Leon walks over,muttering,"Gross...ribcage...it hurts...",rubbing a bandage that was patched over an easily-recognized bloody left arm."Sorry m'am,but this arm really hurts...stupid rib-bone...anyway,I found this Lantern with the words Lon Lon on it.Is this yours?".He holds up the rusty Lantern before sitting on a stockade of the fence.

Hiro walks by and sees lon lon ranch. Where did he see that name before? Of course, the lantern! Hiro gave malon the lantern and left without a word.

"Oh thank you for the help," Malon says quietly, clearly shocked. "I hope she's in a better place now." She then returns to the field to sing quietly to herself.

Cloud heard malon and remembered the lantern he had found. "Malon I found this lantern I hope this helps" Cloud presented the lantern to malon.

She seems to have a lot of lanterns by now. Ohwell, I suppose she could always use another. And I could always use some more exposure to the lands.

Arco sets aside a few moments before leaving to peer at the woman's hair. Apparently he finds it intriguing.

I've never seen a Sheikah or even a Goron with reddish hair like that.

His brow twitches.

But then again I don't know many Gorons with hair...

A "liffp." A "Shwip-pap." Arco straightens up, pats his garments down, and heads out the gate.

*Walks up to Malon, bows then places the lantern by her feet* "I have found the lantern but not the cow, I hope this will do."

"Oh thank you for the help," Malon says quietly, clearly shocked. "I hope she's in a better place now." She then returns to the field to sing quietly to herself.

The gate betrays the otherwise monotone and rhythmic steps of Arco. He stops a few yards away from the farm-girl and gives the lantern in his hand a (nother) doubtful look.

If she has use for seven lanterns, I'm sure she'd welcome an eighth. It stands to reason.

He pauses a bit longer as if waiting for something. Finally, his thoughts collect.

"Here," he says, carefully positioning the lamp within arm's reach of the other. In a voice barely above a whisper, he adds, "'Bessie' seemed to have gotten a long way..."

I have also aquired a lantern on my travels. *blows off the dust it has been collecting in Squalls Satchel* It has the words Lon Lon Ranch inscribed on it. It must be yours. Here take it.

"Oh thank you for the help," Malon says quietly, clearly shocked. "I hope she's in a better place now." She then returns to the field to sing quietly to herself.

<img src="images/npcs/malon.gif" align="right">"Oh no!" you hear Malon worry as she searches the boundaries of the ranch. "Here Bessie, here girl!"

Asking what is wrong, Malon sobs, "my favorite cow, Bessie, has run away again. If you find any information on her, please bring it to me. She was carrying on her collar an old lantern of mine. Oh, please find her!"

Umm, I found this, I thought you would like it back. I sorry for Bessie, I'm sure shes in a better place. *hands over a tissue*

"Hello, I haven't seen you around before." The small Deku says as he walks over to the human. "I'm Hyrule's Greatest Mercenary, Grenada. Who might you be?"

"Oh thank you for the help," Malon says quietly, clearly shocked. "I hope she's in a better place now." She then returns to the field to sing quietly to herself.

"I fear your Bessie is no longer with us." Alexander closed his eyes a moment, and then looks straight at Malon, holding out a small, dusty lantern, "Here's a lantern I found by her."

He side-eyes her, "If she was more friend than just a work animal, don't be afraid to mourn. Who cares what people say." With that, he strode to the gate and let himself out.

Wonder where THAT came from? he chuckled to himself with a shadow of a smile.

"Oh thank you for the help," Malon says quietly, clearly shocked. "I hope she's in a better place now." Before returning to the field to sing quietly to herself, she flashes you a grateful smile.
