"I guess there is a strong smell," Kuro said. He was beginning to sober up and could almost think straight. Then he heard Kin's question. "I didn't do anything to her! Wait. Did I?" Kuro was a bit confused. His memory of not long ago was a bit clouded.

Luckily for Kuro, Skye bailed him out. "It was most likely the smell," she said. "But I'm surprised at the reaction. I've never seen anything like that."

"I think your right, Skye."Kin said. Kin was still holding Aiden. It didnt bother him. As long as he didnt get hurt By any one.

Aiden pulled from Kin, recoiling like a viper might. For a moment her green eyes flashed dangerously, she didn't like Sheikah near her. Backed away from the group she looked different. Normally Aiden had an innocent air about her and seemed rather vulnerable, but now she looked strong, wild, and sure. Her head held high, back straight, a glint in her eye, and her smile gone. She didn't look dangerous or angry, just not as... silly.

"I'm ok," her voice was sure and strong, but she looked to Kuro with a new wariness. Stroking the hilt of her dagger she relaxed a little, truly feeling better. Away from the group she was able to smell the fresh breeze.

"You should have let go when you had the chance Kin," Kuro said. He wasn't surprised from Aiden's reactions. She seemed uncomfortable around other Sheikans. For a moment, Kuro wondered why. He couldn't figure anything out so he gave up. Then he considered what would happen If Kin asked Aiden why that was. That might not be good. he hoped that didn't happen.

Kuro placed his hands in his pockets hoping someone would say something.

Aiden remained quiet fir a moment, just looking Kuro over. He seemed to be getting a tad more sober. Should he even be drunk from a single drink? Whatever the case she made a note to never drink the rank smelling stuff. Still, she wouldn't judge him for it. Her gaze softened as his hands slid into his pockets, it was so simple. He was so relaxed.

"Where are your brothers today Kuro?" Her eyes twinkled she had only met them once, but still remembered them.

Kin backed of and said "Sorry I was just tring to help...Aiden." Kin then went over to Kuro."What did you drink?" Isaku and Rose looked at each other. Isaku went t ogive a hug to Rose. Rose then slapped him."What do you think you are doing Isaku?" Isaku looked at her "Hugging you."

"My brothers? I think Kurita's either torturing or getting tortured by a fairy, and Hiruma's most likely just wandering around aimlessly and threatening people into doing stuff for him like usual," Kuro explained. "It's been awhile since I've seen them. Why do ask?" Kuro ignored Kin's question, and Rose and Isaku's bickering.

Aiden's eyes lit up at the word, fairy. She had never met one, although she had heard enough about them. Still, why would anyone wish harm upon a fairy? They were small, cute, quick, smart, and loyal little creatures, or so she had heard. When she was younger she'd run around chasing butterflys insisting they were fairies and she would get one. By now she realized that fairies and butterflys were not the same.

"They were just nice that's all. Do your parents talk to you much?" She had no idea if his parents were like hers, or the bloody history he had.

Kuro blinked hard a few times to suppress any tears. "They...died," he said. He turned around so nobody could see the sadness in his eyes. He didn't want to go into detail, but figured he would have to explain sometime. "They were killed. A man who we thought was homeless asked us for money, then, when he received the money he left and returned a day later with a sword in hand and killed them before my eyes." Kuro took a few deep breaths and turned around when he knew he had no tears streaming down his face.

"Did you forget me?" Kin said as he watched rose as she walked to Aiden and give her a 2 rupees. "Here have this." Rose said as she walked back to Kin

Aiden's widened in shock at his answer, dead? Right after he said that she felt guilty, it was really none of her business. She went to his side and placed her hand lightly on his shoulder. Her hands were small, with slender fingers, and they were soft as silk. He might not even feel her hand on his shoulder, but her other hand clasped his uppr arm giving it a tender squeeze. Most people would apologize for his loss, but not Aiden, she knew saying that would do nothing.

Once he turned around she let go of him, letting her hands fall to her sides. She searched his gaze with her bright green ones. Her eyes could always give her away, they were full of saddness and trust. He had just spilled his soul out for her, it made him more real and easier to trust. "What happened to him? And your brothers..?" Her voice was soft and kind, sometimes she knew talking about it helpd. Just then Rose came up and handed her two rupees..

"I ended up going into a blinding rage and severed the muscles in the man's right arm," he explained. He was looking down because he didn't want people to see the sadness in his eyes. "And my brothers took it pretty hard, but they didn't see anything. We've all been rounding up people to kill the man ever since," Kuro explained. He swallowed hard a few times and kept his head down. He did feel a bit better talking about it though.

Aiden nodded, well it explained why the brothers were so close. Most siblings she knew bickered almost constantly. At least they still had eachother. "Has he been causing problems since? Did you ever figure out why he..?" She was watching him closely, wishing she could just take away his pain. For her violence was never the answer, but she knew he could probably think of no other way.

"Well, he's been sending assassins after my brothers and I. I'm not sure what he wants with us. It has to be something other than money," he said. He wished he knew more than he does, but he couldn't figure anything out. "He's hard to track down because he's so secretive about what he does and stays in hiding constantly," he explained. "We've had friends agree to scout him out, but have only returned empty handed. They didn't even see his assassins. The only other place to look in Hyrule is down south. Hopefully that will be available soon."

Aiden listened attentively, but said nothing, at least not at first. Turning away she walked away, stopping she turned back and studied his face. "Were the assassins Sheikahn?" She knew that many Sheikah offered up their services to such things and not just to the royal family. Besides, when one wanted to disappear they often showed up in her town. Many times she could remember random people staying in the town. "I would check the ruins once the south is free." For a moment she thought of home and her gaze clouded.
