Surprisingly Fado didn't scold Thian, she didn't worry over his wound, and she didn't even demand why it took so long she just fainted. Thian held her up with his good arm while Link fanned her and Saria tried to come up with something to tell her when she came to. Thian shook his head "this is all my fault" Saria shushed him "It wasn't your fault Thian, it isn't like you woke up this morning and said "I'm going to have a near death scrape with a Stalwolf"" Link snickered slightly and stopped when he received a withering look from Saria. Thian only nodded as Fado began to come to. She rubbed her forehead as Thian helped her stand "I had the strangest dream" she said "That Thian went to the Lost Woods with Link and Saria after hearing my warnings and came back with blood all over the vest and pants I made him and a bandaged shoulder." Saria laughed nervously "That's so silly Fado, I mean that of course would never happen" Saria motioned for Link and Thian to sneak out as she spoke. Thian and Link nodded and slowly made for the window. Fado smiled and nodded seemingly not noticing Link and Thian's attempt at escape "Isn't it silly" she laughed and then added coldly "Thian where do you and Link think you are going"
Thian and Link stopped dead in their tracks, and slowly turned "Umm…No where" Link said weakly, Thian nodded "Just getting some fresh air." Fado turned her expression cold as ice and full or fury Saria motioned wildly for them to run. Link stepped up "Oh that reminds me, Mido needed me to pull up all the rocks in his yard and that is quite the job alone" the hint in Link's voice was as plain as the glance he gave Thian. Thian's expression became hopeful "Oh Link allow me to help you" Link nodded quickly as Fado began walking toward them "We should hurry since Mido might be angry at us for waiting until so late in the day" Thian nodded "So let's go" and with that Link and Thian dove out the window barely avoiding Fado's grasp. They tucked and rolled and to Thian's surprise his shoulder didn't hurt. They kept running as Fado screamed after them through the window "You can't run forever, you have to eat dinner some time!!" she panted slowly and fixed her hair regaining her composure.
Saria went over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder "I know you are just worried about him, I'm sorry I put him in situations where you can't protect him" Fado suddenly wrapped her arms around Saria and began to sob into her shoulder, Saria held her comfortingly. "It just so hard Saria" Fado said between sobs "I mean they are going to leave someday, we both know they aren't true Kokiri" she sniffled "They are sure to find out when we run out of excuses as to why they don't have fairies of their own" Fado's fairy, resting on her shoulder, seemed to sadden with this as did Saria's fairy and was now on Saria's shoulder. Saria waited until she had gotten all her worries said before speaking "Fado I share all these worries, though I am ashamed to admit it, If it were my choice as to whether they stayed here forever or left on the journey the goddesses have in store for them I would keep hem here forever" Fado looked up and wiped her tears away but still sniffled "Thank you Saria, sometimes I wonder if I could make it if it weren't for you" Fado went off to fix herself up after crying and Saria sighed before going to the window and watching Thian and Link goof around in Mido's yard until Mido finally lost his patience and chased them all the way to the entrance to the grove of the Great Deku tree. Saria laughed and shook her head at least for today they still lived in the forest.
