May all of the dark deep inside you find light again

Though her day had started like any other, quiet and peaceful on the ranch, she had other plans once her chores were complete. The goats were fed, the eggs were collected from the coops and fresh feed was set out for the horses. After all of that work, it was still morning, and she had plenty of time to enjoy the rest of her day. She leaned on the fence for a moment and watched her companion, Saffron, munch on his breakfast. Selene cracked a smile. "Better enjoy that breakfast, we're going into town today." He responded with a simple stare and continued eating. She chuckled and headed inside the house to clean herself up.

Soon, Saffron was saddled and ready to go. Selene made sure to attach some baskets to his set up since she knew she would be bringing home some things from the market. Then they were off, and headed toward the main city.

It had been quite some time since she travelled to the city. Old memories of her small home and all the independent fun she had began to float to her mind. It was bittersweet, the old memories of the times before. She was a bit nervous to see anyone she might have known. When she was getting me, she did forget to write...

Selene left Saffron in a temporary pen while she made her way into town. It was lovely and bustling and just as she remembered it. There was so much ambient noise compared to the ranch. The ranch wasn't quiet, by any means, with chickens clucking about and the goats grunting as they foraged. But the sounds of the city were just... Different. There were more people, more sounds of footsteps and laughing children. It was both exciting and a bit intimidating.

Selene took a breath in, savoring the feeling of being back. A normal day, a simple time, but that could change at any moment.

The city had not changed a bit. While the world certainly plunged into a chaotic maelstrom of unyielding beasts and myriad of problems, Castle Town carried on with its usual business and trade. People of all races and creed crowd the marketplace, children frolicked across the cobblestone roads and voices shouted in hopes to get the attention of the sellers. Nova remembered it well, as it felt very much the same when she arrived at first snow. That was surely a moment she wouldn't forget, when her soft grey eyes laid upon the castle, silhouetted by the mountain range in that heavy grey sky where the sun brilliantly shone its heavenly light upon the magnificence structure.[break][break]

But there was little time to reminiscence as the days were shorter this time around. Nova walked the path, careful as she manveured past folks, towards the nearby job bulletin in the area. It was a large wooden post, shabby in design but served its purpose well for mercenaries such as herself. Although, much to her surprise, it lacked actual posts as old nails were only to be seen upon the wooden slab. Much of the caravan details were dried up, security work no longer feasible when travel had been difficult as of late. A rather unfortunate turn of luck, Nova would say, for her livelihood depended on her profession but there was little she could do or say. Fortunately, the young woman had saved in case of this problem. She just had to stretch out her budget for another month.[break][break]

Defeated, Nova decided to at least do some light shopping for herself and pick up some supplies while she was here. However, her purse tightened at the thought of spending so she had to be frugal this time around. So the young woman looked towards a small food stall and perused their wares - a combination of fruits, vegetables and cheese. Luckily, there wasn't anyone to crowd her for everyone seemed more interested in baubles and trinkets. "Hello." She greeted the farmer. "You must have had a good harvest. Everything looks so fresh."

Not much had changed in her time away, and yet she still found herself gawking at everything as if it were her first time in the big city. There were many vendors, some selling tools and others selling homemade trinkets and even food. She could spend all day staring at the homemade goods and wishing she could buy everything, but she had come here on a mission. That didn't mean she didn't slow her pace to stare in awe, at least sometimes, though~

Selene pushed her way through the crowds and stumbled upon a small and unassuming vendor. It wasn't as busy as the others, and seemed to have a few of the items she could check off her list. She noticed another woman there, who commented on the freshness of the produce. Now she was intrigued, so she had to take a look for herself. By sight alone, she could tell the woman was right. "Oh wow, it does look fresh," she agreed, bending slightly to take a whiff of the cheese in the cart. "I bet this would be delicious melted into a soup." Selene smiled at Nova. She was feeling rather plucky today, and maybe even itched for a conversation, but most people in the market were here to come and go. She would understand if the woman bought her goods, turned on her heel and left.

Nova practically rose off the ground with the thought of soup, her thoughts of a warm hearth and comfy blankets had suddenly come rushing back when Vera, a dairy farmer had took care of Nova during her recovery. "That sounds delicious! A side of oven-baked bread and rice. Hmmm." She couldn't help but place a hand upon her tummy, captivated by her own vision of a small feast. Little did people know, Nova was quite a glutton when it came to food as Josh would attest to that during their costly reunion at Holdren's Place, a small tavern not far from where they stood. Thankfully, Vera picked up the tab. Nova should definitely get back to the kind woman some day.[break][break]

The vendor smiled at the women and cleared his throat. "Please, take yer time. If you need anything, jus' holler." The farmer then moved about behind his stall as refilled this produce boxes. The light-haired sellsword nodded, the twinkle still prevalent upon her smile. She plucked a few things from the stall, namely the cheese. "Thank the Goddesses you were here. I wasn't sure what to get and was about to just buy everything. Now, I can't get my mind of that soup. It should be easy to make, right?" Nova raised the cheese up in examination and admiration, uncertain of its qualities other than its soft texture and distinct scent. "Sorry if I'm taking up all the space. I'm not great when it comes to shopping. Heheh." She nervously chuckled, slightly embarrassed by her sudden behavior at the mention of food. Of course, she hadn't looked upon the woman who stood at the food-stall with her, still enthralled by the choices laid out upon the slanted counter.

Pleased that she hadn't come off as creepy, or that her comment was unwelcome, Selene smiled at the other girl's reaction to her suggestion, and continued on with the thought. "Don't forget fresh butter to top the bread. And you can't have a great meal without a great drink." She personally didn't drink much alcohol, but she knew of some vendors that sold fresh juices and even some cider. "Apples are plentiful right now, you should pair it with some fresh cider."

What a pair of foodies! During her stay at home, before her mother grew too sick to move, she had taught Selene some of her recipes and tips and tricks. It made her smile softly, thinking back to those memories, and now she could spread her knowledge of good food and even help to make it. But ah! That's right! Selene was here to also pick up a few bits of produce.

"Well, I'm glad you didn't take everything. I do need a few items for myself~" she chirped as she reached for some button mushrooms. A satchel full of Hylian wild rice was then scooped, and she also plucked a few carrots into her pouch. She glanced over to Nova, who seemed to be admiring the wheel of cheese. Selene chuckled and looked back to the vegetables. Her lips pursed lightly in thought.

"A cheese soup would be easy enough to make... But take it a step further and add some potatoes. It will be more like a chowder then. Add some fresh cream and it will add to the richness." It was hard to resist buying more ingredients for that... But she had her heart set on a recipe already, so she stood firm! "Don't forget to season, as well. Have you any garlic? Or salt?"

With the amount of ingredients the woman suggested, this made Nova's head swirl with the desire to try it all. However, there a slight matter in cost and storage. She didn't have a kitchen space for such preparations nor the cabinets to put away all the spices and food. In fact, her living quarters was just that - a small room to sleep. The sellsword had taken up residence at an inn just a couple buildings down from Holdren's Place named Featherlight Inn, famous for their ultra-soft beds that granted a full night's rest. Perhaps that was just advertisement talk, since she recalled a night she didn't feel properly rested. Of course, that very night being the dream she returned to the ancient tree. But, she digressed, for the inn did have a full-established kitchen but only staff had the privilege for its use so Nova had no say on what was on the menu. Her dreams on a full feast were dashed, having been riled up by the thought of cheese soup that she completely forgot about her living situation. Snacks were the only option at this point.[break][break]

"I, uh, don't think my current accommodations would suffice. Hehe. Oh, I feel foolish." Her nervous chuckle returned, albeit with a hint of disappointment. She placed the cheese back into its place then eyed some apples. By the Goddesses, she couldn't believe herself sometimes, for she was close to buying a little bit of everything. Nova wished her stomach didn't get the best of her sometimes. "But I will keep that recipe in mind! I don't think I'll be forgetting it anytime soon." Despite her small bout of sadness, her smile broke through the disappointment. "Sorry. I've been neglectful of my manners of late. I'm Nova Arondale, nice to meet you." The young mercenary held out a hand to the woman.[break][break]

Then, a certain feeling crept up from the back of her mind when she faced the person. A certain air of familiarity, one that whispered into Nova's ear. Was there something that spoke importance to her? It was the same sensation she felt at the lonely gravestone at the grove when she first met Vlad. Curiouser and curiouser.

There was a time not too long ago that Selene had been in Nova's shoes. Living in an apartment entirely too small to house all of one's belongings and tools for hobbies. It was a place she merely slept in, which was fine at the time since her cooking skills were sub par. It would be impossible to live like that now. Selene simply smiled softly, not knowing her living situation, but could guess that it might have been similar to her past. "Well, maybe next time, then."

Selene took the girl's hand and returned the greeting. "I'm Selene Merrows," she bowed her head to add to her introduction. After freeing her hand, she slipped it into her pocket to produce her rupee pouch. She slipped a few rupees over to the vendor after obtaining some mushrooms and the rice. "Maybe you could find the dish somewhere in town," she suggested, turning back to face the grey-eyed girl. "It might not be exactly the same recipe, but it would have the same cozy feel."

"I think that's what won me over in the first place." Nova chuckled a bit, placing some of the apples she eyed into a small sack and gave some rupees to the vendor as well. It has been awhile since she spoke with someone in the city, which often was hard to get a word in with anyone. It was nice and the weather held up decently to shop a little while longer. "With a place this huge, I'm certain I will. This place has much to offer and I was thinking of doing a bit more browsing. You never know what sort of deal awaits." That much was true. The young mercenary had struck quite a bargain with a blacksmith some days ago, when her job still had some breath to it. She also got to know the girl a bit more as they traded a few words. Times like these were worth the trip.

"Have you seen magic rings before? They look absolutely brilliant." She chirped, a pep to her step as she waved the vendor goodbye. "There's also this shop I see that has lots of cats just sitting around. Dogs too." Nova took a moment to put her small sack of apples into her adventurer's pouch, which at this point rather came in handy. She liked to travel light since her great-sword often weighed her down in most instances. Of course, with the amount of training she does on her own, it won't be long until she'll feel comfortable with it. "I like to sit at the outside patio and watch them after I check the jobs posting. They make me feel a little bit better, especially when the jobs have run dry lately."

It was true, there were so many things that the city held. Not even just places to eat, but also the kinds of shops and wares that were sold! Imported goods from all over the world could be purchased here. Special linens from Labrynna... Rare fruits from Holodrum. Milk and cheese from the Terminan cattle. It was all here, right in their reach. Maybe Selene felt a bit more proud to have come to Hyrule, after all.

Speaking of different wares to get, Nova had questioned her about magic rings. This immediately caught her interest, and she shook her head. "Can't say I've heard of them. What do they do? Can you simply... buy one?" Selene kept a fair distance from the girl as they walked, not too close to be uncomfortable but close enough to know they were at least walking together. Her smile grew a bit wider as Nova mentioned all the animals around town. "Oh, yes, I'm familiar with the cats and dogs," she chuckled. "When I lived in town, I'd often stop by on my evening walks to play with the kittens." The job board was something she was familiar with as well, but Nova's mention of it being rather empty these days made her frown. She knew a lot of people relied on those odd jobs to get by, and it seemed Nova was one of those people. "That's a shame..." she sighed. "I've heard that lots of monsters have been lurking lately. Maybe people are just too scared to even try to travel.

She heard the reasons and the fact that Selene brought up one of them reaffirmed such suspicions. Monsters roamed the land without care and caused more than enough headaches for everyone. Travelers and merchants were often subjected to the attacks, which led to less business within the city despite its booming nature. You just had to look hard enough to see the waning numbers of local goods from farmers and alike, for expenses were scarce and leave little to acquire protection during their routes. Then again, the sheer number of mercenaries had also declined, as all had suddenly disappeared altogether. Nova often wondered if they scampered off in the night, unable to carry on such dangerous work. She knew a few managed to get by like herself but it could only be for so long until things became dire. "Mmhmm. The monster population was quite manageable last week. Now, their numbers had swell so much that even one hired hand isn't enough. Honestly, its made me rethink about things... End my business as a mercenary and take up a stable position. Perhaps the military."

Of course, Nova had thought extensively about it. Her experience could prove useful to Hyrule and by extension, to the people that hired her from time to time. It wouldn't be much of a change when it came the monsters but everything else required some adjustments like life at the barracks or menial duties such as patrol. That wouldn't be a problem at all. However, it was a big decision Nova wanted to think more about. Although this wasn't the time to ponder - the young woman had company and she didn't want her to feel the awkward sting of silence.

"I believe things will get better. There's a lot of people putting their lives on the line to ensure it."

Her path sounded similar to someone else's she knew. It was an honorable thing, to want to fight and protect one's home. Yet Selene didn't quite feel that way about Hyrule yet. She was still pretty homesick for Termina, even though the chances of her ever living there again were slim to none. Yet Selene smiled, and nodded her head.

"It's good to fight for the protection of others. I prefer to remain... Unaligned, I guess. Independent. I do it because I want to help. I'm not sure if I could get used to someone barking orders at me." Selene blushed softly. She was too tender-hearted to get yelled at. It'd probably make her flustered in the heat of battle. It just... Wasn't how she trained.

"Yeah. I'm not one for orders myself. Hehe." The young sellsword chuckled to herself, careful not sound aloof to Selene. Nova understood what she felt, especially when your place isn't exactly set in stone. In fact, having been washed up on the shores of Hyrule just proved how chaotic the path before you is laid and even that isn't very clear. It was very much a labyrinth, one that she often wandered too far in and somehow ended in the wildest moments of her life. She managed to meet Josh one again and even came across a person who shared the same home and sentiments of Ikana Valley. The lass wouldn't say it was mere chance, but rather a unique guidance. That's what it felt like to Nova - a guiding hand that wasn't too firm but there just enough to get where she was now.

"Apologies. I have a terrible habit to speak about work. It puts off the other mercenaries at the inn, which is rather odd. I assumed most would speak of their daily triumphs or quandaries but I suppose the atmosphere has been rather somberly as of late." Nova sighed, thoughts in a flurry as their walk came close to the shop that cute animals that roamed about. She walked towards the front view and peered through the glass, seeing several kittens play about. "Oh! This place is the absolute best. My friend Vera supplies milk here for the animals and patrons. They sell a unique batch of Chateau Romani - a mild taste with a bit of sweetness added. I tried to ask about its recipe but the servers said its a secret." The young girl practically planted her face against the window before she turned to Selene. "Would you like to try some? The shop owners know me and I think I can get you one on me." She had the brightest smile on her, for it was obvious this shop brought her great happiness.

"We can pet the kittens!"

Being so lost in conversation and her own thoughts, Selene hadn't realized their direction had changed until Nova announced they were close to a new locale. Selene's eyes grew wide, and she beamed. "Chateau Romani? Reminds me of home!" she chuckled, quite excited to hear something she actually could recognize. So Romani Ranch's goods spread all the way to Hyrule? It was a relieving feeling. She could experience some of her home without actually going back.

Normally Selene wasn't much of a drinker, but she couldn't pass up some free Chateau Romani. With a nod, Selene mimicked Nova's excitement; though truth be told her excitement was also genuine! It grew even more when Nova mentioned kitties! "Yes!" she squealed, "I always want to pet kittens." Selene chuckled. "Let's go see them~!"

It was decided and Nova couldn't hold back on today. She was the first near the front door, but held it open for her before she would follow. It was rare to spend time with someone, especially for Nova since most of trips around the city had been lonesome. Of course, that never really bothered her since she knew most of the merchants she dealt with and naturally, the owner of the shop they entered. Vera, her friend, had introduced them some time ago and it has been good business for both. Bertrand was the owner and his family ran the place, consisting of his son and daughter, Roma and Nia. The Cateau Soiree is their pride and joy.

"Chateau Romani? Reminds me of home!"

Nova picked up on this and simply smiled. "Ah, another person from Termina. It seems I have been meeting people from home lately. What part of the land do you hail from?" The mercenary was naturally interested for it wasn't common to find people from home. Sure, the amount of goods has been steady but the trip across the sea often held back most travelers from home, namely for the reason of Hyrule's current turmoil with steadily growing monster population as of late. Thankfully, Nova had came well before that and awhile most of it was a blur, she was glad she survived. Bertrand saw the two ladies enter his place and he waved over to Nova.

"Yo, Miss Arondale. You're here earlier than expected. Not much on the ol' bulletin, I'm guessin'?" The man had a pretty gruff voice, but kept himself well-groomed, including his mustache. Nova sheepishly nodded, suddenly reminded that her job was on the brink. "Heheh, yes. It's been an unfortunate turn but I will try again tomorrow." Bertrand understood then looked over to Selene. "Oh! I see you have brought along a friend. Welcome, miss, to the Cateau Soiree - the only location in Hyrule City that serves the best Romani Ranch has to offer, along with our best local farms such as Vera's Choice, Hollydale, and Manth's Grove. Please feel free to pet the kittens... although they're quite lazy right now. My son Roma just fed them."

"I haven't heard that welcoming in a while." Nova snickered, motioning Selene to take a seat at the table near the full window display. A chubby tabby lies comfortably on the plush cushion near the table. "I should bring you more customers."

"And I'd be very grateful. So the usual for you and for...?"

"She'll have the same. My treat!"

To hear another speak of home made Selene's heart soar! And yet it pained her in ways she thought she had gotten over. Nevertheless, no matter what twinge of heartache she felt, she kept smiling. "I lived in Clock Town. Resident mailwoman, at your service!" She chuckled, then tilted her head toward the girl. "But you didn't live there, did you? I knew most, if not everyone that lived there."

They soon approached the tavern and Selene's eyes lit up when she saw the kittens, most with full little bellies and plopped over on various cushions. She looked over to the barkeep and his wife as Nova made introductions. With a nod of her head, Selene replied, "It's nice to meet you!"

[break][break]

She couldn't keep away from the kittens for long. Nova and the owners exchanged conversation while Selene tiptoed over to a sleepy kitten. She scooped a little ginger cat into her arms and scratched under it's little chin as she felt the soothing rumble of its purr against her chest. Selene turned in time to notice Nova motioning for a table, and so she sat down with both her new friends and continued to love on the sleepy kitten.

[break][break]

"Thank you for showing me this place," she smiled, "and for the first round!"
