Chapter Three: Daily Routine
The morning sun peeked out through the window, slowly letting it rays sink in the bright, white bedroom. Link stirred a bit in the soft, plush pillows, slowly opening up his eyes. He moved around a bit underneath the covers of the soft sheets until he touched his leg against Aryll's waist, who was sleeping soundly next to him. Overnight, they both had quarreled whether or not they should share the queen side bed with each other. Link insisted that he sleep on the plush carpeted floor but Aryll stubbornly objected to that proposal and insisted that Link share the bed with her. She had argued that there was no problem with Link sleeping next to her by her side, since he was her brother. But Link argued that it was not proper for a man to sleep next to a woman, even if they were related. But, Aryll was persistent in her argument and overtime, won over her brother, Link. Link, defeated, gave in into her argument and fell asleep in the bed with her. Link removed his leg from Aryll's waist and gently shook her shoulder.
"Aryll, wake up! The sun has risen," Link whispered softly to Aryll. Aryll slowly stirred underneath the covers, moving her head slightly, slowly opening her eyes. Aryll turned around and looked at Link.
"Is it morning already," Aryll said, yawning.
"Yes Aryll. We must get up for our daily session," Link answered.
"Alright, brother. I'll rise up," Aryll responded. Aryll stretched out her arms and cracked her back, trying to shake off the sleep that was still inside of her. Link threw off the cover and got out of the bed. He was wearing his tight white pants with no shirt on. He went over to the chair that he placed his green tunic on and slipped it on him. Link fastened his belt around his waist, making sure that the tunic was snugged tightly on. He then placed his green cap on his head and put his boots on. Aryll also got out of the bed and stretched her body out, still wearing her green halter top dress on her. Aryll went over to the closet and got her boots out. She put on her slender, brown boots and fixed her hair the best way she could. Aryll walked over to the bed and started to pull the sheet out of the bed, straightening out the bed as neatly as possible. After straightening out the bed, Aryll walked by Link, who was waiting for Aryll near the door. Link pushed a button that was next to the door and opened the door. Hairai Caldon had taught both of them last night how to open the doors of the house. Link and Aryll walked out of the bedroom and proceeded to go down to the hallway, going down the stairs. Link and Aryll went downstair and saw that Hairai was already awake, with his hair wet. He was in the kitchen area, drinking a cup of coffee. Hairai looked up at Link and Aryll.
"Good morning, young ones," Hairai greeted, "Did you both have a good night sleep?"
"Yes we did. It was pleasant," Aryll replied, "and a pleasant morning to you too, Hairai."
"Thank you, my dear," Hairai answered back, smiling.
"May I ask what are you doing up so early in this hour, Hairai," Link inquired.
"I just needed to take a shower and drink my cup of coffee. I also like reading my morning newspaper, just to see what's going on around Hyrule," Hairai replied. He looked at Link and Aryll. "What are you young ones doing up early this morning?"
"We will be traveling down the forest area for our daily walks around the woods, looking at the current surroundings of the forest," Link replied.
"That sounds good," Hairai commented.
"Me and my brother love to talk his adventurous walks. We bring ourselves closer with each other," Aryll said, hugging Link.
"It's good that you would bond like that," Hairai said, getting up from the Kitchen table, "Well, if you are going to go for a walk, I need to program you in the security door lock system, just in case I need to go to Kakariko Village in order to get some supplies."
"I...don't think I quite understand what you mean, Hairai," Link replied, confused.
"Don't worry, my boy. Why don't the two of you follow me and I'll explain everything," Hairai said, gesturing Link and Aryll to follow him. Hairai went to toward the entrance to the house, with Link and Aryll closely following him. Soon, he stopped in front of a computer touch screen monitor that had a small scanning machine next to the monitor. Hairai turned his attention to Link and Aryll, that were looking at the machines in amazement.
"Have you ever seen a machine like this before, young ones," Hairai inquired.
"N-No, I have never laid eyes on such a contraption like this before," Link commented.
"Neither have I, brother. It's astounding," Aryll commented also.
"Well, I'll explain what this machine does," Hairai said, chuckling at Link and Aryll's curiosity, "This machine is called a "Hand Scan". I know it's a weird name for it but what it does is that it can enter your profile into the computer and allow you to enter into this house with the imprint scan of your hand. All you do is put your personal information on the computer and the computer will ask you to can your hand to the scanning machine. The machine will scan your hand imprints and then transfer the information to the computer. After that is finished, the computer will have your information and your hand prints in file. Then the computer will ask the host, which would be me, if I would like to put you as a "guest" or a "member of the family". After I make the appropriate selection, then the computer will update the system and confirm that you are in the system and that now you can scan your hand to enter into the house."
Link and Aryll looked at Hairai, confused at his explanation.
"I-I'm afraid I'm quite lost in your explanation as to what this device can do, Hairai," Link said, still confused.
"I-I'm puzzled as well, Hairai," Aryll said, confused as well.
"Don't worry, young ones. I think that it would be better to show you what exactly this machine does," Hairai said.
Hairai pushed in a bunch of numbers in the touch screen, which prompted to a main menu screen. Hairai touched a shortcut button that said, "New Profiles". The New Profile window popped up and immediately, the screen said, "Enter New Profile?". Hairai pushed the yes button on the screen. Soon, another screen popped up and stated, "How many profiles would you like to enter?" followed by a list of numbers from "1-4". Hairai pressed the number "2" and then pushed the "Ok" button on the screen. Soon, another screen popped up, which was the information screen. Hairai, using the keyboard that was below the monitor, started to type up Link's information. First he put Link's name on the "first name" box, then he tabbed to the "last name box". Hairai turned his attention to Link.
"Excuse me, Link. I need to ask you. Do you have a last name," Hairai asked.
"M-My last name...I-It's..."Link choked, a tear slowly forming in his eyes. Aryll rubbed his back comfortly, hugging him.
"It's okay, brother. I-I missed saying that...name too," Aryll softly said, with tears swelling up in her eyes as well.
Hairai looked at the both of them and smiled.
"It's okay, Link. You don't have to tell me," Hairai softly replied, putting his hand gently on Link. Link smiled back, relieved that he didn't have to reveal his last name. Hairai went back to the screen and decided to put his last name "Caldon" on Link's profile. Hairai tabbed to the next box that read "age". Hairai entered "18" on the box. In the next box, where it read "height", Hairai put in "5'9" for Link's height. In the next box where it said "Weight", Hairai entered "180 lbs" for Link's Profile. Also, for the occupation box, he entered "Student" as his occupation. After all the information was entered, Hairai pressed the "Submit" button. The computer prompted another pop-up screen that said, "Enter as Guest or Family Member". Hairai pushed the button that said, "Family Member" and pressed "ok". The computer hummed for a few minutes, then another screen prompted up and said, "Please place hand on scanner." Hairai opened up the scanner and turned his attention to Link.
"Link, please place your hand on this machine," Hairai said.
Link walked up to the machine and cautiously his left hand on the scanning machine. Soon, a light emitted from the machine and started to scan Link's hand. After the scanning was done, Link removed his hand from the machine and looked at the screen. The computer started to process the scan along with Link's profile. Soon, a pop-screen came up and said, "Scanning process complete. Would you like to continue with Second profile?" Hairai pressed the "yes" button and another Information screen popped up. Hairai entered Aryll's name in the "first name" box. Afterwards, he tabbed to the "last name" box, which he entered his last name, "Caldon" in his box. In the next box that read "age" he entered the number "16" on the box. In the "height"box, he entered the number "5'6" for Aryll's height. In the "weight" box, Hairai entered in the box "135 lbs" for Aryll's weight, not sure if that was her exact weight. In the "occupation" box, he entered "Student" as her occupation. After he had entered all of her information, Hairai pressed the "Submit" button. The computer prompted to a pop-screen that said, "Enter as Guest or Family Member". Hairai pushed the button that said, "Family Member" and pressed "Ok". The computer hummed for a few minutes, then a screen prompted up and said, "Please place hand on scanner." Hairai made sure that the scanner was still opened, then he turned his attention to Aryll.
"Aryll, would you please put your hand in the scanner just like your brother did," Hairai asked politely.
Aryll walked up to the scanner and cautiously placed her right hand on the scanner. A light emitted from the machine and started to scan Aryll's hand. After the scanning was done, Aryll removed her hand from the machine and looked at the screen. The computer started to process the scan along with Aryll's profile. Soon, a pop-up screen appeared and said, "Scanning process complete. Would you like to include another profile?" Hairai pressed the "No" button. Then, another screen popped up saying, "Finish processing the two profiles?" Hairai pressed the "Yes" button on the screen. The computer started to hum for a little bit, processing the two information. Then another pop-screen appeared and said, "Process is complete. Welcome Link and Aryll! Close window?" Hairai pressed the "Yes" button. The windows closed up back into the password screen. Hairai turned his attention to Link and Aryll.
"Now the both of you are entered into the computer. You can now enter in and out whenever you like. Just scan your hand next to the door entrance and the door will automatically open for you two. Every house has this program in Hyrule with the exception of Hyrule Castle and Kakariko Village. For some reason, they still have like to use door knobs in their buildings. Well, anyways you are both entered in the computer, so now you can enter in and out as often as you want," Hairai explained, smiling at both Link and Aryll.
"Thank you so much, Hairai. We really appreciate the generosity that you are displaying to us," Aryll said.
"Don't mention it, my dear. Both of you have helped me so much. More than you ever know," Hairai proudly exclaimed.
Both Link and Aryll blushed at Hairai's comment. "We must go, sis. The sun is at a good height where we might see some of the early wildlife in Hyrule," Link spoke to Aryll.
"Yes, we must take our leave," Aryll responded.
Both Link and Aryll proceeded to go out through the door. "Goodbye, Hairai. We'll be back before the break of noon," Link said as he walked out the door with Aryll.
"Bye young ones. Be careful out there," Hairai shouted, waving back at them. Hairai shook his head as Link and Aryll walked down the steps and headed towards the eastern direction of the house, heading towards the woods. Hairai walked towards the hallway that connected to his kitchen area and walked through a door that lead to his garage. Inside his garage was a small car that could seat four people. He pressed a button next to the door and open up the garage door. Taking his wallet out of his back pocket, he took out a white card that said, "Car Keys" and walked towards the driver side of the card. On the door was a keypad with some numbers on it. Hairai punched the numbers and opened the door. Inside, the car had four seat, the had a pastel beige color, which matched with the light brown dashboard. On the dashboard panel was a Six-CD player that could also play mp3 music and satellite radio. Next to the cd player, below the window panel, there was a card slot that read, "Insert Key". Hairai inserted the "Car Key" card through the slot, which automatically turned the car on. The car started to float in the air for a little bit. Hairai pushed a button on the top of the ceiling, which opened up his garage. Slowly, Hairai backed up the car, into the street. He pushed the button again to close the garage. Hairai slowly drove off towards the western side of his house, heading for Kakariko Village.
Link and Aryll continued along the pathway to the towards the woods. The trees were lush and green, and beautiful flowers adorned the pathway with bright colors. Aryll took in the beautiful sight, inhaling the sweet scent that perfumed from the flowers. Link looked around the beautiful forest entrance and saw many small birds, chirping at the bright morning sun. Many deers were also seen, grazing through the grass with their family. The deer hardly noticed Link and Aryll walking along the pathway, since both Link and Aryll took their time walking along the pathway. Soon, Link and Aryll approached a huge, open meadow, that was surrounded by trees. The sun brightly beamed down on the meadow, shedding light on the soft grass. Link quickly turned his attention to Aryll.
"This meadow hasn't changed since we left," Link commented.
"Indeed it hasn't," Aryll agreed.
"Wait here, Aryll. I'll be right back with our supplies," Link said. Link walked toward a huge tree to the left of the meadow while Aryll waited for Link to return, standing at the center of the meadow. Link walked behind the huge tree, inspecting the ground next by the roots. He saw a rope that was next to the tree. Grabbing the rope, Link pulled the rope to reveal a secret compartment that had two wooden long sticks inside. Link grabbed the two long pole sticks and quickly closed the compartment, before anybody saw him. Link abruptly came out from behind the tree and walked up to Aryll, with the two sticks in his hand. He tossed one stick to Aryll, who immediately caught the stick with ease.
"Just because we have ventured in a different era of Hyrule does not mean we should lack in our training session," Link said, determined.
"I quite agree, brother. Shall we?" Aryll gestured, gazing at her brother with determination.
Link nodded at Aryll, grinning at her. Suddenly, Link ran towards Aryll and thrusted his wooden stick to her left side but he was thwarted as Aryll blocked his attack with the wooden stick at her hand. Soon, Aryll started to thrust her stick towards Link, making direct contact with his stick as he dodged her every movement. Aryll gripped the wooden stick with her two hands, holding it tightly. She then ran up towards Link and jumped up, preparing to strike Link at a mid-air assault. Link dodged the attack by doing a back flip as Aryll came down, swinging her stick towards him. Link ran towards Aryll, trying to attack her, but failed as she somersaulted her way out of the impeding attack . Link spun around and ran toward her, trying to attack her from the back, but immediately, without turning around, Aryll blocked Link's attack with clanging her stick with Link's. Aryll spun around and started to thrust her stick toward Link, twisting and turning the stick as if it was a sword. When Aryll thrusted her stick at Link's right side, Link blocked it with his stick and also swept her feet, causing Aryll to fall on the grass on her back. Link pinned her down, gripping her wrist firmly.
"A man will want to take advantage of this situation, my dear sister. But he shall not have his way, shall he?" Link said, seriously eyeing her.
"No, he shall not. I will make certain that he doesn't try to take advantage of me," Aryll responded.
Swiftly, Aryll thrusted her foot right a Link's groin and kicking him off of her. Link clutched his sensitive area, feeling the immense pain that was throbbing all over him. Aryll quickly got up from the ground and grabbed her wooden stick, quickly grabbing Link's wooden stick as well. She quickly ran towards Link, who was still sitting on the floor in immense pain. Just as he was about to stand up from the ground, Aryll thrusted her two sticks towards Link, lightly jabbing one at his neck and the other at his stomach, holding them in place.
"If any man dares come near me, then I will smite him," Aryll replied firmly, holding her ground.
"W-Well...done...Aryll," Link commented, wincing in slight of pain. Aryll released the stick away from him and helped him up off of the ground. She threw the Link's stick back to him, as Link easily caught it.
"I'm sorry if I treated you to roughly, brother," Aryll apologized, patting Link's back.
"No, Aryll. No apology needed. You needed to get yourself out of danger. Never apologize when it concerns your life," Link firmly said, looking deeply in Aryll's eyes. Aryll nodded in response to Link's comment. "However, you are improving in your skills. You are becoming a far worthy opponent and could challenge any of the talent, young knights of Hyrule. Still, we must train for who knows what fate will dealt with us the next day," Link said.
"Well said, brother," Aryll agreed. Soon, Link and Aryll continued sparring with one another, twisting and turning, clanging their sticks with one another, sweating profusely.
Hairai was arriving to the market place along the streets of Kakariko Village. He slowly floated alongside a small cabin with a redbrick chimney in place. An man, in his forties, was trying to cut his lawn when he spotted Hairai, descending from the air and landing softly on the ground. Immediately, he left his gardening tools on the ground and hastily walked towards Hairai, who was getting out of the car. He waved to Hairai, who saw him looking at him.
"Hey, Hairai. How have you been?" The man greeted.
"I've been well. I'm here in Kakariko Village picking up a few things for the house. What's been going on around here?" Hairai greeted back.
"Nothing much. It's been pretty quite. It's just the latest rumors about Princess Zelda partying, again. Sigh...I wonder what type of a role model she displaying for our young girls? Will she ever learn?" the Man commented.
"I don't know. I guess...time will just have to tell us," Hairai replied, "Anyways, I need to go to the market and gather some things. I have two young people that are staying with me."
"Really? Are they relatives of yours," the Man questioned.
"No. They are both new travelers to Hyrule and they needed a place to stay. I'm surprised. They are the most eloquented young people that I have ever met. The pair are siblings. A brother and a sister with a strong bond for each other," Hairai explained.
"Do they have parents?" the Man questioned further.
"It appears that the parents are deceased, for when I put the young man's profile in the "Hand Scan" program to get into the house and asked him for his last name, he choked into tears along with his younger sister. So I just put my last name into his profile, so that way I wouldn't bring up that subject again," Hairai explained further.
The man eyed Hairai, looking at him seriously. "Hairai...are you trying to adopt those young people into your home? Did you forget what happened to your wife..." the man said but was interrupted by Hairai.
"Let's not talk about that," Hairai sadly said, "It's hard enough that I'm reminded about her everyday. I...miss her. We wanted to have children together."
"I know that she meant the world to you, Hairai. I knew that she would have wished for children, just like you wanted too have some. But...you can't replace the lost of your wife with these young people the you have invited into your home," Harold pointed out.
"I know, Harold, I know. But...Those young ones, Link and Aryll. They...they really made me feel like they are my children. I just can't help myself when I look at them. Sometimes, I wish that they were my children," Hairai sighed. Harold looked at Hairai sorrowfully, feeling his pain. Harold smiled at Hairai, comforting him.
"Well, Hairai. At least you are helping those young people. I'm sure that they are eternally grateful for your kindness," Harold commented.
"I guess you're right," Hairai agreed, "Well, I have to get going to the Kakariko shop before it closes. I wanted to get a surprise for Link and Aryll. I see you later, Harold."
"See ya and have a good day," Harold waved to Hairai as he was going inside the Kakariko shop.
Meanwhile, Link and Aryll were traveling back to the Hairai's white house. Both were dripping in sweat, with cuts and scrapes all over their body, worn out from their sparring session. Slowly, Link and Aryll walked up the steps of the white house, their bodies aching from the intense battling that both had performed earlier on the day. Up the stair and in front of the door, Link placed his hand on the white screen. The screen immediately scanned Link's hand and opened the door for him. Both Link and Aryll walked inside the house, searching for Hairai.
"Hairai, we came back," Link shouted at the empty house.
"Hairai?" Aryll shouted as well. Both listened to see if their was any signs that Hairai was inside the house, but they heard nothing.
"I guess...we went somewhere, brother," Aryll commented.
"Yes, I do believe you are right. Perhaps we should make a feast for him when he arrives," Link suggested.
"That's a grand idea, brother. But...we do not know how to use the strange devices that he used to prepare our feast that we ate last night," Aryll inquired.
"That is true, Aryll. But, we do not need such things. Our uncle taught us how to cook and we shall use the same methods that he used. We will just require to...borrow some items from Hairai. He won't mind. I'm sure that he will enjoy the feast that we'll prepare for him. Let's get started, Aryll," Link excitedly said.
"I'm with you, brother," Aryll happily replied.
Link went into the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator, grabbing some vegetables, meats, and other items for the feast. Aryll walked into the kitchen as well and grabbed some utensils from the cabinets and drawers, getting a cutting board in the process. Link placed the food on the table. Link walked towards a door to his left, next by the kitchen and walked outside at the left side of the house. He saw an old pot and some chopped pieces of wood that was next to the house. Link grabbed a good amount of pieces of chopped wood and started to pile them in a circular form on a level dirt patch. Link gathered some rocks that were nearby and started to place them around the pieces of wood. He grabbed two long pieces of stick and fiercely rubbed them together, constricting them to make a fire. Soon, the stick started to burn and a fire was formed from the sticks. Link blew onto the fire, making sure that the fire was fulled flamed to a good size. He hastily put the pot on top of the fire. Then Link got a bucket filled with water and poured it into the huge pot.
Aryll was in the kitchen, chopping up slices of vegetables, putting them in a plastic bowl. Aryll got a small bowl and started to mix ingredients for a salad dressing, pouring in all the herb, spices, and olive oil for the salad.
Outside, Link getting all the food that he had collected from the table and started to mix some ingredients inside the boiling pot, mixing in the flavors for a savory, delicious feast. Both Aryll and Link continued to prepare the feast for Hairai, mixing and boiling, sweating over a hot meal.
Hairai was flying towards his white house with a bunch of bags in the back of his car. He was passing by a field full of flowers, adorned with a beautiful array of colors. Slowly he descended from the sky and stopped his car on the ground. Hairai got out of the car and started to walk towards the beautiful array of flowers, plucking some choice colors and gathering them together in a bunch. He tied the group of beautiful flowers into a bouquet, carefully putting them in the back of his car. Hairai got in his car and started to ascend towards the sky, floating gently towards his white house. He pushed the button that opened up his garage door and slowly entered inside his garage. Slowly his car started to descend on he ground, floating gently downwards on the cement floor. Hairai got out of his car and opened up his back door. He grabbed all of his grocery bags, which were filled with some clothing, shampoo and conditioners, ands some other essential items. He closed the back door and proceeded to walk towards the entrance to the kitchen.
As soon as he opened up his door, he could smell the aroma of well prepared food hovering around the kitchen area into his dining room. He slowly walked towards the dining area, carefully checking out his surroundings to see if Aryll and Link were present. Hairai walked into the dining room and was shocked to see that a grand banquet had been prepared for him. There was an array of moisten, tender, meats, steamed vegetables, and fresh baked bread waiting for him on the table, each hot and ready to be served. Hairai almost dropped his groceries over the shock of all the well prepared food sitting on top of his table. On the left side of the table, Link and Aryll were standing up, smiling at Hairai.
"Good afternoon, Hairai. We have prepared a delicious feast for you," Aryll said.
"We wanted to surprise you with a banquet since you have been so generous to offer us a home to stay in. I hope that you will be pleased with our meal that we both worked hard to prepare for you," Link happily said.
"Y-You...young ones d-did this for...me?" Hairai choked, with tears in his eyes.
Link and Aryll nodded in response, happily smiling at Hairai.
Hairai was filled with love for Aryll and Link. Immediately, Hairai put his bags of groceries on the ground and gave both Link and Aryll a big hug, silently crying. Link and Aryll returned the gesture and hugged him back tightly, happily smiling at him. Hairai broke off from the hug and wiped his tears away.
"T-Thank You, Link and Aryll. This is truly a treat," Hairai cheerfully said. Hairai grabbed his bags from the floor and put them on a chair. "I got a surprise for you two," Hairai grinned.
Link and Aryll looked at Hairai, curious over what he had purchased. Hairai pulled out a couple of clothes out. He handed the clothing to Aryll. Aryll looked at Hairai, smiling at him.
"A-Are these garments...for me?" Aryll asked, with her eyes sparkling.
"Yes, my child. I noticed that you and your brother have been wearing the same pair of clothing ever since I first saw you, so I wanted to give you both some new fresh clothing to wear so that I can get out of your dirty ones," Hairai explained, blushing slightly.
"T-Thank you, Hairai. I shall try out these new garments as soon as I cleanse myself," Aryll said, running her fingers through wet, sticky hair.
"I thought you might wanted to take a shower, so I brought some shampoo and conditioner for you, plus a body wash made out of milk and honey fragrances with a small sponge," Hairai said, showing all the condiments that he described to Aryll. Aryll took the supplies from Hairai and smiled at him.
"Thank you, Hairai. I shall cleanse myself at the local pond when I have the chance," Aryll said.
"T-The local pond? Nonsense, my child. I will show you how to use the shower in the bathroom," Hairai firmly said, gesturing to Aryll and Link, "Both of you follow me."
Hairai walked upstairs toward the bathroom, with Link and Aryll following him. Inside the bathroom, Hairai walked towards the shower stall, opening up the glass door that surrounded it. Inside the shower stall was a shower head and below that was a panel with color buttons on them. On the panel it had a sign that read, "On" and "Off". On the color button, their was three of them that read, "Cold", "Warm" and "Hot". Below the color buttons was a dial knob that could control the amount of temperature that the water would be spewing out. Above the color buttons was another panel with two buttons that read, "Faucet" and "Shower". Hairai turned his attention to Link and Aryll, who were curiously looking at the shower stall.
"Now, I'm going to show you how to turn on the water for the shower," Hairai started to explain, "First, you press this button that said "On" and that will turn on the water on the Faucet. Here, I'll show you." Hairai pressed the "On" button. Soon, the water flowed freely through the faucet, smoothly churning on the shower floor. Hairai turned his attention back to Aryll and Link.
"Next, if you want to have warm or hot water, all you have to do is press the button that reads "Warm or Hot", which I will show you right now," Hairai said, pressing the "Warm" button, "Then, you can switch from the faucet to the shower head and vice versa by pressing either button's "faucet" or "shower", that I will now press." Hairai pressed the "shower" button. Soon, water gently flowed down from the shower head, spraying down to the shower floor. Aryll touched the water, feeling the gentle water dripping down on her fingers, feeling the warmth of the water on her skin.
"This water feels warm against my skin. Perhaps I should cleanse myself here in this strange contraption. Will you be able to assist me if I have any trouble working this device?" Aryll politely asked.
"Uh...I-I'm not ...related to you and it wouldn't be right for me to see you...exposed," Hairai commented, blushing hugely, "B-But maybe your brother, Link, can help you out. If you need to turn off the water for any reason, all you have to do is press the "Off" button and the water will automatically turn off. Did I explain everything clearly for the both of you?"
"Yes," Link and Aryll said in unison.
"Very well, then. I'll leave all these supplies for you, Aryll and I'll just go downstairs and get Link's new clothing as well," Hairai said, rushing out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Link and Aryll just look at the bathroom door, confused at just what happen. Both of them shrugged it off, focusing on the shower.
"Well, brother. I shall cleanse myself now. Would you be so kind as to get me two drying cloths while I undress myself?" Aryll asked.
"Y-Yes, Aryll. I'll get them for you," Link hastily said, slightly blushing. Link opened up a closet door that was on the side of the sink. He saw two towels that were a big enough for Aryll to wrap her body and hair around and dry off. He quickly grabbed the towels from the closet and shut the door. Aryll slowly started to take off her halter-top dress, making sure that her dress didn't get torn. Soon, she was completely naked, her tone body exposed into the sunlight. Link turned around but quickly turned away when he saw that Aryll had completely undressed herself.
"H-Here's...the...cloths...that you...wanted," Link nervously handed her the towels, having his eyes covered by his hands, blushing.
"Thank you, brother. Will you please step outside so that I can throughly cleanse myself? I shall call you if I need assistant," Aryll said.
"Sure, sister. If you need me, I shall be outside waiting for you," Link said. He hastily walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
Aryll entered inside the shower, letting the warm water flow down her toned out body, wetting her soft skin. Aryll grabbed the body wash and open up the bottle. She squeezed the body wash into the sponge and started to lather herself on the soapy substance, scrubbing her body from the top of her neck to the bottom of her toes. She rinsed herself off the soapy suds, making sure that all the suds were completely rinsed off. Soon, Aryll wetted her hair, making sure that all her strands were soaked throughly. Aryll took the bottle of shampoo and poured some of the contents on her hand. She started to lather her hair throughly, scrubbing her head at the same time. After she rinsed out her hair throughly, Aryll poured out some contents of conditioner on her hand. Aryll started to scrub her hair with the conditioner, making sure that every strand was moisturized evenly. Aryll rinsed her hair off throughly and then she pushed the "Off" button, turning off the water completely. Aryll stepped out of the shower stall and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her body. Aryll took the other towel and wrapped her hair around. Soon, she was rubbing her body dry, making sure that she wiped away any water from her body. Aryll slowly sifted through the clothing and was holding some pink panties that was in the pile of clothing. Aryll slowly slipped them on, making sure that they were nice and snug. She found a pink bra in the clothing and started to slip it on her, but was having trouble closing it. Soon, she was able to latch on the hooks together into a tight fit, fixing her bra. Aryll saw a pair of dark blue low-rider jeans, and she slipped them on, zipping them up tightly and buttoning them so that it had a good fit on her body. The last piece of clothing was a pink shirt and a pair of pink sandals. Aryll slipped on the pink shirt that clung to her body and she slipped into her pink sandals. Seeing a comb on the counter, she started to straighten out her hair, evenly spreading out her strands of blonde hair. After fixing herself a bit, Aryll looked in the mirror, amazed at the garments that were given to her. Aryll opened the door to the bathroom, holding her green halter-top dress on her arm.
Link was standing next to the doorway, waiting for Aryll to finish in the shower. Soon, Aryll came out of the bathroom and Link was shocked to see Aryll with her tight, dark blue jeans and pink t-shirt that clung to her body. Link walked up to Aryll, still staring at her.
"Y-You're...beautiful, Aryll," Link commented.
"Thank you, brother," Aryll replied, blushing. Soon, Hairai walked upstairs carrying Link's clothes with him. He looked at Aryll and was amazed at how beautiful she looked.
"Y-You...are...stunning, my child," Hairai commented, causing Aryll to blush even more, "Should I throw away your old clothes."
"N-No...I could never give up these garments. T-They were given to me by someone...dear in my heart. My uncle..." Aryll sadly stated. Hairai smiled at Aryll.
"Would you like for me to wash your old clothes so that way they'll be new and crisp? I'll make sure that they won't get torn," Hairai confirmed. Aryll nodded and handed Hairai her halter-top dress. Hairai gently took the cherished garment from Aryll and handed Link his new clothing.
"Here's some new clothes that I got for you as well, Link," Hairai said. Link smiled and took the clothes respectfully from Hairai.
"Do not worry about me. The both of you enjoy the feast that we have prepared. I shall cleanse myself and join you shortly," Link said as he entered into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
