The little forest children were every bit as adorable as she imagined they’d be. Seven years ago someone she believed to be one stumbled into Castle Town and she became attached to that one. Though, he truly wasn’t one of the forest folk. Link said that if she made it to the woods that none of them would harm her, she knew them to be benevolent beings from the old tales she heard as a little girl. He also said that rewarding him with one of the cows wasn’t necessary but she was as stubborn as a mule and a tenacious soul. After he left she began her trek to keep her promise. To Malon a promise made was a promise kept and she is more than happy to keep it.
Seeing what was once his home and meeting people that knew him made it all worth it. They were wary of her at first, she’s not only a Hylian but an adult. She truly doesn’t have any business in the rambling woods but once she’s climbed back down from Link’s house she’s gathered a few curious stares and questions. They’re a friendly lot, most reach her waist and warn her to be safe on her return. None are permitted to show her out but she doesn’t hold it against them. If they leave the forest they’ll perish.
The twigs snap beneath her worn dusty boots and she realizes getting out is going to be far more difficult than making her way in. She can scarcely see the sun between the emerald green leaves and can’t figure out which way North is. It should be easy but she lingers here and there as she collects her courage and meanders forward.
“Eh!” the skull kid’s appearance takes her by surprise and she stumbles back. She doesn’t have much with her, there’s a dagger in her boot in case she encounters a wolfos. She’ll be able to manage. “Play?” she wants to leave but she knows better than to enrage those that live within the forest. She needs to leave. “S-sure,” she manages to say cautiously. Maybe if she plays for a while they can direct her to the entrance of the woods. Or they’ll just sport with her and give her wrong directions, whatever the case may be it can’t do more harm than good.
the skull kid laughs at her STUMBLE, watching as she collects her bearings. she is loud as she passes through the woods, her boots giving away both her trek and the knowledge that she doesn’t belong here. but she agrees, she will PLAY with the skull kid at least for a bit, and they cheer as they jump to the ground in front of her, LANDING SILENTLY. excitement bounces on the ball of their feet as the smile upon their face without a face grows behind the skull mask they wear.
❛ hide and seek, hide and seek ! i’ll hide. you
have to find me. you have to be careful though,
because a wrong turn will bring you DEEPER into
these woods, hee hee hee ! and you know what
happens when THAT happens -––– well, just
look at me ! ❜
another laugh comes forth and skull kid peers up at the other, taking one step back and the mask off.
❛ you can even WATCH as i hide. i’m that GOOD
at this game ! ❜
forward again, they come closer to the hylian and tilt their head to the side.
❛ so will you play ? count to ten ! ❜
