Hyrule. Thurdsay, [05/03 FT].

After it was generally ~~and mostly handwavily~~ decided that the group would use their extra day in Hyrule to visit the far reaches of the land in the Gerudo Desert, Sidon wished them well with his regrets that he would not be able to join them. Sure, winter on Fandom Island had definitely tested his ability to withstand different weather, but he knew the heat of the desert would still be far too much for him. Besides, he would never be able to pass as a vai in order to enter the city, so he would just wait for them back at Zora's Domain.

"I would say to call if anything goes amiss," he said before they left, "but after yesterday, I am not too sure that would be a possible solution."

But Ramella, the Gerudo guide, assured the prince that she would keep them from harm, and they gathered their horses, and set off to the southwest for the next and final leg of their adventure.

[[ day three, almost done! OCD ~~incoming has arrived!!]]~~

... Walk too good yet? Peridot was pretty sure she was older than everybody on this trip combined! But before she could protest, there were seals, and Peridot was peering at them with an enthusiastic sort of curiosity.

"How do they work? Can I touch one? Can I have one?"

She had no idea if they'd get along with Pumpkin, but it seemed worth a shot.

"You can touch 'em, sure!" Isha said brightly. "They especially like to be scratched on their chin, underneath all those rolls, but I don't think you can have one, I mean, unless you're really rich or something because you'll have to buy one. Or you could catch one out in the wild, but that's real hard..."

And considering she couldn't even walk too good yet....it was probably going to be a while before Best Friend Peridot could catch wild sand seals.

Peridot wrinkled her nose a little at that.

"I'm not rich," she admitted. "But I could try to catch one. Maybe. I'm smarter than your average Peridot, you know."

Yeah, Isha wouldn't exactly have a basis for comparison there, 'Dot.

But of course she'd want to knooooow.

"How smart is the average Peridot?" Isha asked, giggling. "Smarter than a bokoblin?"

Most people were smarted than a bokoblin, so...

"Absolutely," Peridot replied immediately. Did she know what a bokoblin was? Nope. But her point still stood. "Very much smarter than a bokoblin."

"Smarter than a...." Isha thought for a second. "Than a molduga??"

They were a little bit smarter, she guessed, because they could sense where people were going even when underground!

Peridot squinted a little.

"Probably smarter than a molduga."

Yet another thing she had no idea about!

Isha squinted back.

"Probably?" she asked suspiciously.

Probably didn't sound very convincing, New Best Friend Peridot.

"What's a molduga?"

That part didn't help her position any, did it?

"Can't be that smart if you don't know what a molduga is," Isha insisted. "But a molduga is a big old monster that swims underneath the sand, and so you have to be real quiet and walk so, so soft," and she demonstrated for New Best Friend Peridot, crouching slightly and sneaking forward on her tippy-toes, "or else CHOMP!" She jumped forward and clapped her hands close to Peridot's face in an attempt to scare her. "You get eaten right up! Yum, yum, yum, you're a tasty molduga snack!"

Well done, Isha! Peridot was jumping backwards with a yelp at that clap in her face, falling on her butt and staring back with wide-eyes.

"Do they even eat Peridots?"

She wouldn't be terribly filling!

Isha really couldn't have hoped for a better reaction, and was nearly on her own butt in a moment from all her giggling, clutching her little stomach with delight.

"I don't know," she admitted once she could breathe again, "probably! Molduga eat everything, even sand!"

"I am not sand!"

That wasn't the point, 'Dot.

"... But I guess I am a part of 'everything,' huh?"
