Well, at least the knife was back, and the blacksmith believed her. But wantonly aggressive? Never. Ekra barely even knew the meaning of the first word, but she sure didn't see how it was aggressive going after something that she wasn't even sure wasn't going to attack. That just seemed normal to her, pin them down and then figure out what was going on. His next words were... significantly more interesting. She tilted her head. "A friend? Is he a shadow too? Are you both from Hyrule then? Who's 'everyone'?" Barely a pause between questions for even air, and even those questions were fleeting when the person about her size arrived and addressed the shadowy figure.

"Hiya! You know him? Are you the friend he mentioned?" She quickly closed the gap between them, mask still obscuring her face. "Who are you? Probably not the fairy, but you have to be someone, right?" Skin was a bit dark for a Kokori and maybe for a Hylian too? But she looked like a Hylian otherwise!
