Yes, chapters probably seem short, but when I write they tend to get longer as I go, I kind of suck at getting stuff set up! Sorry for that!

Anaya had just finished getting the medicine that she needed, she hadn't been there longer than twenty minutes, but she had already become impatient with all the staring. With a sigh, she wandered around and looked for a shoe store, her feet had already become a bit sore because of her shoes.
As she looked around, she started to feel like she was being watched, not just by the market people though, it had a different feeling than that. Shrugging it off, she continued on her mission to find comfort.
"A ha!" she let out a quiet sound of victory when she had found the shoe store. Hearing a person giggle at her, she simply rolled her eyes and walked into the store that would save her feet. She browsed around, it was tough to find the pair of shoes that would treat her feet right! Nobody had come to help her, but she had seen a salesman trying to convince himself to come over. She knew that he would, he wanted the money.
"Err, hello, can I help you with anything today?" The man had eventually came over, she knew that he would. She held up the shoe that she was looking at, it was a leather sandal, and only a strap near her toes and a strap around her ankles would hold them on her feet, perfect!
"I'll take these in an eight please." Anaya tried to be short with the man, he was obviously uncomfortable around her, so why drag anything on.
After she had tried them on to make sure they fit, Anaya bought them and hurried out of the store, the man had really started to make her feel awkward. She started to head towards the gate, but someone stopped her by flicking her in the back of the head. She knew that only one person would do that to her, let alone come that close to her. Turning around, a grin had grown on her face.
"Link! Where the hell have you been?" She gave him a slight punch in the shoulder. The obvious answer was that he had been busy with saving the world and all, but Anaya still wondered if that was all that had happened with him.
"Oh, you know, just out saving Hyrule, nothing too interesting. What brought you out into society today, you loner?" Link loved to tease he about her littleā¦'social problem.' She didn't mind though, she knew he was joking.
"Well, I needed some medicine, and a pair of sandals. These shoes were driving my feet insane, I can't stand them anymore!" He laughed and looked down at her feet, they shifted around like she was nervous, but he knew hat she simply hated shoes.
"So, is that all you're doing tonight? Because I might have a propositionā¦" Anaya groaned. Last time Link had a so-called 'proposition' she had ended up breaking her ankle. Even though she doubted him, she gave a sigh and a slight nod.
"Okay, fine Link. What is it this time?" She had a feeling that she would regret this later.
"Well, Zelda-" He started, but she stopped him all too quick.
"Zelda as in the Queen? What the-" He interrupted her this time.
"Let me finish! Yes, Zelda, the Queen, is holding a party tonight, why don't you come with me? I'm sure that she wouldn't mind." He put on his begging eyes. "Pleaaaase?" She gave a small grunt mixed with another sigh. He obviously actually wanted her to go, so she caved and gave a defeated nod. He gave a big grin, and then took her into a big hug.
"Thank you Anaya! Zelda has been dying to meet you for so long!" Before she could have even said anything about why she would want to meet her, Link had run off towards the castle, probably to talk to Zelda. Before he had gone out of sight though, he turned around and yelled out to her.
"Meet me at the gates at seven! See you later!" Anaya wondered about him sometimes. Wait, she thought. Had he said seven? It was about five forty five! She picked up her pace, knowing that she needed to if she were to go home and get fixed up before meeting him.
She gave a sigh as she passed Lon Lon Ranch, she would have to go and get milk another day, and this party didn't give her time to stop. When she finally made it to the area where she lived, she cradled her purchased items and broke into a paced sprint, she wanted to make sure that she wouldn't make a fool of herself at this party. When she put away her items, Anaya thought about what she could wear that night. All she really had was a black and blue type dress, and a matching blue scarf that could replace her normally canvas colored cowl. It would have to do she decided. Throwing it on, she realized that it had been half an hour, making it about six thirty, since she couldn't run there now, because of her attire, she would leave early to make sure that she had enough time. She threw on her new black leather sandals and walked out her door.
She walked rather quickly through Hyrule field, but slowed down to a normal pace when she saw the castle, and the fact that the bridge was still down. Avoiding the curious gazes of others, Anaya had quickly made her way to the castle gates and looked out for Link. Unfortunately, there were about fifty other people who appeared to also be standing around looking for people also, which made Anaya's task a little bit harder.
After she stood around for a good ten minutes, people had started to clear out a little bit, and she felt a little frustrated, Link should have been there already. While she had looked around, she had seen in the corner of her eye some town idiot who stood on top of the hill and was waving his arms. She did a double take. Oh goddess. That idiot had been Link! She ducked her head out of embarrassment and walked over to him as he had now jumped down form the hill.
"Well Anaya, ready to face a large group of people?" She gave a slight laugh, but followed him in through the gate regardless.
