Huh? [He blinks. Oh, right, he's supposed to be doing that whole... behaving like a normal human thing... Why is it so hard...]

I probably just got lucky. Or this axe is sharper than it looks. [He offers the axe for Link to carry, so he can carry the tree back more easily. ... The fact he can carry easily a tree is also probably not normal human behaviour, but it's probably too late to stop now, isn't it?]

[Link accepts the axe and tests its weight, the axehead bobbing for a few seconds. It's not that hefty of an axe and the blade looks sort of dull. It would take Link several swings to chop down a tree with this axe.

As they start heading back to town, Link can't help but regard Akira with skeptical curiosity. He watches him for a short while as they walk. Not only did he take down the tree easily, but he's carrying it like it's nothing, too.]

So, um... What's your story, then? [the question comes out awkward but Link doesn't know how else to broach the topic.] You're so tall and strong. You're not a lumberjack, so... Are you a solider back home, or something?

[lacrimose]

What? No, I'm not a soldier. I'm still in school.

[Akira had just wanted to be helpful and get the quest done quickly, but now he regrets not taking more time with it, or even letting Link handle it. Even in a place like this where powers are commonplace, he has to be more careful not to draw attention.]

I'm on the track team, though. I can run pretty fast.

School?

[Someone his age, still in school? Link could only imagine that he was upper-class, in that case, and studying to be an important scholar or scientist. But perhaps that's a wrong assumption to make, knowing how different some of the people here can be from what he's used to. Not to mention that he has no idea what the "track team" is.

Without knowing more about him, Link can't even formulate the right questions to get the right information to understand him better. So he shuffles along, thinking quietly to himself.]

I think you'd do well in the Royal Guard back in my world. At least, back when it was still around. That's what I used to do myself, even though I'm not very big compared to you and some of the others here. [he grins.]
