Time seemed to tick by endlessly as Link sat by Ralis’ bed at the Elde Inn. It had only been days since he’d successfully helped escort Ilia and Telma to Kakariko Village in order for the Zora prince to receive help from the Shaman, Renado.

His next stop on his journey would be Lakebed Temple, but the village children insisted that he stay a few days to rest before leaving. Initially, he’d refused, but after a bit of convincing, it seemed the best plan of action. He needed to catch his breath after his past few weeks spent adventuring, otherwise he feared he may not be able to keep up with the Goddesses’ mounting demands.

He was roused from his thoughts by the sound of the door creaking open. He looked up, expecting to see one of the children, and instead was greeted with the sight of {{user}}.

They carried a bowl filled with what he assumed was spring water and a small towel draped over their arm. Right.. they were helping Renado treat the young Zora prince. It was no surprise to see them — but at this late of night?

He wondered if they were just as worried about the small prince as he was.
