Chapter Six: Spying
"Would you like to rent your usual room?" A tall brown-haired lady asked Link. Link nodded, and the clerk started to write down the room.
"If you don't mind, could you put two beds in there. I have a traveling companion now…" Link nodded over to a seat of chairs, where Tessa was sitting, not even paying attention to the conversation. Her eyes were out of focus, like she was daydreaming.
"Are you all right?" Link walked over to Tessa, who didn't seem to hear him. "Tessa?"
Tessa blinked her eyes into focus, and looked at him. "Huh?" Tessa asked, sounding a bit tired. She shook her head. "Sorry, I kind of had a hard time paying attention when I'm bored." Tessa sighed and stood up. "So, what now?"
"How about we get you some new clothes…" Link said, looking at her jeans and t-shirt with sneakers. Tessa looked down.
"What's wrong with my clothes?" Tessa asked, tugging at her jeans.
"Well…they're…odd…" Link couldn't find anything else to say, so he decided to go with "odd". Tessa wasn't entirely willing to have to give up her clothes in this world, but she realized that it might be for the best. She just hoped she wouldn't have to wear many skirts or dresses. Especially if she'd be riding around on Tompton. 'No way am I going to continue this journey later, anyways.'
"Fine…but you're not coming. It's weird shopping for clothes with a guy." Tessa muttered and started to leave the hotel, but Navi flew in front of her.
"Not alone, you're not!" Navi ordered. Tessa raised her eyebrow. "You could go and send Ganondorf some information!"
"I don't work for Ganondorf!" Tessa said through clenched teeth, glaring at the fairy. Link sighed and gave Navi a look. Navi wavered in the air before Tessa, and then flew right back to Link. Tessa shrugged and left the hotel, looking for the nearest clothing store.
"Link! I still don't trust her." Navi muttered, and Link sighed again.
"Do you want to spy on her or something?" Link asked, exasperated. There was no way that Tessa was a spy for Ganondorf.
"Yes I do!" Navi screeched, and the desk clerk gave the fairy a dumbfounded look, before shaking her head and turning into a file room.
"Look, I'm going to start searching…again." Link started. "If you want to come with me, fine, if you want to spy on Tessa, go right on ahead. I still don't believe she's one of Ganondorf's spies." He left the hotel, not waiting for Navi to decide. It only took Navi a moment, but she sighed and left the hotel.
'Now to find that girl…'
'Uhhhhh…' Tessa blinked, looking around her. 'Where do I buy clothes?'
She was in the shopping area of the town, and there were plenty of stores, just not for clothes. There was a weird store that stood out that had potions or something like that. She wasn't about to go in there.
It didn't help that she couldn't read the language. They used the same vocabulary, but not the same alphabet. All she had to go one was what she saw through the windows of the stores.
Sighing, Tessa walked on a bit, and between a few shops. It took her a little bit, but she finally found a clothing store. She entered it and looked around. It wasn't big, but it sure had a lot of clothes. Tessa's eyes widened slightly, and she realized that this could be a looooong day.
"I'm going to miss my jeans…"
Navi watched Tessa pick through clothes from an abandoned shelf, a soft pinkish-red glowing around her. The shelf was high-up, close to the ceiling, which explained why it was empty. It made for the perfect spot for spying on a…well…spy. Although…Navi had admit…for a spy, Tessa sure seemed…lost…
"Damn…" Tessa sighed as she looked at all of the clothes. "It would help if I was…clothing oriented. Ava's like that…" Tessa sighed again, and one of the clerks rushed over.
"Dear…would you like some help?" Tessa nodded, and the woman squealed, seized her by the arm, and took her too a stool to get some sizings. "Now…what kind of clothes would you like?"
"Something practical." Tessa shrugged. "I'm going to be riding my horse a lot…and umm…" Tessa frowned. "I guess I'll be doing a lot of exploring…"
"Well, then, hold on a moment please, I have just the right outfits picked out for you!" The clerk rushed off into the store, and left Tessa there to be bored out of her mind. It took her ten minutes, but finally the clerk came back with an armload of clothes. "Now…try these on!" She shoved Tessa into the dressing room, and almost a half-hour later Tessa came back with less then half of the outfits originally. There were only one or two skirts, one dress, and quite a few pants and shirts. The clerk was still smiling as Tessa paid for them and left the store. Navi followed quietly still.
"Now I have to change into them…" Tessa frowned once more. "Now…where do I go?" Tessa sighed, hitched her bag back up, and started to head back towards the hotel. "I hope Link's in there…I don't have a key." Tessa murmured, and headed in the direction of the hotel. Navi sighed and followed her. Absolutely no suspicious activity what-so-ever!
Well…Navi would still be at least a little bit tense around her for a little bit at least. 'Or I could go and talk with her.'
Tessa stopped and readjusted her grip on the bags. Granted, there were only two, but they cut off the blood circulation to her hands. Then, she heard a faint tinkle sound and looked to her right to see a golden ball of light…with wings…
"Hello Navi." Tessa said cheerily. Navi gave a brief nod to show and Tessa started to walk again, this time with a companion by her shoulder. Only five minutes later did Tessa stop suddenly, and cocked her head to the side, as she tried to listen to something. Navi stopped, and listened to. The twins had been shouting at each other again, this time about an unusual topic.
"I tell you I saw him!"
"There is no such thing!"
"Of course there is! And I saw him!"
"There is no such thing you moron!"
"Yes there is! I saw Dante the Gravekeeper's ghost! He was carrying a lantern, and suddenly he disappeared into his grave!"
"You're insane!"
Tessa pursed her lips and continued to walk again. "Navi, you don't suppose that ghost has anything to do with that special item, do you?" Navi hovered in the air for a moment, thinking for a second.
"It's worth a try." Navi sighed, and they approached the hotel. It didn't take them long to find Link's room, thanks to Navi, and Tessa knocked on the door. A shuffling of footsteps could be heard, and the door opened to reveal Link. He smiled and let the two in. Tessa motioned for Navi to talk to Link while she got dressed, and so she did.
"Ghost?" Link questioned. Navi nodded.
"With the luck we've been having so far, it's worth a shot."
"Are we just going to find his grave and wait for him to appear?"
"…Well…" Navi seemed unsure.
"Why not? I don't know anything else that will work." Tessa came out, wearing a pair of loose black pants and a red no-sleeved tunic. She wore a pair of black slip-ons as well. It was better than her style clothes at least. Tessa even had on a dark red headband, although she kept her bangs on the front of her face.
"All right. When do we leave?" Link asked, and suddenly a growling sound was heard. Link and Navi jumped slightly, until Tessa had a sheepish look.
"Eh…can we eat first?"
