Clyde looked up quickly at her words, hurrying to catch up with her. Without knowing it, his hand took hers tightly, like a child with her mother. "You got lost from your home too?"

Shantae either chose to ignore the hand, or didn't mind it too much. Most likely it was the latter. "That's right." She looked down at the little shy-guy, smiling slightly. "You see, I come from this beautiful land called Sequin Land. You see, I live in the lands harbor village of Scuttle Town, where I'm not only a resident, but the guardian genie."
Now I'm no rocket scientist, but it pretty much wouldn't take a genius to know that Clyde would immediately grow curious at that last word.

Clyde gasped lightly. "A..a genie?" he gaped. "You mean, like, the ones in the picture books, that are inside lamps and grant three magic wishes?"

Shantae chuckled at the boy's curiosity. "Not exactly." At the curious looks she continued. "You see many many years ago in Sequin Land, genies used to walk the earth like regular people, performing magical miracles, such as healing feeding the poor among a few other things. Not sure where the lamp myth came from exactly but Genies did grant wishes in a way."
She cleared her throat before continuing. "Then some years before I was born the genies just disappeared, back into the magical realm from which they originated." She noticed the shy-guys look. "I know what your thinking, why am I not with them?" She shrugged. "Truthfully I... I'm a half genie. But I'm not sure how though. I never knew my parents after all."

"Half?" Clyde thought about this. "Oh...I guess that's why you're not with the genies..." He made a sad pause, but quickly shook it off. "B-but still, it's cool that you know magic! I sometimes see Magikoopas use them..."

A mischievous grin appeared on the half genie's face upon hearing this. Thinking a moment, an idea appeared to come.
"Well have you ever seen Magikoopa's do this?" She lightly pushed the boy back, "Stand back, just give me a little room."
She stood stock still a moment, confusing Clyde possibly...
After a moment, the shy guy noticed her foot start to tap in a steady rythm...
This was followed by her whole body as she began dancing some odd little belly dancer like dance, to a rythm only she could hear. After a couple of dance steps, she appeared to stop...
GLOWING with magical power all the while.
FLASH!!!!!!!!!!
Once the light died down, Clyde looked around... ...
Shantae was nowhere to be found. Before he could panic however, he felt something jump on his shoulder, it appeared to be a monkey with brown fur that appeared dyed purple slightly, and a purple jacket... ... ...
"Pretty neat huh?" Shantae's voice came directly from the monkey's mouth.

Clyde gasped, then jumped at the little monkey on his shoulder. He then clapped his hands and laughed. "Wow! That's amazing! Teeheehee!"

After jumping off of Clyde's shoulders, she looked up at him. "Ah this is simple magic compared to some of the other things I can do." With a small flash, the monkey transformed back into the spunky half genie that everyone knew her as. "I know quite a few other spells too. But putting that aside, let's find this carpenter so we can have this mask all fixed up." She held out a hand, a kind smile on her face. "So shall we get going little guy?"

After clapping again, Clyde nodded, easily taking her hand. "Okay!"

After a little bit of a walk, the two soon found themselves at an odd little shop that appeared to have a myriad of masks inside, from Halloween masks, to festival masks. Walking inside, Shantae looked around a moment. "Umm... Hello? Anyone here?"
As she looked around, she found herself looking at the multiple masks that hung on the wall. Among them were chinese masks that looked like dragons, clown masks, and even some creepy looking wooden masks. Shantae couldn't help but let out a small shudder. "Guh... Creepy..."
[Think it would be okay if we brought the Legend of Zelda's 'Happy Mask Salesman' in for this scene? XDDD lol]

For once, Clyde was more fascinated by the masks that lined the walls. It was more of an innate fascination than anything else. "Wow..."

Shantae noticed the boy's fascination though said nothing. She took another second to shudder before looking around once more. "Um... Is anyone here?"
"Why hello there."
Shantae and possibly Clyde jumped three feet into the air when this voice appeared directly behind them, when they were sure that no-one was there seconds previous.
The man standing there appeared to be wearing a drama mask, looking especially spindly, the drama mask's half smile, half frown, piercing the two's souls almost. "How can I help you? Surely you must be quite the enthusiast of masks to be in my shop."

"Eeee!" Terrified, Clyde darted behind Shantae, clinging to her poofy pant leg. "...um... do you, um...fix...masks...?"

"Hmmm..." The Mask Maker looked down at the little Shy-Guy and immediately saw why the little guy asked such a question. "I see, I see... You're a Shy-Guy are you not? I can understand your want to fix that mask."
Shantae looked at the man suspiciously. "Can you do it?"
The mask maker grinned and giggled at this. "Why of course I can! Fixing up such a simple little mask will be no problem for me." He took a second to look around, "Now we just need to find a good replacement until we can get the other one fixed." He motioned to the little Shy-Guy, then around the shop. "Have a look around, you can choose any of these masks that you like, to wear temporarely, until I can fix your old one."

"Oh...really? I can have any one I want?" Clyde gazed around the shop in awe at the many masks that lined the walls. "Wow...I-I dunno which one...there's so many neat ones...!"
