on princess." he said getting on after her.
"Don't call me that." Ren muttered through clenched teeth.
Link kicked Epona's sides lightly and Epona galloped.
Watching the view, Ren stayed silent but was distracted by her thoughts. "Kura and Shiori are still out there...I don't think they've ever played this game before so they are probably screwed. Ugh this really does suck. How am I suppose to handle this and get home safely?" Ren thought making a face.
Epona snorted at Ren's discomfort and continued. She made a few grunts with her nostrils towards Link.
"Ren, what's keeping you so quiet?" Link asked as he focused on what was ahead of him.
"Nn...just my friends Shiori and Kura. It's nothing really big but they might get hurt." Ren said sadly.
"Come on Ren. You have to have some faith in your friends. Besides, I am here to help you so I won't let you get hurt." Link said smiling.
"...Link." Ren thought blushing lightly.
Epona galloped faster as she continued through the field. Watching the sun slowly hang in the sky made Ren fall asleep. She had the back of her head against Link's chest.
"She's new to this world but why does she doubt herself so much?" Link thought as he laid his chin on Ren's head.
As the night went by, Ren slowly opened her eyes and noticed a camp fire in front of her. Link was carrying wood to keep the fire going as Epona rested beside Ren. Ren sat up slowly.
"I see you've woken up. Did you sleep well?" Link questioned.
"Yeah, how long was I out?" Ren asked as she rubbed her head. Link placed the wood on the ground and confronted Ren with a poke in the forehead.
"A few hours. Your head is heavy though." Link teased.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean-" Ren shouted but Link intercepted her.
"Your head on my chest is suppose to mean that you are comfortable with someone like me." Link smiled.
Ren blushed, "Whatever..."
"If I even kissed you-you would be comfortable with that." Link retorted.
