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!!]]~~

"See that hill over there?" Tali lifted her chin now toward a slightly raised plateau of sand not too far from where they were. "You can't see it from here, but there's an old platform there, and a big glowing ball. Every time there's a challenger, we throw up a coarse and race for the title of Sand Surfing Champ, and the Champ gets the ball and a belt. I don't think I'm good enough yet to defeat the current Champ, but once I am, watch out! I'm gonna be undefeated until the day I die."

How delightfully poorly organized! "I bet you will," Tip said, with absolutely no reason to have an opinion either way. "How long have you been practicing?"

"Since I first wrangled this guy here," another loving pet to the sand seal, who just seemed to pant contentedly and stare off into nothing dopily, "about...what was it, big guy? Five years ago? He put up a good struggle, too, took me months before I was sneaky enough to get him!"

"You caught him yourself?" Tip said, suitably impressed. "Wow! I've never done anything like that." Well. She had tamed a Boov, but those were sentient and could be reasoned with. Also, J.Lo would likely object strenuously to the comparison. "Does he have a name?"

Tali shrugged a little. It was basically a rite of passage for a Gerudo girl. First, you caught a sand seal. Then, you caught a voe.

She didn't have too much of an interest in that second one, to be honest.

"Milton."

"Nice to meet you, Milton," Tip said to the seal. "This place is really cool. I'm glad my friends and I got to come visit."

"You and your friends," Tali said, tilting his head. Milton, for the record, let out a little muffled sound that might have been a hello. "You're not from Hyrule, right? Word on the street's you come from somewhere else entirely."

It was a small town in the middle of no where. Word traveled pretty fast.

"That's right," Tip said. "We're from totally different worlds, actually. We're all friends with the prince of the Zora, from school."

"That's so wild!" Tali's voice wasn't very expressive, but there was a small intonation of awe to accompany the shake of her head. "The rest of Hyrule is already like a whole different world, man, much less the idea that there are different worlds beyond that different world."

"Seems like Hyrule has lots of different regions," Tip agreed. "Have you gotten to travel a lot?"

"Me?" Tali shook her head. "Nah, I think surfing around the deserts enough traveling to satisfy me, but it's interesting, hearing the stories from the others. It's kind of a tradition for some of us, to go exploring the rest of Hyrule, usually in search of a mate. You said your friend's Zora? I've never even seen one of those. We'll get Hylians and Rito and even Gorons, but never Zora out here."

"It's pretty dry out here for them," Tip explained. "I have pictures, though, if you want to see?"

She'd taken several dozen photos on both her camera and her phone on this trip already. Tip was a major shutterbug.

"Pictures?" Tali's head tilted. "Are you an artist or something?"

"I dabble," Tip said. "Have you ever heard of photographs?"
