Ruto looked around her palace and sighed. When would Link get back? He had been gone for about a week now. She hoped that nothing had happened to him. For if anything had, she would go crazy. They were about to be married, afterall. She had just wished she hadn't have lost the necklace. She knew that it had something to do with the Goddesses...but she didn't know what.
Going out the back way, she sighed slightly, going for a dip in the water, feeling the coolness beginning to calm her. It felt so good to be in the water. She only hoped that Link would join her soon.
Link looked at the pitiful dish of bread in despair. He was hungry...damnit...and all they gave him was this?
He bit off a piece, making a face. It was slightly stale.
Just when he was getting to the cup of water that they had given him, a tall woman with two Gerudo body guards came into the room. He looked up at her...she was beautiful. Her ebony hair was tied in a high ponytail, flowing down her back, until it reached the top of the back of her thighs. Her crimson eyes flashed softly as she looked around, then looked at him, and smiled.
"Leave us..." She told her guards, and they left, standing out front.
She pulled up a stool, and sat before the bars of the cell, looking at him. "So...Vera told me that you were the famed Link...the Princess of the Zora's dog," she said, smirking slightly, running a hand through her hair, her eyes glinting softly.
"Yeah...but I'm no one's dog, lady. I just came here to get my fiancee's necklace. If you would give it back...then I won't bother you anymore." He stood up, gazing at her through the bars. "She has to be worried about me..."
"All in due time, Link." She smiled, and reached for a glass of water that she had beside of her, crossing her legs. "So, this fiancee of yours...what is she like?"
He shook his head. When would the questions end? He supposed that he could tell her a bit about himself...it couldn't hurt. "She's, as you said, the Princess of the Zoran Kingdom. She's very beautiful...and kindhearted. After I had helped her a long time ago...we fell in love...and now we are to be married." He looked at her tiredly, wanting to get out of there.
She smiled. "Do you know who I am, Link?"
He thought for a moment. "One of your guards said something about me talking to a woman named Abha..."
She nodded. "Yes, that's me. Were you impressed to see me at all when I walked in the door?"
He stammered slightly, not sure where this was leading. "A little...I mean, you were very aptly named..you are very beautiful..." He blushed very slightly when he said this, a fact that wasn't unknown to the Gerudan woman.
"Thankyou..." She stood up, and walked to the bars, though not too close to them, giving him an appraising look. She then shook her head slightly as if deciding not to say or do something, and then put the stool back, readying to leave.
"Hey! I want to get out of here! I told you what I'm here for! I'm not a threat to you...or your guards!"
She looked over her shoulder at him. "All in good time will I let you go... I just have a proposal for you ...that will have to wait until tomorrow..." She looked at the door...seeing the sun shine through it...late...in the day. She then looked back at him, her eyes almost...glowing somewhat. "See you then," She then walked out of the room, leaving the blonde once again to his thoughts.
