Disclaimer: Some of this dialogue is copied word for word off the game. The rest came from this jumble of ideas that the doctors call my brain.

Two days ago.

At precisely 8 o'clock I opened the doors of the inn. A friend of Guru- Guru, whose name I think is Gorman, came in late last night and spent the night on one of the bunks upstairs. I think he may be the circus troupe leader. He got up early and stood in the lobby until nine o'clock when he left. He's a very strange character. Of course most of us are.

At eleven o'clock I left the front counter to take breakfast to Grandma.

As I was stirring breakfast, I reflected on how much we've gone downhill recently. A small boy was there in the kitchen, I didn't pay much attention to him, I was busy thinking, but I explained it to him.

"We used to be a cafeteria, but after my father died, the room rentals that were part of our service became our main focus. We're just a small inn with only two rooms, but people from all over come here at this time of year. See the performers practicing outside? The second floor bunk guests are very spirited at night with songs and dancing. The customer coming this afternoon will be staying next door to them, so I hope it'll be all right." Then I tasted what I was cooking.

"Mmm...Mmm?" I wasn't sure. So I kept stirring then at eleven-thirty I put it all on the tray and walked to Grandma's room. She was up now and reading her book. She looked up at me then.

"Oh, Tortus, I've already had lunch."

What was she trying to pull, now?

"Grandmother...I am Anju! Tortus was my dad... and you haven't had lunch yet!"

"I've already had lunch. Now be quick and take that away."

"Not eating is bad for you. Please eat..." I begged.

"Didn't I already say that I already ate lunch, Tortus?!? Impossible child!" She was getting angry. So I decided not to fight or argue with her.

"Then don't eat my food. I give up..."

"Whew!" She sounded relieved.

" 'Whew?'" I asked.

"Er... W-W-Whewwwould you like me to read you a story?"

I tried until a quarter after twelve, then I left to take it up to my room where I tasted it. It wasn't very good so I tossed it out the window. (A/N: I always wondered what she did with that?!? So I made it ridiculous!)

Then at a quarter after one I went back downstairs to wait for our customer. And to my surprise he was already waiting for me when I went downstairs. He was a peculiar little boy with a green hat and green tunic with a sword! And shield! But he was only a small boy, and without the sword and shield I would have turned him away.

"Welcome to the Stock Pot Inn," I greeted him.

"Umm...Did you...have a reservation?" I still was uncertain that this was our customer.

"Yes" he responded.

"You do have a reservation? That's good..."

"Mr. Link, is it? One moment please." I looked at our reservation sheet.

"Mr. Link, I have you down for an afternoon arrival. Your room is our "Knife Chamber" on the second floor. Here is your key." I handed him the key.

"Please relax..." I told him.

He disappeared upstairs. Just then the postman came in. He walks up to me and hands me a letter.

"Ah! Uh, uh, uh, umm, umm... What is this?" I asked him.

"I have delivered this to you!" He tells me.

"Ah! Wait! This letter, wh-where did you?!?" I stammered.

"From the postbox."

"Th-that's not what I mean! From the postbox where?!?" The postman is sort of slow. I don't see what Cremia sees in him.

"From the postbox somewhere."

"That's not what I mean!" He obviously wouldn't tell me so I didn't ask again.

So he left to do his rounds, and just then that mysterious boy comes downstairs...but what's this? He has on a Kafei's mask!

"You're also looking for Kafei? I have a request! Kafei.I have a clue...that will help you find him. Tonight at 11:30, please come to our kitchen. We'll talk then..." I begged.

At three o'clock, a big goron walks in. He tells me he has a reservation.

"I'm terribly sorry. There are no vacancies today...We're booked solid with reservations."

"I made a reservation... The name is Link-goro!"

"Mr. Link-goro? I don't have a reservation under that name. There is one close to that, but..."

"What?!? Really-goro? Well, it's nice weather, so I'll just sleep outside- goro."

"I'm terribly sorry." I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do.

Then at eight, I went to stand beside the door. Then at eight-thirty I locked the door for the evening. Then I went upstairs to my room, where I wrote a letter to Kafei explaining that this green hat boy was going to help us. I stayed in my room until 11:15 when I went downstairs to meet Link. And to my surprise was waiting for me.

"I am sorry to trouble you late at night. It's about him...Kafei. I received a letter from...him. Strange...isn't it? Getting a letter from a missing person...But there's absolutely no mistaking it's from him! It's clear...to me...Please! Here is my letter. Please put this in a postbox. When this is delivered...When he receives my letter...you should be able to meet him! Please tell him that Anju is waiting for him. And please, after you've seen him... Tell me how he looked. I', scared...I...I can't go. Can I ask this of you?"

"Yes."

"Thank you...very much." I hand him the letter.

"Please mail it immediately in the morning." Then I went back upstairs to my room and had the most peaceful sleep in a week.

The end of Chapter 7.
