Um...

[If Kafei was hesitant the last time he made a scroll message, then right now he's just a ball of nerves. That dragon thing got him laughed at, and then his last in-person meeting was...less than stellar. It's hard to trust people, okay? But right now he really doesn't have much of a choice.]

...I had planned on going to those mines once they opened, and now that the time has come, I'm in need of an...escort. I know I was told that the path would be safe, but at least in Termina, it's incredibly unwise to leave town unprepared. Really, I have no idea how this town gets away without having any guards...

Which means I find myself forced to reach out. I'm afraid I have nothing to pay anyone with, so I can understand if this sounds less than ideal. After all, I don't have to go...

[He begins to shrink back, the second-guessing commences; ABORT. ABORT.]

This was a bad idea, I apologize.

I see. That's rational, I suppose.

Although...wouldn't kindness be the perfect way to open you up to betrayal later?

[His ears fold back.]

I'm more than aware of that possible outcome.

[Doesn't mean it's going to stop him.]

My.

I suppose you might be more brave than I thought.

Perhaps not more understanding. But braver, at least.

[Okay, well, looks like this person is somehow keeping score of...him. Good.]

I...don't really care what you think of me. My business is my own.
