Poor little fairyboy!
Malon pushed Links hand away picking herself off the ground " What do you want?" Malon growled straightening herself up and dusting the dirt off the bottom of her skirt. Links smile didn't falter, he didn't seem to notice Malon's angry tone. "I went to your dad and he said that you'd gone out for the day" Malon held her icy glare at Link "what do you want?" Malon asked again irritably. "Epona" Link looked down at his hand, which had a black bruise on it. Malon followed his gaze to his hand "Epona what?" Links face had a tinge of red on it as he hid his hand behind his back focusing back on Malon's face. "She uh-" Malon noticed that he seemed a little embarrassed about something but she really didn't care. Whatever reason he was here for was only going to be a waste of time and this was her holiday after all.
"Are you going to spit it out or what?" Malon started to lose her patience, she was having a perfect day until Fairyboy showed up. "She bit me" a small smile appeared on Malon's face "Good one Epona!" Malon thought to herself smugly. "And that's why you are here?" Malon's smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Link pushed his fringe off his face looking down at the ground. "No, that's not it." Link looked up at Malon, who's hardened expression didn't show the slightest bit of sympathy. "She's refusing to let me anywhere near her" Malon didn't know whether she found this amusing or just plain stupid.
Malon crossed her arms "And why are you telling me this?" touching her neck briefly to make sure the scarf was still there. Link fidgeted with the side of his tunic, making him look like a little girl, too shy to say hello to a visitor. "I was wondering if you could come and try to talk, I mean sing, uh- I don't know could you come and see her?" Malon tilted her head slightly "for the lose- I mean hero of time you sure are fidgety" Malon spoke forwardly, Link looked to be feeling pretty uncomfortable right now so why shouldn't she make it even worse for him. "It would really help me out, seeing as you're her original owner" Malon shifted her stance leaning one hip to the side. "I don't know, I'm on a-" "oh that's okay if you can't, I can wait" Link cut her off.
Malon figured that if she didn't go and see Epona she might never get rid of Link "Look I didn't say I wouldn't" Malon looked around, trying to make it look as though she didn't care. "Why should I care huh!?" 'You know you care' that nagging voice was picking at her head again. Link looked on as Malon's face swept with emotions of some conversation that wasn't heard. Malon argued with the voice, occasionally biting her tongue to make sure she didn't curse outloud. Malon's face finally took on a half pleasant, half anguished look and preceded with her answer to Link, who now stood infront of her with a glazed over look on his face.
"I'll come and see her" Malon spoke, turning her head she made a quick call for Stormy, who had lost interest in Link and Malon completely and found new love with the flowers blooming near the moat. Lifting his head he began a quick trot over to Malon, nudging her in the back lightly. "Where is she?" Link had a smile plastered over his face "in the lost woods" Malon placed a foot in one of the stirrups, just about to hoist herself up onto the saddle when she felt two hands on her hips. "Here let me help you!" Link grinned as he pushed Malon's weight up onto the saddle.
Malon didn't know whether she wanted to turn around and whack him on the head for grabbing her or thank him for the help. Link, getting a little to excited pushed Malon too Far. Malon expecting to stop once she was in the middle of saddle started to slide over the other side. She tried to steady herself but was off balance by too much to be able to straighten up. Link thinking quickly grabbed Malon by the arm, using his weight to pull her back towards him. "Sorry!" Link successfully pulled Malon back onto the middle of the saddle, swiveling her head Malon gave Link a glare "remind me next time not to let you help me onto a horse" Link blushed rubbing the back of his head idly.
"Sorry, uh- shall we go?" Malon sighing "are you going to get on or what?" Links face looked puzzled "get on what?" Link looked around, was there another horse? "The horse!" Malon closed her eyes trying to stay calm "What horse?" Link looked all around him, if there was a horse around here it must be hiding. Malon grinded her teeth. "This horse you fool!" Malon kicked up her legs from the stirrups and raised the reins to emphasize the horse she was sitting on. Links eyes focused onto the horse in front of him, his eyes widening in surprise "oh that horse!" Link looked up at Malon "your horse?" Malon was very close to right about kicking him in the head with her boot. "Yes this horse!" Link looked up at where she was sitting "Are you sure?" Malon sighed, it was going to be a long day "yes I'm sure" She sighed, without another word Link hopped up onto the horse resting behind Malon. "You ready now?" Malon Glanced back to see if Link was sitting alright and hadn't ended up backwards or something. "Yep, lets go!"
Malon kicked Stormy into a slow canter "Which direction?" Malon tilted her head slightly, An arm extended forward from behind her pointing off into the distance. "Over there" Malon followed the direction of the arm, kicking Stormy into a gallop. "Better hold onto something" Malon quipped absently, not realizing that there wasn't anything for him to hold onto. Link nearly losing his balance found something to hold onto to, Malon. "Hope you don't mind" Link said in-between the jolts of the Stormy's gallop. Malon's face was burning, Links arms were wrapped around her middle. "N-not at all" Malon stammered, glad that Link couldn't see her face.
"Your house is rather small, wouldn't you say?" Malon looked around Links house, the whole thing was atop a tree so one would only assume there wouldn't be much room to build anything too spacious. "I like to think of it as cozy" Links head hidden as he fumbled through a cupboard. "What are we doing here again?" Malon, despite her dislike of Link, was starting to enjoy herself, it wasn't often a Hylian was allowed to go into the kokiri village. "Getting lunch of course, I don't know how long this will take so I'm getting something for us to eat"
Malon had the feeling that he was going to dish out some old loaf of bread and some sort of homemade berry jam. She was proved wrong when link produced an armful of different foods. Malon curious as to how much food Link actually had there, peered around into the cupboard. "Wow!" Malon stared in awe as shelf upon shelf contained dried herb's and spices, wrapped loafs of bread, Jars of exotic jams, dried pasta and wheat, small sacks of flour, almost everything you'd find at the towns square market place.
"I would never had guessed you'd have all this food!" She breathed lifting one of the jams out of the cupboard to read the label "Orange berry?" "Go on try it, it's really nice" Malon opened the jar, smelling the jam briefly "oh wow this smells lovely!" Malon hastily looked around for a spoon or something else to scoop out a bit of the scrumptious smelling jam. "Just use your finger" Malon looked up to see Link was grinning at her, Malon dipped her finger into the squishy jam, pulling out a blob. Sticking her finger into her mouth in one fluid motion. The room became quite except for noise Malon was making sucking her finger, Malon's face lit up, pulling her finger out of her mouth she grabbed the jar and examined the label again.
"Wow! This tastes great!" Malon looked up to see that Links smile was still there. "You gotta tell me the recipe!" Malon put the lid back on the jar and handed it back to Link. "I'll write it down for you some day" Link spoke with a grin.
Malon crossed her arms over her chest, a smile playing at her lips.
"You know I never figured you as one to be a good cook" Link looked up and smiled "what did you think I ate then dirt and leaves?" Malon laughed "no, I just thought you might catch fish or whatever and cook it up right there and eat it". Link gave a small chuckle tying a sack together with all the food they needed for lunch "I may look and live a little ruff but that doesn't mean my taste in food has to suffer as well". Malon noticed that Link shyness had started to dissipate, she felt like she was actually talking to someone.
'You still love him' the voice echoed inside her head "Shut up!" Malon not realizing she had screamed it outloud looked around frantically. Link had stopped what he was doing and was now staring at her with a hurt and confused look on his face. Malon spun on her heel, making a quick step for the front door. She was halfway out the door when a firm hand grabbed her arm "Are you okay?" Malon turned around to face Link "Why should you care? You'll just go away again!" She spat. Link was taken back by the sudden mood change in Malon. "What do you mea-" Malon yanked her arm away from Link "You'll just run off with the Princess and leave me by myself for another few years until you need me for something!" Malon spun around heading to the ladder.
Half-sliding down, hot tears burning her face, she wiped them away with the sleeve of her dress. "Malon wait!" Malon turned around to see Link standing on the balcony of the verandah. "No! You wait!" with that Malon ran over to Stormy, mounting him, she rode off into the lost woods.
