A/N: Again, big thanks to alwaysingirl for her review. Yep, Impa comes in quite a bit later on in the story. I'm actually writing this spontaneously, so I don't have time to come up with good plot points :P

Chapter 8 - Hunger

'This building right here is the Potion Shop,' Daisy thrust out her hand in the direction of the building, almost hitting Zelda's face in the process. 'Need any medicine, here's the place. Actually...'

Zelda looked at Daisy as she hesitated.

'...Do you have any money at all, dear?'

Now that she mentioned it, Zelda had forgotten to take any money with her, the situation at the time making her forget.

'No...'

Daisy dug in her satchel and got out an orange rupee.

'What? Oh, there's no need for that. Especially this much,' Zelda whispered as Daisy slapped the huge value rupee in her hand. The spectacular laugh sounded again.

'Of course not, dear. I've got loads more, you know.'

Zelda thrust it back at her.

'I insist you take it back. Come on, I mean... 100 rupees? What am I going to spend that on?'

'Well, red potions are 20 rupees each. I'm guessing you're going to need a lot of them while you recover from those injuries.'

Zelda grimaced as she remembered the scar. It didn't hurt as much, but she daren't take the bandages off, breaking her vow. She shoved the rupee into her pocket.

'Thank you.'

'Okay. I think you've seen enough of the potion shop. Wanna see the windmill?' Daisy asked.

Zelda smiled up at her and nodded. At least she had someone as nice as Daisy to show her around.

XxX

'And that is, in a nutshell, Kakariko.'

Daisy came to a stop outside the care house they had started from.

'Where shall I stay?' Zelda said. She felt she had asked of Daisy enough already, after she gave her 100 rupees.

'That's the good part. You remember the room you woke up in?'

Zelda nodded.

'That's the room!'

Zelda tried her to hide her grimace under her smile. Now she'd have to wake up and be reminded of that day, which she wanted to forget.

'That's... fantastic!'

Daisy's face fell a bit.

'Do you mind?'

Zelda hurriedly tried to make light, 'No, no! It's brilliant. Thank you so much Daisy.'

Daisy's face lit up yet again. She must have been a really cheerful person to get back to normal that quickly.

'Excellent, excellent! We must get you some food. You must be starving!'

And with that, she flew back into the care house, leaving Zelda shaking her head in disbelief.

XxX

'Here we are!' Daisy sang, holding a huge platter with a lid.

Zelda sat at the other end of the table, staring at the platter as Daisy set it down carefully on the table. It was outrageously big, like a caricature of a decent sized meal. When Daisy lifted the lid to show a giant goose, Zelda's jaw almost dropped.

'Ta-da!'

Zelda didn't really know what to say, literally.

'I...I,' she stammered.

'It's okay. Anything you don't finish, just give it to me,' Daisy smiled.

Zelda nodded. She was indeed very hungry, so she couldn't wait to begin. Daisy must have sensed her anticipation, for she began to carve the goose expertly, dumping a large piece onto Zelda's plate. Zelda wasted no time in sticking the cutlery into the meat.

'So, you are hungry,' Daisy laughed.

Zelda nodded, not taking her eyes of the meat. There was silence, and the only sound heard was Zelda's chewing. She could get used to this.

A/N: Sorry about the slightly rushed end, we had friends over. :P
