Beth doesn't have a home.

"Go home."
Beth stared at him blankly before she simply shrugged. "A house with a mother that is always out running a business and a father that is an idle drunkard is hardly a home. So I don't have one."
Link shook his head and grasped her hand, noticing how her painted nails shimmered in the moonlight. "You can't mean that, Beth. Sera and Haunch do love and care about you."
To this Beth only smiled. "Oh? Then why is it that they haven't noticed I've been gone for over a month?"
His mouth parted dumbly in shock, and the overpowering fragrance of a little girl who wore shoes that were two sizes two big wafted in, causing him to nearly retch. "Then...come with me. Come home with me, Beth." Link came more to his senses and gripped her other hand more adamantly. "I won't let you stay on the streets where any lecher could easily take advantage of you!"
Again, she shrugged. "Will you pay me?"
"W-what?"
"Will you pay me? I need the money."
Link stared at her further until his shock waned, and he finally composed himself. "Come on," he tugged her hand as he ignored her question, and they left the back alley for a safer haven.
