[She is correct--Link has never actually taken care of any baby animals in a serious capacity, though he's seen a few before, namely chickens and horses and a few puppies.]
Kind of...they're so small.
[Well, the kittens are, anyway. He hasn't seen very many sheep or pigs to judge their size relative to the babies. The kittens are also the loudest, one of them mewing indignantly at him as he tries to carefully detach it from his tunic and keep it from waking the piglet asleep beside him.]
And sharp. [And to the kitten:] I'm trying to help you, cut it out.
[ Haha yeah remember that time when you were ten and some weird girl gave you a chicken egg and it started hatching in your pocket? Malon remembers that (and she doesn't really feel any remorse for her actions).
She laughs as she watches Link try to unhook the determined kitten from his tunic. This is hands-down one of the cutest things she's ever seen. ]
Yeah, these little guys might be too young to retract their claws yet. It kind of makes you feel like a pin cushion when they start making biscuits.
[ Malon uses her hands to mimic the kneading motion the kitten has probably tried to against Link's tunic. ]
[She should, because that was not only one of the most traumatizing things he'd ever experienced but also was the reason he got caught sneaking into the castle the first time he made an actual effort to.
Not really, but he chooses to believe it was part of the reason.]
Making biscuits? [There's no bread involved here, so he's a bit confused, and only slightly less when she does the motions.] Oh...I feel a bit like that right now. Do you think it will quiet down if I let it climb the rest of the way up?
[He can deal with a shoulder kitten, so long as it doesn't yell directly in his ear. Besides that, it's harder than he thought to get rid of claws; every time he frees more than one foot, any previous feet reattach themselves.]

Maybe he's hungry. Kittens this little are supposed to eat every few hours. Wanna try feeding him?
