Toru's eyes narrowed in understanding.
"She's an animal, then..!"

He looked at her with a bland expression.
"Well, yeah, she's an animal. A human, I'd make take care of themselves. She's a fruit bat."

"Oh, she's back at the flophouse. She doesn;t much like daylight, and she doesn't like risking the owls by herself at night. Problem is, I can't lay hands on anything for her to eat after dark."

Kino rubbed his chin in understanding.
"And you don't have money to buy the fruit for Polly?" he asked.

Toru's eyes showed those of understanding, as she crossed her arms.
"I see... that's odd, I didn't think fruit bats were necesarily against sunlight."

"t's mostly 'cause folks around here scream 'demon!' and try to swat her out of the sky when she flies by daylight."
Kalien glanced at the other Sheikah in evident annoyance.
"I don't have money for the damn flophouse. I just work it off."

Kino held his hands up in defense.
"Hey hey, was just a question!"

Toru dropped her arms and walked a few steps towards Kalien. Rummaging in her pouch, she took out a small bag, handing it to Kalien.
"It's filled with chopped fruits. Though, I don't know if they're the kind, Polly, would like."

He took the bag suspciously, peeking inside.
"She's not really feeling picky at the moment."

Kino raised an eyebrow. He remained quiet and just stood as a guard.

Toru smiled lightly, still not looking directly at Kalien, as if staring off into space.
"Well then. Off you go."

He blinked.
Once.
Then he was off and running, moving as fast as his legs would carry him.

Toru pointed a side of her face in his direction as if to hear him scamper off.
"Heh.."

"That's your job, remember? I'm retired."
She turned and began to walk away.
"I'll be leaving Castle Town tonight..."

"What? Wait! Toru! Why?"

"To help the world." She expalined. "I'm going to search for the Legion Hero."

Kino rubbed the back of his head and walked over to her.
"So.. you.." Kino looked to the floor, "well.. I.."
He sighed. He just couldn't get his words straight.
"Something has been bugging me lately," he explained, "this overwhelming fear. And well.. I guess something has been telling me to leave as well, but.. I-I ignored it till now. I don't want you to go. I have to go with you!"

Kalien legged it back to the poorest section of the city, running past beggars who probably measured ther life by the number of times they could get drunk off of their earnings.
He scrambled into the flophouse, sprinting past the landlady before she coud yell one syllable about the gutters he was supposed to fix, and practically dove into his room- a glorified closet by most standards, but at least it had a window.
Polly poked her head out from beneath the covers of the bed and chirped slightly as she recognized Kalien. He grinned and umped out the sack of fruit... as well as the dates that he still had in his pockets.
"There ya go, Polly. Eat up. It's time we were out of this hellhole anyway."

"Kino.. I can't let you do that. Besides, you can't just leave either way, you have a duty to uphold." Toru said almost sadly.

"Well, I know I do. But..," Kino was sad, "you're really the only one who understands me. I can't just let you go like that."

"Kino.." Toru turned back to him, reaching out with a hand to touch the side of his face as she smiled warmly. "I can't always be there for you. You can find others, just as good as me." Her hand parted from his cheek.
"You'll do fine, I know it."

Kino had tears in his eyes.
"But.. please. I want to adventure. Something is telling me to.. I.. I don't know what. It's overwhemling. I just never told you cause I thought you'd think it was silly. But now I know it's not!"

"Not until you've completed your service, Kino. I won't let you ruin your career." She said in a serious manner, before turning away.
Toru, of course, couldn't know that Kino was crying, as she started walking away. "I won't say goodbye, because this isn't it."

Kino sighed.
It isn't good bye..
Kino's voice shook as he spoke, "Please.. I can't be here alone.."

Toru stopped.
"Kino, you're never alone. Every Sheikah in Kakariko village would give their life for you, as I would. It's our collective bond that separates us from the others."
She tried smiling.
"Besides, I'm sure a handsome man like you can find good company. You just need to try, yes?"
With that, she waved while walking and continued onward.

Kalien peered out his window. He wasn't worried about the drop... the rope he'd scooped up from the landlady's closet was certainly long enough.
It was the whole "sneak out of a window in broad daylight" thing that was giving him headaches. Polly nipped at his earlobe.
"Yes, girl, we can get going..."
Well, here goes everything...
He'd never skipped out on a non-cash rent bill before. Hyrule truly was full of surprises....

Kino looked to the floor in sadness. His pulled his hand up to his face and wiped the tears away.
Once she was out of earshot, Kino started to walk off into a direction, he wasn't sure where he was going.
"Now what?" he said kicking a small stone with his foot.

Kalien ran down the street, with the landlady running after him, shrieking all sorts of implications about his ancestry. Polly simply clutched his shoulder, chirruping excitedly
Once, just once, I'd like to leave a town quietly...
