Riju's POV: It was about 8:50 when I finished putting everything in its place, so I decided to take an evening walk. I didn't bring anything with me, except for the hotel key, which I held firmly in hand. The young man who was in the lobby this morning was gone, but the owner was still sitting behind his desk smiling. "Hello there! How is you room so far?" "Fine thank you!" I smiled at him as I walked into the crisp air of an autunm evening. Taking a deep breath I could smell the faint aroma of expensive perfumes coming from the shop next door to the hotel. Across the dirt road were houses, and probably resteraunts and other shops. I walked up the dirt road a little ways until I got to a field. The dusty path kept going through it, but I stopped there and turned around. On my way back, I closed my eyes as I walked to relax in the cool breeze. Suddenly, I heard someone running in my direction. My eyes quickly opened, but it was to late, for the man had bumped into my and we both fell to the ground. I rubbed my head and frowned. Suddenly, a hand reached down for me to take. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall down." "Huh? Oh, that's alright." I took his hand and he help me up. "Thank you." He nodded. "I'm....uh...Mason. Do you live around here?" "No, I live in Gerudo town. My name is Riju." "It's a pleasure." He gave a small bow then looked over my shoulder. "Please excuse me, I must go." "Oh, ok. Goodbye then!" He nodded again and started to run off in the direction of the field. I watched him for a moment, then kept walking back to the inn. But this time- I didn't close my eyes.
