“But Link, what if she doesn’t take a liking me?”
“Sidon, you worry too much, she’ll like you just fine. Has anyone ever not taken a liking to you?”
“Well, that’s hardly-”
“Anyone at all?”
“Well...I can’t say for cer-”
“That’s what I thought. Now just take this carrot and approach her slowly.”
“Alright, alright...she’s not reacting, Link. Should I be worried?”
“You’re doing great, Sidon. Just get a little closer.”
“What should I do now?”
“What do you think you should do, Sidon?”
“Umm, give her the carrot?”
“Exactly.”
Sidon’s hand trembled as he lifted the carrot up to meet Epona’s muzzle. After staring down Sidon for a moment, Epona moved to accept his offering. The second she opened her mouth to grab the carrot, Sidon let out a yelp, dropped the carrot, and ran off as Link chased after him, trying to assure him that Epona doesn’t hate him and that she’s nothing to be scared of, laughing the whole time.
