Tradition
"Surprised to see you up this early. I would figure women sleep in." Link said after parting his mouth away from an ocarina.
"Well, I suppose.I wouldn't know, I don't live in this town. I don't really live anywhere as a matter of fact. I get around doing small jobs. I guess it's not that bad." Midori replied when she sat down on a crate, coming outside from the inn.
Link looked over to her, actually thinking she looked rather nice in a dark green men's shirt that fitted her just right, giving her some figure instead of the somewhat brown, baggy pants and the boots fit her nicely. He had changed into his red suit for that day and looked back over to the horizon where the sun was barely staring to rise.
"Would you like to come with me?"
"What?"
"It gets pretty lonely just traveling around and having an annoying fairy around you." He responded, handing her back her mirror.
"You don't like Navi? Tin and I get along pretty good I suppose. It's just when he nags."
"That sounds about right." He slightly laughed, brushing away the blonde bangs that dangled in his face, "Midori.tell me about your people's Goddess, Danu."
"Did Navi tell you my name?"
"Yes, she got it from Tin when they were talking."
"Hm.yes, well.Danu, it was said, was a priestess of this land. She had died of a desiring man, because she wouldn't obey his commands. She was the one that controlled the spirits within this land, Danisnell, and she was the master of everything within it. But when she died, she dragged the man with her to his death and later she was our Goddess, because her spirit had lingered on, because everything was still in her wishes and control." Midori explained, "I.did live here, but a priest had caught me within Danu's holy temple and thought I was cursing her, but really I was praying in an ancient tongue only few of us know. I guess he wasn't one to understand. They kicked me out. So ever since I was thirteen I haven't come back and time went on and they forgot about me. I joined with a band of people in another far off origin of this land and I was properly raised till I could go out on my own. I'm always welcomed there."
"What are they called?"
"Presterians and this town of Danisnell is soon going to hold a big party in celebration of the anniversary of Danu."
Midori folded her arms and leaned against the inn wall looking off into the rising hue of a highlighted sun. Link looked at her, noticing the grim expression crossing her face.
"Well.will you be joining the party?" He asked.
"No."
"Huh, why not?"
"Because I don't want to. I don't like being around these people. I'll go back to Presta. Too many people judge you here. They've been like that ever since Danu was a spirit." She said and stood straight up, opening the door to the inn, "Thank you, Link."
With that she walked back inside and grabbed a small bag from off her bed, stuffing the mirror in it with a few items of clothing Link had also gotten her and other accessories.
"Then, would you mind if I saw how you celebrate your Goddess with the Presterians?"
"Tin said that they grow curious of why the Hero of Time would be associating with their rankings." Navi spoke to Link, who watched the proud people of their home call out praises and smiled as little ones ran about, flowers bonded and wrapped around their heads.
"Tell him it's called taking in history." Link smirked and when Navi repeated it to the other fairy, Tin rang in neither a happy or angry tone.
"Hello Link."
There was a loud ringing of laughter from the two fairies when Link turned flush in the face seeing Midori dressed in white just as he and the children. It was laced in the front and ended just above her knees. Her hair was also partially pulled up in ribbon. His outfit was the same as any other of his and it had been designed especially for the special guest.
"Y-You're a virgin too, Midori?" He stuttered, almost thinking a squeak had fit in there somewhere, "We're the only one's here beside the little children dressed in white because of that."
"What did you expect?" She questioned, surprised he would bring the subject up, "I'm one of the only people that remains for now and it's not like I'm a blood-related Presterian. And for them, it's known for young virgins, younger than I to.umm.elope on this night. I guess you don't do that where you live."
"No.we don't."
There was a call and Midori looked over to that direction and then back to Link. His face was still flush, but he was slowly recovering.
"I'll be back. I have to dance for the little ones now. It's tradition." She said smiling, before she ran off.
"I suppose it's going to be tradition for you two tonight."
Navi flew away laughing with Tin before Link could do anything to her.
"Surprised to see you up this early. I would figure women sleep in." Link said after parting his mouth away from an ocarina.
