Chapter 30 - The wedding
Many people were gathered on Tempora Field, just outside of Clocktown, under the warm rays of the sun. Everyone agreed it was a beautiful day for the wedding. Marayilken, the new mayor of Clocktown waited patiently until the milkcart would come from Romani Ranch, carrying the two people to be wedded. The crowd opened up and let the cart pass. Right before the mayor it stopped and Link and Romani both stepped out. Link wore his green tunic with one red and one blue shoulderpiece, symbolising his connection to both the Zora as the Goron, (but no one could say why he had such a large black belt). He wore an owl mask, representing both Kaepora, the old sage of Hyrule who had incarnated as an owl, as well as the owl that had helped him in his adventure here in Tempora, not to mention a small reference to the owl statues in Holodrum and Labrynna (amazing what you can say with just one mask). Romani wore a purple dress with also a blue and red shoulderpiece, and surprisingly also a large black belt. Her mask looked like the ghosts she and Link had hunted just two nights ago, symbolizing the first time they met. At her left wrist she had the powerbracelet Link had found in Holodrum. During the ceremony the two lovers only had eyes for each other.
"That was a lovely service." Nabooru smiled.
Link couldn't think of an other way to react but grin.
"Well, you really have to give that compliment to the mayor, he arranged it practically all by himself. And the catering of course is by courtesy of the Stockpot Inn."
"Of course." Nabooru let out a reluctant grin as she picked up a small sandwich and examined it a bit closer.
When she seemed to reach a conclusion she sighed.
"Do we really have to eat it?"
"It's good." Link nodded.
"I've stayed at the Inn the last few days, I know Anju can't cook."
"It's not Anju who made the food, Kafei made it, he's a great cook! Really!"
Nabooru gave Link a look that advised him not to tell any lies and then took a small bite from the sandwich.
"Mmm, this IS good."
"What did I tell you!" Link laughed and patted her on her arm, "I've you'll excuse me, I have to mingle some more."
Link looked around and saw Romani talk to Zelda somewhere at the other side of the table. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Before he left Hyrule, Zelda didn't seem to be too fond of Romani, now they were chatting as if they were best friends. It kinda reminded him on the strange friendliness of Alexis. He shook his head, maybe he sought too much behind this. There were other things to think about, like... uhm, he was sure he could think of some when he had more time. Anyway, there was Malon and Makei, seemingly more interested in each other than the festivities. Link quickly maneuvered through the crowd and stopped next to Malon.
"Oh Link congratulations!" she flung herself around his neck.
"Thanks, so, tell me," Link let out a wicked smile, "when will I be invited to your wedding?"
Malon suddenly looked down and glanced to Makei. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable standing there.
"Uhm, there aren't any concrete plans yet..." Malon started.
Fuck, Link thought, they hadn't discussed anything like this before, and now he forced the big issue on them.
"But maybe in a year or two, or maybe even next year." Makei splatted out.
Malon's eyes brightened.
"Really? I'm mean, really, uhm, yes, somewhere around then." She corrected herself.
Link quickly turned around and disappeared through the crowd while Malon gave Makei a big hug. Trying to see through all the people Link looked for Romani. Just as he saw her someone pulled his arm and Link was dragged in a conversation with Mirel, the postman, and Yuri, the banker.
"I'm telling you, he knew when exactly ten seconds were passed. Show him Link."
"Uhm." Link had no idea what to do. The ten second test from Mirel wasn't to hard when you had a big clock hanging in front of you (would you believe he never noticed Link focused on the clock during that test?) and also, when he wore the bunny mask, he could use natures clock, or something like that, he then always knew what time it was, so ten seconds were easy. But now he had to do that without clock, mask or preparation.
"Well..."
"Voila, ten seconds." Mirel said.
"Oh, please, we don't have a watch, how can we know that was ten seconds." Yuri objected.
"I know, and Link knows. Amazing, after almost ten years you still nail those ten seconds perfectly. I honestly thought you would be of by a second, but no, right on the dot."
"Yeah well," Link tried to take a pose that said 'you know, either you have it or you don't'.
"I'm telling you, this guy is amazing. I even made him mailman."
"What? Solemnly based on that ten seconds test?"
"No, well, partly because of that, but also he gave me the opportunity to run to safety when the moon was falling."
"But the moon didn't fall, so you had no business running away."
"I know, that's why I had a severe sanction when I returned the next day. But..."
Neither of them paid any attention to him anymore, so Link quietly left the two friends arguing. He really wanted to see Romani but once again he was dragged into a conversation again.
"Really, this guy brought all my workers back from the Gerudo."
And then people claim their wedding is the happiest day of their life.
