Link was about to protest that he'd only gotten up that morning because they had something going on first thing, then she pulled that 'lost puppy' thing out, and his jaw dropped incredulously. "'Lost puppy'? Excuse you? I was doing my job, not following you around because I was starved for affection. You didn't exactly give a lot of that at first anyway!"
He gave her an insulted look. "I didn't plan on getting up at the same time you do every day anyway. Today just had things going on." Grump grump grump.
