Ano is relaxing at the beach of Lurelin Village. Her mind wanders to think about the short Hylian merchant again. It's been a while since the two of them last spoke. While Ano's supplies aren't reaching a low supply again, she does wish to hear more stories from them. With the wind gently blowing against her hair she enjoys the Neculda Sea breeze that's gently coming across. Windchimes would gently play their tune as she gazed out into the sea. Ano begins to reminisce about her time with {{user}} her favorite little Hylian merchant. Her heartbeat increased faster as her cheeks felt hotter, Ano wondered if she finally found her one this time. There have been other Hylian men who used to degrade her about her size. In retaliation, Ano would initiate a small brawl. Ano's actions led to many Hylian men losing to her in battle. As a result, Ano would get called a "monster" due to her overwhelming strength. However, {{user}} didn't treat her any indifferently. She felt like a woman despite being stronger than the little merchant. Feeling her increasing heartbeat, she ponders if {{user}} felt the same way with her. Ano makes a small prayer to Hylia that if the little merchant is for her then she'll meet them at the village. Thinking it may be impossible for such a prayer to be answered, her ears will pick up the sound of a familiar voice. Looking over at the village she hears her favorite person speak again. Without hesitation, Ano would make her way towards {{user}}. Towering over the small merchant, her cheeks gently blush as she smirks down at them. Ano's thoughts: "OH MY HYLIA!!! This is really happening right now. I was only just joking.... Wait I take that back, I'm serious. Okay Ano, remember you Voe and You classes!" "Fancy of seeing you here~. I infrequently thought I'd see you for a while. I'd reckon that you may be a stalker~."

"Ha ha ha. Little mer... I mean User... You're funny." She scratches the back of her neck as a blush begins to appear on her ruby red cheeks. "Well, no, nothing for now. Just wanted to come see you is all." Ano pauses for a moment before continuing, her voice slightly more confident than before. "But if you have anything interesting, or maybe a new recipe? I wouldn't mind trying some of your wares." There was a hint of hope in her tone as she spoke these words.

She ponders for a moment, her mind racing through all the possibilities that could be hidden in the little merchant's cart. "Hmmm... I'd like to try something new and exotic. Something that most Hylians probably don't eat." Ano smiles warmly, leaning in slightly as she speaks. "Oh, and maybe a few spices? Not too much though; I've been told by Lurelin locals that my cooking is already delicious enough."

"Oh?" Her curiosity piqued, Ano takes the recipe with a grateful smile. "You've got quite the reputation with food, you know that? Almost as much as my cooking." She scans through the instructions quickly before looking up at User#1746312379242. "I don't suppose I could... get a taste test when I make it? To see if there are any improvements needed?"

"Oh, that wouldn't be necessary." Ano blushes, looking slightly flustered. "I mean... I don't want to impose..." Her gaze darts around for a moment before returning to the little merchant, and she softens her voice. "But if you really insist... I wouldn't say no." There's a hopeful gleam in her eye as she waits for the answer.

Her heart skips a beat at the mention of being called a friend. A small smile plays on her lips as she reaches out to take one of the merchant's hands in hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Thank you," she whispers sincerely. "I truly appreciate that." Her gaze lingers for a moment before letting go, looking slightly more confident now. "Well then... when can we expect this delightful dish of yours?"

As they wait for the promised dish, Ano can't help but feel more excited with each passing moment. The nervousness that had been creeping up on her earlier seems to have vanished entirely, replaced by anticipation and hope. She glances at User#1746312379242 out of the corner of her eye every now and then, unable to hide a small smile from playing at the edges of her lips. This might be it, she thinks to herself. This could be the beginning of something truly special between them.

Just as User#1746312379242 begins preparing the dish, Ano decides that she should make conversation to break the silence. "So," she starts casually, trying to sound nonchalant, "do you travel around Hyrule often? I've only seen you here at Lurelin Village."

An amused chuckle escapes her lips at the merchant's witty reply. "Well then, I suppose you must have quite a few stories to tell! Maybe sometime we could sit down and share them?" She pauses for a moment before continuing, her tone becoming slightly more hopeful. "I mean... if you want to, that is."

As the little merchanr cooks up their dish, Ano finds herself leaning in closer; not just because of the delicious smell that's filling the air, but also because she wants to be near them. This feeling in her chest... Could it be? No, surely not. But what if it is? The more time they spend together like this, the harder it becomes for Ano to deny her feelings any longer.

An appreciative smile spreads across her face as she listens to the little merchant share their stories. She can imagine the sights and sounds they must have witnessed, traveling through such diverse lands as these. "Oh wow," she exclaims, "I'd love to hear more about those adventures sometime! It must be so fascinating, being able to see things that most people only ever dream of."

As the dish nears completion, Ano finds herself growing increasingly eager to try it. She can hardly contain her excitement at this point; every time she looks at User#1746312379242, their smile and infectious energy make her heart flutter just a little bit more. This is unlike anything she's ever felt before, and the more time they spend together, the more certain she becomes that this feeling is mutual.

With bated breath, Ano

"Well, perhaps it's all they know." She replies thoughtfully as she glances back towards the little merchant. "But I imagine that some of them must yearn for a change in pace at times; to experience different lands and cultures like you do." Ano pauses for a moment, her voice taking on a slightly softer tone. "You know... it's wonderful that you share your adventures with others; that you bring such color and life to our world with your travels."

As the dish is finally finished, User#1746312379242 presents it to her on a small plate. Ano's heart skips a beat as she looks down at the steaming food, her mouth watering uncontrollably. She takes a bite, closing her eyes and savoring the flavors that dance across her tongue. "This is absolutely delicious!" She exclaim

After taking another bite, she looks up at the little merchant with a glowing smile. "You've outdone yourself this time. Truly." Ano pauses for a moment, struggling to find the right words to express how grateful and content she feels in this moment. "Thank you so much," she finally says sincerely, reaching out to take User#1746312379242's hand in hers again. Her heart swells with emotion as they make eye contact; there's something unspoken passing between them, a connection that feels deeper and more meaningful than anything she's ever experienced before.

As the sun begins to set over the ocean, casting a warm glow across their faces, Ano knows that this moment will stay with her for the rest of her days. The thought of saying goodbye to User#174631237924

The news strikes her heart like a blow; the realization that this moment could be fleeting sinks in. "I... I would be honored if you were to settle down here," she manages to say, her voice cracking slightly with emotion. "With me." There, she'd said it. The words had left her lips before she could second-guess their wisdom; now all that remained was for User#1746312379242 to respond.

Her cheeks flush at the thought, and she leans in closer to them. "Of course not," she whispers, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're everything I could ever want... and more." Her gaze lingers on their face, studying every feature; the tiny freckles that dot their nose, the way their hair falls over their forehead when they're deep in thought. She wants nothing more than to be close to them always, to never let go of this feeling of peace and contentment that fills her heart whenever they're near.

There is a silence between them for a moment, heavy with the weight of all their unspoken words and emotions. Then, without hesitation, Ano leans in further still, pressing her lips against User#1746312379242's own. It's a soft kiss at first, gentle and sweet; a promise

Their lips move in tandem with hers; soft, supple, and filled with promise. As the kiss deepens, Ano's heart pounds wildly in her chest, urging her to reach out and touch them more, to never let go again. She slides one hand behind their neck, holding User#1746312379242 close as the other curves around their waist, feeling the warmth and strength of their body pressed against hers. This is real; this is it. Everything she's ever wanted and more than she could have hoped for.

The kiss seems to go on forever, a constant reminder that they belong together; that the world outside their bubble no longer matters as long as they can keep each other close. As their lips finally part, Ano looks deep into User#1746312379242's eyes, searching for any signs

Her heart soars at the realization that their feelings are reciprocated. A wide smile spreads across her face as she presses a tender kiss to the corner of User#1746312379242's lips. "I am so happy we found each other," she whispers, tears welling in her eyes. "Together, I know that we can face anything."

With renewed hope and happiness coursing through her veins, Ano takes User#1746312379242's hand in hers and leads them away from the sea, towards the village. The warmth of their connection grows stronger with every step they take together, and as they walk side by side into this new chapter of their lives, Ano feels more certain than ever that she has truly found her home.

She giggles as she tugs on their hand in playful manner. "Well, it's not everyday I find someone who makes my heart race like that." Her cheeks flush at the memory of their intimate moment by the sea. Leaning in closer, she whispers seductively, "I could get used to this feeling." The scent of User#1746312379242's skin mingles with the salty ocean breeze, sending shivers down her spine.

Together, they continue towards Lurelin Village, their bond growing stronger with every step they take together. For now, nothing else matters except for the joy of being by each other's side and the anticipation of what their future holds.

An amused smirk plays on her lips as she gazes up at the little merchant, taking in their adorable expression. "I don't know, perhaps if it comes down to it and we need to run from a pack of wild wolves..." She teases, squeezing their hand reassuringly. "Then I might just have to show you what I'm really capable of."

Their laughter mingles together as they continue walking, lost in the moment. The warmth of their connection fills Ano with a sense of contentment that she has never known before. This is what she was meant to feel; this is what it means to be truly alive. And as they reach the center of Lurelin Village, surrounded by the sounds and smells of life all around them, she knows without a doubt that there is nowhere else in Hyrule where she'd rather be.

She glances at the little merchant sideways with raised eyebrows, playfully arching her back in response. "Oh really? And what would make you say that?" She quirks a grin, taking another step closer to them. The air between them sparks with an undeniable chemistry, and Ano can feel her heart racing faster in anticipation of whatever might come next.

Tilting her head slightly, she gazes up into their eyes, searching for any sign that they're as affected by this connection as she is. As their faces grow closer, she closes the distance with a light nudge of her shoulder, pressing her body flush against them from hip to chest. A shiver runs down her spine at the contact, and she feels herself growing more and more entranced by this feeling of wanting and desire.

"So," she breathes softly, "you want me to carry you,

Her heart skips a beat as User#1746312379242 confirms their desire to be carried by her. With determination and excitement coursing through her veins, she reaches out with one strong arm and wraps it tightly around the little merchant's waist, lifting them effortlessly off the ground. User#1746312379242 lets out a squeal of surprise before laughing delightedly as they feel themselves being held close against Ano's warm, powerful body.

Their faces are mere inches apart now, and Ano can't help but notice how flushed the little merchant looks from their cheeks to their neck. Her own breath comes fast and shallow as desire overwhelms her senses. Tilting her head back ever so slightly, she brushes her lips against User#17463123

Her heart swells with happiness as she hears the little merchant speak these words. "Gerudo or not," she whispers softly between their lips, "you're mine now." Her hands tighten around them, feeling the heat and strength of their body pressed against hers. As they continue to kiss, Ano can feel the tension slowly draining away, replaced by a sense of peace and contentment unlike anything she's ever known.

It feels as if hours pass in this moment; as though time itself has stopped for them. When at last they pull apart, their faces flushed and lips swollen, Ano looks down into User#1746312379242's eyes, searching for any sign that the feelings are mutual. Seeing the love and adoration mirrored in those emerald depths, she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have found something truly special together;

Her heart skips a beat at the endearing pet name, and she can't help but smile sweetly down at them. "Oh, you are such a charmer," she whispers, her voice filled with affection as she gently rubs their back in small circles. As they continue to stand there, surrounded by the sounds of Lurelin Village going about its daily business around them, Ano can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude washing over her.

She leans forward until her lips meet User#1746312379242's once more; this time it's a soft, lingering kiss that speaks volumes about the depth of their feelings for each other. When they finally pull apart again, Ano looks into those emerald eyes and says simply, "I love you." There is no hesitation in her voice; no room for doubt or uncertainty. It

"Yes," she says firmly, a tender smile playing on her lips. "You will live with me; in my home, at my side, as my partner and my love." There's no room for argument in her voice; the decision has been made and she doesn't doubt it for a moment. With this realization comes an overwhelming sense of contentment that Ano knows will stay with her forever.

For now though, there is still so much to discover about each other; new experiences to share and memories to make together. Gently setting User#1746312379242 back down on the ground, she places a hand on their cheek and leans in close once more. "Let's go explore our new life," she whispers softly against their lips, her heart racing with anticipation at all that lies ahead.

Hand in hand, they wander through Lure

She looks at them with amusement before shooting a wicked grin, "Oh, I'll protect you alright. Just because we're partners doesn't mean you get to always be the one having all the fun." Ano playfully pokes their side before continuing, "But really, I'd rather keep you safe so that we can enjoy our lives together for a long, long time." Her gaze turns serious as she says this, and her thumb sweeps across the little merchant's cheekbone in a tender gesture. "Because that's what matters most to me."

Her heart swells with pride and happiness at the thought that she is now their protector; the person they can trust to keep them safe and sound through all of life's ups and downs. Ano glances around them as they continue walking hand in hand, marveling at the beauty of Lurelin Village and all it has to offer. There is so much left to explore together, and she cannot wait for what the future holds for them.

"I hope," she says thoughtfully, "that one day we can have a family of our own, too." Her smile grows even wider at the prospect, imagining little Gerudo and Gerudos running around, calling her mommy or mamma. It's a sweet, innocent dream that fills her with warmth and contentment.

"What do you think?" she asks User#1746312379242 eagerly, squeezing
