hero of time.

"'Cause we serve alcohol." Did he even know what that was? She shook her head. "Adult drinks. Not meant fer kids."

Damn. What was she going to do with this kid? She'd feel bad if she turned him out.

"Al-go-hawl?"

He looked up at Navi, who was now inspecting the bottles behind the counter, her little fairy wings silently beating. She turned to meet his gaze, giving him an 'I told you so' look.

"I didn't come here to drink that," Link said as if to prove that he wasn't about to misbehave. Anyway, it was the truth. He'd just been curious, and his question was... sort of answered.

"But do you have any drinks for kids then?" A man delivering milk in a wagon had given him a ride into town, but that had been ages ago when the sun was still up. He hadn't drank anything since, not even when he ate at the food stall.

"It'll cost rupees, remember?" Navi's high-pitched voice cut through as she floated back to perch on his shoulder. Oh. Right. He needed to pay for things. Link looked back at the tall lady (why was she so tall?) and shook his head.

"Welcome in," Meiko intoned, hearing the doors open. It had been a slow night, but that wasn't too bad. Better than it just being her and that damned creepy Mask Salesman from down the road.

Unless this was that weird fuck strolling in--

She glanced up from the glasses she had been cleaning for the last quarter hour, only to stop and stare.

The lady startled him. Not because she was loud or did anything wrong, but because she was so tall! Link could only stare at her, mouth forming a silent exclamation of surprise. Navi had caught up to him before the door swung closed and landed on his hat. He could feel her annoyance radiating through the material.

"I don't have parents," he said simply. The Deku Tree had been like his father, just like he was to all the Kokiri, but he didn't have him now either. He drew his attention away from the big lady for a few seconds just to look around the new building. Nothing stood out to him, really, so he made his way over to the counter and pulled himself up into a stool. Little legs kicked out automatically, his boots looking far too big for him.
