Chapter 16: Rooming With Yetis

Sally looked towards me. "So…you actually trust him?" She pointed at Yeto.

"Absolutely." I replied.

"Let us have soup!" Yeto shouted randomly. "I make soup with pumpkin!"

"I'm alright." Sally began. "I don't want any—"

"I insist! Lady have yummy soup!" He grabbed her hand. "Soup is good for you!" He grinned widely.

"Can you let go of me, please?!" She said despairingly.

He didn't let go. "Umm…Yeto? Yeto!" I yelled.

He jumped after letting go of her hand. "What?"

"Really…don't make her eat the soup…" I sighed. "She'll eat it if she wants."

"Right." Yeto sighed in agreement. He turned towards me, a glimmer of hope upon his face. "…Does Link want soup?"

I slapped my face. "You're missing the point." My stomach growled and I laid my hand on it while blushing out of embarrassment.

"Link is hungry!" Yeto shouted. "Link have soup!"

I gave in. "Alright." Yeto and I sat at the kitchen table while Sally remained sitting by the fire. We began to eat the soup, him quickly and me slowly.

He leaned towards me and began to whisper. "Sally lady very pretty, uh?"

"Shut up." I mumbled as I began to redden.

"Admit it." He chuckled softly. "Link like Sally lady!" He puckered his lips out of jest.

"Shut up!" I yelled.

I covered my mouth, but it was too late. Sally jumped and quickly turned around upon hearing my voice escalate. "What's wrong?" She questioned, her brow arched in confusion.

"Link has something to tell Sally lady!" Yeto broke in.

"Okay." Sally said as she looked at me.

I blushed as I smiled nervously. I raised my palm in greeting. "Good morning. How did you sleep?"

Yeto laughed as Sally rolled her eyes, turning her attention to the fire again. "Burn!" He exclaimed quietly.

"Remember, this is all YOUR fault!" I hissed.

"What are you two fussing about?" Sally asked nonchalantly, still staring at the fire.

"Nothing…" I replied. "Yeto just needs to close his mouth." I glared at him.

"Link need be honest, not so shy, uh!" Yeto countered.

"What's this all about?" She questioned.

"Link is very shy!" Yeto laughed.

I covered his mouth. "He has no clue what he's talking about!" I blushed.

"Didn't you just tell me that you know him very well?" She put her hands on her hips.

"Yes." I replied calmly.

"Then that doesn't make any sense." She said while shaking her head.

"Yes it does!" I shouted suddenly.

She put both hands up apologetically, but coming from her I knew it was in sarcasm. "Whoa, okay! You don't have to yell about it!"

Yeto laughed, and I glared at him in return as I stood up, crossing my arms out of annoyance. "Quit laughing!" I shouted at him.

"What?" He asked casually. "Yeto can't have fun?"

"No. Yeto can't have fun." I huffed while rolling my eyes.

Yeto pouted. "That makes me sad, Link!"

"Don't be mean to him!" Sally countered. "He's done nothing wrong!"

I looked at her and took a step towards her. "Wait a second! Just a minute ago you thought he was going to kill you! Why side with him?!"

"He didn't invade my personal space!" She rolled her eyes and then walked over to me. She was now within a couple of feet of me. "But you don't know of such courtesy!" she poked me in the chest with her finger. I rubbed my chest and then tried to gently push her out of my way. She stared at me in shock at my gesture, batting my hand away from hers. "Excuse me? Why are you trying to push me!?" She took another defiant step towards me.

I bit my lip. "Please don't kill me!" I put my hands up to protect myself. This time I was scared.

She formed a fist with her right hand. "Stop!" Yeto screeched. "Sally lady not be so furious! Calm is good! Calm Sally!"

She grabbed my shirt collar with her left hand, her right hand still balled up into a fist. "Give me ONE good reason why I shouldn't give you the whooping of a century?!"

"I…" I hesitated. "I…I really…" I blushed and cleared my throat. "I'm really handsome! You don't want to ruin my gorgeous face!" I mentally slapped myself in the face. Really, Link? That's what you came up with?!

She scoffed. "Well, aren't you self-centered!" she squeezed her fist tightly, her nails digging into her palm. She gritted her teeth out of pure anger…anger aimed towards me!

"Please, Sally lady!" Yeto shouted. "Calm down!"

Yeta came out into the living room. "Sally! Listen to Yeto, uh! Link save you! Save your life! Link good man, uh!"

She looked at me as I shut my eyes, preparing to be punched in the face. Her grip on my shirt collar loosened, her face painted with shame. Her other hand no longer formed a fist, but was flat and relaxed. "I…I'm really sorry, Link…" She let go of me. "I've been an idiot. I should have shown more appreciation for what you've done for me, rather than being an ungrateful jerk…" She slowly walked over to the couch and sat down, staring blankly at the fire.

"It's alright, Sally." I replied to empty air. Yeto and Yeta didn't say a word. "I understand why you reacted the way you did."

"I appreciate your understanding, but it still is no excuse for me to be so rude to you." She looked down towards the floor. "I almost hurt you for no good reason…"

"Don't be so hard on yourself." I said calmly. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Yeto and Yeta were beginning to leave the room. I turned towards them.

"We will leave for a while." Yeto said. I nodded as he and Yeta left the room.

"You're right." Sally sighed, resting her hands on her lap. "…I just…I feel so emotionally drained right now…"

"As expected." I answered. She looked at me with peculiarity as I sat down on the couch next to her. "You just lost someone very important to you…that's a lot to take in."

She looked at me, but didn't say a word. She blinked twice as if trying to blink away tears and looked towards the fire again.

"I lost both my mother and father at a very young age…" I said to her, "…I was really depressed as a kid because of it…" I chuckled. "I think it kind of explains my shyness towards people I don't know well…"

I looked at her as she looked towards me, a tear trailing down her left cheek. She proceeded to wipe it away with the back of her hand. "I'm sorry…"

"Don't be." I said in return.

She looked down at her hands that rested on her lap and her eyes widened, as if she was having an epiphany. She looked towards me with an expression that would make even the coldest of hearts mend. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She looked away and took a deep breath and then looked at me again. "Thank you for saving my life…" Her mouth quivered. "I should have been more—" She stopped herself to wipe away more tears that were falling down her cheeks. "…I should have been more grateful…"

"Don't worry about it; you're going through a lot right now." I said as I patted her on the back for reassurance.

The teardrops were coming down her cheeks more frequently, until it was finally a steady flow of tears streaking down her face. She shut her eyes and frowned deeply. She opened her mouth and began to sob, so I grabbed my hat and offered it to her. She grasped it in her hand for only a moment, laying it down on her lap as she grabbed my arm, dug her face into my shoulder and cried. I went red in the face, not expecting this at all. Her body shook as she let it all out. "Thank you again, Link…" She muffled into my shoulder. She raised her head and looked at me. "You've done a lot for me…"

"You're welcome." I smiled sheepishly.

She patted me on the back. "You're a really good friend to me, Link." She smiled.

"You're a really good friend to me too, Sally." I grinned in return.

She looked back on her lap and noticed my hat still lying there. "Oh!" She gasped. She grabbed it and placed it on my head. The end fell on my face and she laughed as I tried to blow it back up with my mouth. It fell back on my face and we both chuckled.
