Chapter #6
Unexpected Happenings
by: Unknown
Link notices that the construction crew has all settled down at a crud-looking table for lunch. One of the short and stocky guys gives a wave for the Hylan to make his way over. Obliging the generous offer, Link hopes off Epona, patting her and letting her know he'll be a short while.
He arrives at the table and takes a seat at the only empty spot left on the edge of one of the benches. The table is surprisingly filled with food, Link being informed that there is a cook on the grounds to make sure the workers maintain their stamina for the construction. Most of the food before them was protein, meats of all sorts and jugs of juice. The guys all simply started in on the feast so Link did so as well, figuring that was his cue.
He started on a slab of charred meat, but soon found himself through with it and sampling (or rather devouring) some of each prepared piece. The food was had such a different flair than what he was used to both at the castle and at the village that he didn't even bother to notivce how much he was actually consuming, nor how his appetite was increasing since his former days of battle and dungeon-crawling.
Finally he swallowed the last piece on his plate, and also the last piece on the table, highly pleased with the meal. Shortly after the last morsel hit his stuffed gut, he felt a pang of pain as he unexpectedly ripped a monster belch that put all of the construction crew to shame.
Suddenly he felt the full weight of all he had rapidly consumed. His belly began to ache with the surprising amount of food he had managed to stuff down. His belly ache made him glance down and see the curve of the rounder belly his tunic was beginning to have to stretch to cover. He finally realized part of the pain was probably caused by his tight leather belt digging into his flesh under his protruding belly. Of course, undoing his belt here would alert his companions to the larger state of their hero. So he dealt with the pain, making idle conversation until the guys had to get back to work. Finally he stood up and slowly made his way back to Epona, and managed to get back into the saddle after some grunts and strained efforts.
He couldn't really describe how it felt to undo his belt and let his man-sized gut hang out, filled to the brim with food and drink. He felt satisfied somehow, to feel that much heavier. As Epona began the trek back to the castle, Link could only feel the contents of his stomach slosh back and forth, belching in upset, and contemplating how he felt about everything.
