Chef Lonk

Zelda loved listening to Link cook.

With the sweet, warm spring weather, he'd taken to using the cookpot outside more often than not.   Then he'd built a firepit.  Then he’d surprised Zelda with a sudden desire to visit Goron City for a few days (“It’ll be fun!  The Gorons love the warmer weather!” “Link, for goodness’ sake—it’s hot up there even in the depths of winter.” “Come onnn. Yunobo’d love to see you."  “Yunobo is terribly intimidated by me.” “Eh, he’s intimidated by everyone.”  “You don’t seem to frighten him.”  “True.  Huh.  That’s weird.”  “It’s not weird at all, Link.  You have a way with people.”  “Maybe he just thinks I have mind powers.”  “I doubt it.”  “Ooh.  Maybe he feels bad for me because he thinks I think I have mind powers.”  “…That… seems more likely, now you say it.”  “Great!  When do we leave?”  “Link, I’m in the middle of documenting the life cycle of these irksome ricemeal moths-“  “Yeah, I know.  Jerks.  Quit eating our stuff!  Hey, do slugs eat moths?”  “They don’t hunt.”  “Aw.  Oh—maybe we shouldn’t go.”  “That was sudden.”  “Our slugs’ll be having slug babies soon, won’t they?  They need us!” “Heh.  Link, they’ll be fine for a few days in their terrarium.  They need plenty of water and food available.  The moss will help retain the moisture.”  “Cool.  So, we can go, then!”  “Ah- oh…”).
