Ruka’s eyes lit up as she looked at the colorful candied apple. Then she was first to say, “Yes, yes, sit with us!” With a big smile. 

Salvador smiles too then, “Of course you can, you don’t have to ask Link. We don’t bite.” Ruka eyes Sal’s head snakes, “They might. No, bad!” She bops the reactive snakes on the nose until they settle back into more like a silver helmet around Salvador’s skull. 

“Sorry, they have a mind of their own.” He pulls out a chair for Link. 

“Chefs get the first taste of their meals, where I’m from.” Salvador said and they let Link enjoy his.

After Link’s comment about the princess, Ruka asks, wide eyed, “You know a princess? Is she beautiful and strong? I bet she is.” Salvador laughs, and says, “I’m sure she’ll love it as long as you’ve done your best to make it.” 

Shortly after, Ruka took a chomp out of her brightly colored apple. It’s crisp shell crunching loudly. But the shell still held in place by the caramel-like colored substance. Ruka excitedly said, “It tastes perfect! So good!”

Sal crunched into his as well, and was just as delighted by the flavorful taste. “This is delicious!” He said and clapped Link on the back. “You are an extremely talented master of your craft. I have no doubt you can do anything you put your mind to.” Ruka nods with a smile in agreement.
