no, she's also kind of intrigued. she's seen stuff like this, magic - but it was... more hallucinations than this, so.]
It seems that way. I... [she starts, and then next to them, a storefront pops up, and then another next to it, and another, and they're standing in a city at night. watch this link not work because it's a wiki link.
[ he is, he is. of course, what happens next is far more than one little stretch of cobblestone. it's a lovely city, illuminated with warm city lights and hewn more from stone than the metal he's accustomed to.
he snoops right away, studying the architecture and various billboards. ]
What an exquisite picture! You created all this? [ he extends a hand to see if he can draw her away from where she's standing and still have the scene stay intact. they can EXPLORE ]
[it's a pretty city! it's - he won't know what the vibe of las vegas is, but it is kind of like a medieval las vegas. there are gambling parlors on every corner, there is absolutely a brothel up the steps and it's not even trying to hide what it is, there are little restaurants and cafes. the streets are littered with garbage and newspaper advertisements, but. it's still charming, in a way. there's life, here.
and hey! it's home, so.]
I must have, unless you've been to New Delsta. [she says, amused. she... does not take that hand, but she will move forward to stand next to him, and then keep moving to see if there's a limit to the end of this.]
[ that's okay, not everyone is as silly touchy-feely as him—the important thing is Exploration!! the city is definitely more urban than he's ever seen, a little grimy, but it speaks to how populous it must be. ]
I've never heard of it!
[ that doesn't stop him from trying to open a door and peek into one of the stores... ] But that seems typical here. I've yet to meet anyone who is at all familiar with Hyrule.
[ he picks up a staff, which is perhaps the least disproportionate weapon for him, testing its (fake) weight. it feels very real, which he still looks to be awed by before he tunes into her question. ]
It's beautiful! I have not traveled all the lands, but even beyond the Zora's Domain, it is remarkable—great springs, fire mountains, deserts, grasslands... [ a thoughtful pause. ] It is damaged, perhaps. But resilient.
[ CUTE... friends. friends that bully. her reaction earns a laugh. ]
Not for long, but he was pleasant company. I may be able to drag out out for a swim! [ ignores my disastrous pc timelines ] You must be very close to speak that way.
she smiles! it's genuine, honestly, which is saying something.]
It was just the two of us, at the start. We gathered six others on our journey, but he was first. He's... yes. We are close. [also:] You should definitely take him for a swim. Don't let him say no.
[ aww. love a good squad. he smiles at the clear camaraderie, and the way that she can admit it plainly enough. then it spreads into a wider, more exuberant grin. ]
Okay! I will accept no other answer! [ he sounds determined oh no ] This means that you will join as well, yes?

he lets out an exaggerated woah! of surprise before the image settles. ]
Impressive!! [ even if it's just a road, this is beyond just a picture? ] The room itself is transforming! [ it's just a road ]

I unfortunately haven't heard of Hyrule, no. [she follows him, peeking in after him.] What is it like?

[ he gestures around. ]
I've never seen a city so bustling, though!

It sounds nice. [that's genuine! it does really sound nice!] Really, though? This is... relatively common in Solistia.
[... curiously:] Is that what you are? A Zora.
no subject
he has questions, but first: ]
Correct! [ he stops messing around with weapons long enough to introduce himself ] I am Sidon, prince of the Zora.
And you are?
no subject
Throné. [a beat.] I'm not royalty. As far as I know.
[thanks that's helpful]
no subject
One would hope that you'd know...?
[ it's said with amusement. he takes note that she is probably not royalty. ]
Solistia—do you know the other man here, then? Temenos?
no subject
Yes, I do. He's a dear companion of mine. You've spoken to him? [a beat.] I'm sorry.
[BE NICE]
