Link waited nervously by the fountain, his eyes sweeping the surroundings with discreet attention. The Petit Marché Square, with its fountain adorned with flower beds and the colonnaded building standing majestically beside it, seemed frozen in timeless calm. Arcades housed quaint shops on the ground floor, while delicate flowers adorned the building's upper level, adding a touch of freshness to the scene.
His mind wandered, reflecting on how he had ended up in this situation. Link was rarely far from the princess, devoted to his work as a royal guard, and his fellow knights liked to jest about his fate, predicting he would end up a "confirmed bachelor." It was during one of those lively evenings at Telma's bar, a warm-hearted Gerudo with a spirited demeanor, that he had lost at a game of dice. His comrades had then challenged him to go on a blind date, and Telma, always eager for a challenge, had taken charge by arranging this meeting.
As he lost himself in his thoughts, Link noticed a woman approaching. He straightened imperceptibly, adjusting his royal guard uniform with a slight tightening. He tried to conceal his nervousness behind an awkward smile. "Oh, you must be... the person Telma told me about," he managed to say, hoping his voice wouldn't betray his embarrassment.
