Cindy stared at Link, dumbstruck in disbelief. She didn’t even hear Navi talking, not that what the fairy was saying would have made much sense to her anyway. “What?! You mean he-…” she stopped herself before finishing that statement, glancing up at her sister within earshot as she soaks up the rays on the shop’s awning. The middle ginger grabbed Link by the collar and dragged him to the side of the shop with her so that they wouldn’t be heard by her elder sibling.<br/><br/>Cindy continued, only know her voice was as low as a whisper, “Are you tell me that Keep actually….likes me??” It wasn’t a tone that showed disgust or distaste. On the contrary, she was elated. “I had no idea! He always has this grumpy face, I assumed he just didn’t like anybody, me included. I mean, if he were to like anybody, my sisters made sense. Sandy is so flirty, and Mindy is so cute, it’s so easy for anybody to fall for them. But me? I’m just the middle one. The only thing special about me is that I’m most likely to make trouble for others.”<br/><br/>She sighed, laying all of her feelings out to Link, feeling the sudden urge to share now that this new bit of info had come to light. “In truth, I really like Keep, too. He’s just so…different from the rest of the Kokiri, you know? I don’t know what it is. I can’t quite place my finger on it, but every time I see him, I feel like there’s butterflies in my tummy. That’s why I’m always spending so much time in his store, hoping that one day he’ll see me as more than just some customer, you know?” She shrugged, smiling bashfully at the prospect of being with the gnomish-man. “Just, don’t let my sisters know that I like him, ok? I know how the rest of the Kokiri feel about him, and I don’t want them to make fun of me or tease me for it. I hate already how<i>he’s</i>always teased.”<br/><br/>She then stood there and thought for a moment, tapping a finger to a chin. “Alright, I’ll meet with him. But you have to promise me that you never tell my sisters how I feel about him, okay?” She offered a hand to him to shake for the deal. “Whatever ideas he’s got for a game, I wish you much luck in convincing my sisters. Just, don’t use me as leverage. It will backfire on both you and me.”
