Mallaidh's Links
We had a rocky start... Link was certainly suspicious of the two of us and I don't suppose I can blame him. He strikes me as a person who has gone through a lot of tragedy and tragedy does not typically lead one trusting of strangers. Getting to know him has been rewarding, however, despite how aggressive he comes off he is truly such a sweetheart. Hawkes is still unsure of him, he is trying - I can see that. Traveling with him is... difficult, I'll admit. But Hawkes wasn't here to see when Link woke me up from a nightmare and sat with him until he returned. He cares. He's just afraid. I feel a strong urge to protect him, to make him smile, to help him see that he is not alone. He doesn't have to be.
"Mallaidh's smile intimidates me. I can't help but feel like there's some hidden meaning behind it, like she's got some ulterior motive for talking to me. For being so nice. I don't trust it. I can't. I want to, but I can't. It's safer that way. Still...I like her a lot. She's very sweet, and I can't help but want to take care of her, especially when Hawkes isn't around. She's too good to me. I...I think I love her."
