No, I have to follow the mission

"No, Link, you should go, sorry to bug you. But please try to get back here safe and sound when your done."

I bit my lip in thought, she was right, I had a duty. I gave her a quick hug and ran inside. I knew that I didn't own any weapons, but maybe if I got my coin purse I'd be able to buy something of use.

I was quick to find my wallet and passed by saria on my way out, where we exchanged greetings. I then I set out for my next destination.

I walked across town and reached the local survival gear store. As I walked through the door I was greeted by another friend. A younger bubbly blonde girl, who sat on the roof of the store, dangling her legs off the side.

"Hiya, Link, it's great to see you again. How are you?" She almost yelled, getting way to exited over seeing me.
"I'm great, what are you doing up there by the way?"
"Um, nothin' much, just chillin'." She explained casually.

I didn't pay her alot of mind, just a chuckle and a shaking head. I entered the shoppe and approached the salesman, a short little man, who had to hop in order to see me over the counter. After a moment he grabbed a step-ladder.

"How can I help you today, Link?" He said when he was finally eye level.
"I was hoping that I could buy some weapons, I've got some buisiness in the forest." I replied.
"Sorry, Link, but with all the monsters around lately, I'm all sold out accept of course..." He hesitated "For this." he said and bent over to find a small wooden shield with a red Kokiri symbol carved in the front.
