It had been a few days sense link had arrived and almost overnight the whole camp knew of him, and most of the gerudo could hardly wait to meet him. Link was currently living with the mothers and the children in the nursery and the mothers where over joyed and took him in right away. However not everyone like the idea of him living in the tribe, they hated him not only because he was a male in the female tribe but also because he was hylian born. Nabooru decided it would be wise to have aveil watch link as they had not had a male in many years and feared for his safety having her in charge of his protection, however aveil did not like having to be the one to watch him. The nursery was a rather large room with a hearth in the center and columns with cloth vials in between them and over the windows to keep excess light out. As avile watched she could see three mothers fawning over him while they braided his hair and made funny faces for him. And while this was going on he sat quiet and unaware of the fuse while he drank some form of potion from a bottle which the others (save aveil) found adorable. Aveil though found it ridicules that they acted so foolishly around him and wondering why she had to monitor him. When one of the girls finished the braid she held it up for the others to see too there amusement one of the mothers further away found it very funny "I thought the hylian was a boy." she said jokingly everyone in the room (minus aveil) laughed at this. Some else decided to add to it saying "maybe there trying to make him a gerudo like us" and making them laugh harder though they quickly regretted it as some of the infants sleeping woke up and started to cry and left them trying to calm their daughters. And watching was avile finding there mistake as her gain see the sight as rather amusing though it did not show.

After things settled down the two other girls who were braiding link hair where nearly finished and a few of the girls played with him. Link was clearly watching the girls who made faces and hand signs for him and thought it was funny how closely link watched them as if he were studying them. But soon after though he begins to get drowse as his eyes began to drop. He struggled to stay awake nodding off while sitting up and almost every one found his display adorable. Try as he might link fell back on to the lap of one of the gerudo and fell asleep and they hovered over him with pleased expressions on their faces. Once they knew he was fast asleep they picked him up and placed him gently on a blanket to sleep which gave the mothers a chance to check on their children to their obvious disappointment. As things settled down and the mothers played or feed their children Avail continued to watch the boy from the corner of the room. 'Why do they have such attachment to him he is just like any other here...Aside from him being male he no different. And for that matter he is not even gerudo born…so why?' these thought continued to plague avile even though it was by her suggestion they take him to nabooru it was only as a counter measure to prevent a fight amongst her group. As she thought she spared a glance out the window it was late morning note how mid-day meal would come soon 'well it looks like I will have to check the servers for weapons and poison soon' she thought as she looked back towards the child. Sighing loudly 'how much longer am I going to have to endure this?' she wondered to herself bitterly.

About an half hour later trays of food where brought in, but before they were allowed to in avile had to check them for weapons or other things that may be of used to harm the hylian as avile called him. Once they were cleared they laid out the food and the mothers went about giving their children there naps. And avile returned to her spot in the corridor of the room watching the child who was lying in the same spot as before. She was beginning to relax as nothing had happened all day and the only chance of someone sneaking in was to deliver food. And as much as she despised of him she was given strict orders to guard him and she was never one to disobey. Avile was beginning to think her presence was for not when a "maaaaa!" shouted a high pitched voice casing avile to jump to attention. Everyone else's attention was also drawn to the shout as well and avile was about draw her blade when a short long haired gerudo child came bursting through the silk door. Avile merely rolled her eyes at this but noticed of a large bundle for her size that she was carrying. "mama I got them!" she shouted as she ran to one of the mothers who were near link and she looked up and smiled "amber over here" the mother said happily. The girl rushed over to the mother smiling at her and holding the bundle to her chest "I go the things from the weavers like you asked for." She said cheerfully "thank you honey." Her mother said taking the bundle. The mother unfolded the bundle holding up a light blue shirt with traditional patterns on it and a short pare of light tan pants. As she was examining the cloths one of the mothers who was on the other side of link looked up and spoke "we asked for these a few days ago what took them so long?" the girl merely shrugged before speaking "They said they never had to make clothing for male before and it was rather short notice." One of the mother gave an odd look "what are they talking about his clothing is almost no different from ours" she said irritated. The mother of the girl looked towards her and said "don't interrogate amber it's not her fault, besides he has clean cloths now." At this the other mother just folded her arms while the girl swiped a fruit from a platter eating it joyfully. Meanwhile vile was watching the whole thing holding back a scoff of annoyance.

The mothers who were watching link woke him to his dismay as they changed him only being kept awake by their constant movements but did not complain much to Aviles relief. As they did so the little girl amber watched the boy intently she then looked at her mother "mama why does she look different?" which case laughter amongst some the mothers nearby, and even avile who was overseeing everything smirked little at the girls naivety. Confused the girl gassed wide eyed at her mother while her mother giggled at her daughter "amber dear this is not a girl. He is a boy of course he looks a little different." She said smiling at her girl. The girl still looking confused spoke "so she in not a sister?" hearing this nearly made avile laugh at the thought, but her mother answered again "no amber he is no sister of yours" she said with not a hint rudeness "he is a special gust here" she finished. By this point link had finished being redressed and was wearing a light blue shirt and his baggy tan pants but could care less as he drifted back to his nap. The girl now merely inches apart looked at him began to smile before speaking "if he…is not a normal sister can he play?" she asked grinning ear to ear. Her mother merely shook she head "no silly he cannot play with you right now. How about we go meet your new sister instead?" she asked the girl was visibly disappointed. After a moment she nodded slightly "OH…K" looking back towards the boy before leaving with her mother and the others to let the boy sleep in peace.

A short while later all the mothers where with their children resting as the many of them woke though the night leaving all but the guards at the door who changed often little room for rest. And avile was not happy about missing sleep as even on week long patrol routs left more room for sleep. This mearly added to the list of things she hated about the boy and questions that she was seething about. Why was he here? What could he possibly do? Why does everyone care so much? What good is having him stay? What is naburoo thinking by letting him stay? Those where just a few of the questions that ate at her mind though out her stay in the nursery. She was fuming when all of a sudden she felt a tug on her pants looking down puzzled as to what could be pulling on her and to her surprise it was the hylian boy link. At seeing him she froze 'how long had he been there' though looking toward his empty bed space near the hearth. She looked down and realized that she had been so distracted by her own anger at the situation that she failed to notice him approach. Her anger all but gone at this point as gazed still shocked at the boy who was gazing at her wide eyed as though she where going to give him something. Avile looked up only to see the all the mothers resting from there long night and equally long day. Then she noted the teary eyed look on his face witch puzzled her more looking around wondering if someone struck him when she noted the bottle on the floor. Gently pulling her leg away taking a few steps twords the bottle she did not even need to pick it up to know that it was empty 'so that's what it is he's hungry. Great.' She thought scanning the room but all the mothers in this part of the nursery where sleeping, worst part was she could not risk rousing one or she risk walking them all up and she'd herd bad story's about people who woke the mothers without being a child them self. "What to do she said silently" serving the room only to feel a similar tug on her pant leg to find the boy once again clinging to her. 'can't her bother someone else' she thought bitterly as she gazed at the room in front of her then thought struck her 'all he want is food then he will leave me alone'. She gazed upon the room to looking in every corner when she seen a tray with some fruit and a lone bottle of baby potion and a thing for him to suck on it. Reluctantly picking up link to his joy she quietly carried him to the try kneeling down and grabbed the bottle a brought it and him back towards her corner of the room. Once there she set him down and handed him the bottle. He picked it up and looked at it confused before bringing it to his lips and sucked on it and avile let out a sigh of relief. But her relief was short lived when he spat the end of the bottle out and dropped it thankfully it did not break. Avile just looked at it irritated "he's rejecting his bottle" she cursed silently 'now what do I do she thought' she stared at the teary eyed boy. After a moment she pick up the bottle and practically shoved in his face to him only pushing it lightly away. She continued to stare at him irritated but keeping her cool "let's try something else" she said lightly before picking him up in one arm and holding the bottle in the other. She then put the bottle close to his face but still he ignored it "come on you had some earlier…oh what did mother do with my sister to get her to drink?" then she remembered she began to gently rock the boy side to side and he immediately began to smile and raise his arms towards her face. After a moment of this she brought the bottle back to his level and he began to drink with vigor and avile could not help but smirk at her accomplishment even if she did not like who it was for. Soon the bottle was empty and he began to doze and avile noticed "tired huh? I can relate" she said quietly" already eyeing the bed the mothers made. Walking over to it then gently placing him down in the blankest before taking a step back as she watched him fall asleep and soon he was sleeping. Satisfied avile walked back to her dark corner and put her gaze back towards the room a head hoping that soon her presence would not be necessary and she could return to the desert.
