Link unhitched Epona, however he now had to wait for the return of his friends. So the young man wandered into the tavern deciding to pick food for the trip. The bartender was friendly young women, she'd been here during the harvest festival a few months back when all the boys and girls for his village brought the goods in to town to sell. Link had hoped she wouldn't recognize him, but she did. "Awww look it's the little grass hopper from last Fall!" 

The Farm boy blushed at that name. "Please, I just need some food for my trip, water skins, dried fruits, and the like." He really hoped she'd forgotten the incident that had earned him that nickname.

The waitress just smiled and turned back collecting the things he'd asked for. "So I see your all dressed like a hero. You in a play or something? Or just win a few girls hearts." She spoke slyly as if the young boy was some kind of heart breaker or something.

Link, for the love of Nayru managed to turn even redder. "No, village tradition I was delivering my village's tribute to the king. I'm taking a detour on the way home I need the extra rations, I thought i might visit the lake or go up to the falls." He explained.

The waitress pouted some. "Your not gonna stay in town, darn you and your friends really livened this place up last autumn. Still I can't expect you to just stay here because I want your rupee's." She put everything in bag and then placed a bottle of Lon-Lon milk on the table for him. "The milk and the bottle are free, I know a farm boy like you can barely afford water here." She took a handful of rupee's from Link. "Goodbye Grasshopper." Link turned and walked out of the tavern and back over Epona, she had been tied up along side a couple of other horse's. He placed the pack on her side then looked back over.

The hero slowly walked down the street doing his best to look for Zelda and Ciela. He managed to find Zelda back by the cart. "Any luck finding our wayward friend?" He asked the disguised girl. "I got supplies for the trip, once we have Ciela we can leave, I saw they were letting farmers out the main gate. We can get out pretty easily." He told Zelda as he spotted an empty of crowds he ducked into it. "Over here we can talk without getting stuck between the crowds." As turned and looked into the alley he saw the Happy Mask Salesman, he knew the man from reputation alone. 

His masks quite popular in the villages where legends about heroes ran rampant. Ciela was their beside him, Link waved to her then looked back towards the disguised princess. "I found her, back here in the alley!" 

He told Zelda as he looked over at Ciela. "I've Epona ready, when can get going now." He said looking between the two people before him.
