A Young Hylian

[younghero]

Not much to see here.

Just a ten-year-old boy, dressed in a green tunic, sword and shield strapped to his back. Despite being armed, he's smiling pleasantly whenever someone makes eye-contact, and gawking at the sights like any other kid. It's obvious he has no ill-intentions.

After meandering around for a while, the boy sits down on a bench and drinks milk from a glass bottle. When he feels a little more comfortable, he asks a question.

"Have you seen a fairy around here?"

She's glad that he's taking a moment to think over her words. She would hate for him to be unpleasantly surprised by an alternate, especially at his age. "You're the first person from Hyrule that I've met." She smiles. "What's it like?"

[younghero]

Her question instantly made him brighten.

"Hyrule is amazing! It's beautiful! There's fields, mountains, forests, and a lake---there's villages and Hyrule castle---and the people are wonderful! Besides Hylians, there's the Zora, and the Gorons, and the Kokiri---it's the best. I'm going to be a Knight someday and help keep everyone safe forever."

She's starting to get a better sense of the world Link is from. "It sounds lovely." She points to his sword and shield. "Is that why you're carrying those? You're training to be a knight?"

[younghero]

"Not--not yet."

Link hesitated. "I was a hero, but, I got sent back in time, and no one remembers it but me and Navi. I carry a sword and shield because I'm a decent swordsman and I try to train people when I can."

Adia's eyes widen in surprise. She's heard a lot of stories in the Nexus, but this is the first person she's met who has been sent back in time. "That sounds hard to adjust to," she says simply, before adding, "You might find people here who'd like to be trained. There is an anti-violence field that extends around the Plaza and a few other areas, though, so no one would get hurt."
