There was a bit of unease as the saw began to go back and forth upon the metal. Despite this Link attempted to keep as still as he could he certainly didn’t wish for the guard to accidentally cut him. It wouldn’t be the worse thing and he doubted it would be that deep should such a thing happen. He had likely had many worse things with the many encounters with various creatures and their various weapons. As it was the guard seemed to give up on the idea of working with the saw and as told he stayed put where he was.
In all reality the hero didn’t have too much hope the chain would come off it hadn’t so far, but the guard seemed quite determined. And he hadn’t really had anyone dare get close enough to attempt something. Well, other than Midna but she hadn’t really been trying to get the entire thing off, at the time, finding her to be quite dislikeable.
The awkwardness the guard displayed as he produced another tool, seeming as if he was trying to figure it out, did not make him feel comfortable about this idea. Even going as far as standing for a brief moment watching him intently. As the guard comes back to the position he had once been in Link attempts to not be overly concerned sitting back down as his paw is picked up once more. His focus much more intent and doing everything to remain as still as possible. The last thing he wants is for his actions to startle the guard while he’s using something he doesn’t seem familiar with. But he will give him some credit, after all, hadn’t he used items he didn’t know how to use before? The awkwardness of it at the beginning but often they were simple enough to understand.
Surprise was the first thing that etched upon the wolf his eyes widening even his mouth parting as the iron shackle comes off. His head bends toward the now free wrist and even that of the shackle that landed upon the floor. He looks up at the guard after a few moments in a grateful manner. Though, he isn’t sure how to express that exactly as a human he would have spoken his thanks. Of course, he knew most dogs he would lick humans in a show of gratitude or happiness, even excitement. He knew this well from the few dogs back in Ordon namely Malo and Talo’s pup, but there were those here Castle Town he had befriended who acted in a similar manner. So, in a dog-like manner he put a bit more pressure upon the man’s leg giving him a bit of leverage as he licked his cheek. The action did feel a bit odd as he was simply a human in wolf form even so he knew it would get his point across. He was grateful to the man.
He exhales with relief at the freedom he’s granted this wolf, pushing the clippers away and sitting back on his heels. He can’t help a soft laugh at the surprise on the beast’s face, and a quick inspection proves that while the chain did chafe away some fur, at least it’s not a deep wound.
Landon blinks as the dog stands on his leg to reach his cheek, a slobbered tongue almost hesitant against his skin.
“I’m willin’ to bet you ain’t a wild wolf!”
He laughs again, cupping the beast’s giant head between his hands. He places a kiss between those eyes before ruffling his hair, rubbing to scratch at those ears with an almost childish grin on his face. There are stray dogs around Castle Town that love affection, but he’s never been out of sight from his peers to actually shower them with the affection he wants to.
“Hey, you wanna get some lunch? The deli’s open by now, I’m sure!”
He has enough rupees to splurge on a hamsteak for this guy. He deserves it, really. Knowing to come to Castle Town to get help... What a smart wolf! And if he can prove this wolf to be friendly, maybe he could even have him as a partner!
He stands up, dusting himself off before he peeks through the open gaps between the slatted windows. His peers don’t really seem to care about their missing fellow, which just makes it easier to slip out to get him some food.
“Can you stay here? I’ll bring you some food and water!”
