Link tries to find him, but gets distracted talking to men.

With one last look in the mirror to straighten his new hair and old clothes, Link left Anju's house and headed forward, towards the graveyard. He spent the better part of a few hours searching the dirty place, but he couldn't find hide nor hair of the Mask Salesman who was the cause of this curse. Exhausted and sweaty from the search, Link returned to the village proper and sat on the edge of the well, taking a second to catch his breath.

"Hello, there," said a man's voice from behind Link. The Hero of Time looked around to see one of the carpenter's men who had catcalled him yesterday, and Link blushed a little at the memory. "You're new in town, right?"

That struck Link as interesting. However he had changed in the night, he didn't look exactly like whoever they saw him as yesterday. Did that mean he had more changes in the future? The thought both terrified and excited him. "Um, yes," Link replied in a higher voice than he was used to using. He decided to play along for a moment, so he didn't seem suspicious. "I am. My name is..." Link struggled to think of an appropriate name, and decided on, "...Lara."

The bulky man smiled and nodded. "My name's Jiro. So, where are you from, Lara?"

From there, the conversation drifted through lies Link came up with on the spot to true things he had seen or done first hand. To his surprise, the conversation was very engrossing, at least partly because he was starting to realize that the man's muscled physique was actually exciting Link a little, and he was a pleasant enough person to talk to. By the time Link realized that the sun was starting to set, he had completely forgot that he had wanted to find the Happy Mask Salesman today. He also realized that he didn't have a place to sleep that night. Giving Jiro a pleading look, he asked, "It's getting dark, and I don't have a place to stay yet. Would it be okay if I stayed at your house?"

Jiro thought it over, but shook his head. "I'd love that, but I live with my coworkers, the other carpenters, and the boss doesn't like ladyfriends spending the night." Hearing Jiro call Link his 'ladyfriend' made a shiver of arousal sweep through his body. "But, I do know the local guard, and he and his family would probably love to take you in for the night."
