Despite his tunnel vision he was doing a remarkable job of not running into people or things.  That said, he still was so close to actually touching them in some cases that he freaked a few people out.  At least one lady fell backwards and one kid rolled out of the way, just in case.  All the while he had yet to notice Quinn trying to get his attention.

Before long though the beast decided on what it hoped was an effective escape route.  The Cucco bolted for a small ledge that would be enough of a drop that could potentially hurt someone if they jumped off, but a feathered friend would be just fine.  Yulen quickly saw through its scheme however.

"Oh no you don't!"  With a burst of speed he reached out and grabbed the chicken wanna-be by the leg as it tried to jump off.  The Cucco flapped furiously to try and escape but Yulen held on firmly, not about to let the escapee get away.  With all the energy in the thing though as it tried to break free, Yulen could feel he was dangerously close to slipping off the edge and taking a tumble.

While all this commotion was transpiring, some of the townsfolk had gotten together to share stories and rumors.

"I don't think I've seen a single Goron even on the Death Mountain Trail for around four months now.  Sure they usually just stick to themselves but it's just strange."

"Come to think of it I haven't seen that one guy who likes to visit from time to time.  Can't remember his name...or are Gorons its?"

"I'm more concerned about the trails recently, I occasionally like to find rare plants or barter for ore but a lot of skulltulas, tektites have popped up recently.  I'm getting too scared to try and climb up the mountain anymore!"

"Whatever happened to that man who went up a few months ago anyway?"

"Who?"

"You know that big fellow with that striking red hair!"

"Oh him?  Don't know but I think someone saw him head back down soon after.  Certainly was a unique looking fellow."

The townspeople chattered about their new troubles, and anything interesting that was going on in the village or in Hyrule.  Though at the moment it was mostly discussions of things rather close to home.
