Finally finishing with a good sketch of the scene, he looked up to see that time had moved on as it was want to do. He saw that the woman that he had focused on in his drawing was acting even more distressed, though now he had an inkling as to why. She seemed to be whispering to herself, was stepping around herself, and looking behind at the ground where there was nothing then walking away. She was not however in trouble and from what he could tell was simply troubled, in the head. 

Nil put away his drawing pad and getting up with a stretch his stomach growled. Deciding to wander about looking for a vendor selling food he reached into his wallet and heaving a sigh he hoped might be able to convince someone to take pity on him and give him some food for free. But that wasn’t likely to happen and he would have to resort to jerky .. again. Going to the entrance to the town was probably his best bet to find some food and some kind people with enough food to spare.

On his way there he began to pass another group going the same direction but he stopped when a child ran up to him and the group he was passing.
“Have you seen a fairy?” The little girl asked and Nil just turned to looked at her in confusion. Why was she looking for a fairy? Was it a game that was part of the HOT festival, like a scavenger hunt? While he thought this, the group he was passing walked right by completely ignoring the girl and before he could answer her she turned and ran away showing obvious signs of annoyance. 

He watched, perplexed, as she ran up to another pair of people which, his eyes widening slightly, Nil realized were Sheikah. At least one of them was, he wasn’t quite sure about the other one but one Sheikah was enough to be a source of potential problems which he didn’t want to have anything to do with. Especially if he was supposed to be here to prevent trouble as the whisper had said. So the best way to deal with trouble, in Nils mind, was to avoid it and so Nil smoothly, at least he hoped it looked that way, turned and began to walk down an alley way. 

As soon as he couldn’t see them, and he assumed them him. He quickened his pace and when he was about to exit the alleyway he turned to look back to see if they followed him without stopping. This proved to be the wrong thing to do, for as he exited the alley way he nearly ran into a pair of very large and imposing men. He froze short of them and got a full view of both them staring each other down and felt the tension. Fear, like a cold spike, shot through his heart and Nil began to back away very very slowly, hoping- no, praying that they didn’t notice him.
