I don't think being dropped into a lake is very much of a welcome.

[The speaker is currently soaked to the bone, apparently not having thought to go dry out before using the orb he's gotten. Thankfully, the clip in his hair is keeping most of it out of his face, drowned rat look or not, and his dragonfly is making odd little melodic tones behind him.]

So, I took a look through the Guidebook... and it seems I'm here for a specific reason. A "fixing of a magical drain" or something like that? Does anyone else have any more information on that? It's kind of vague, and I generally mucked about with cards more than anything.

[While it's true in multiple forms, Chou carefully omits the fact they were magical cards.]

...Also, somewhere I could dry off and maybe get a change of clothes would be nice too. At least until mine dry out.

There's no one to talk to to learn more from, is there?

[nofairy]

Some of the dragons have been helpful, but not too much.

[He's used to operating on little information, though.]

[childofblue]

At least they aren't attempting to stop us at every turn?

[nofairy]

Eheh. There's that, at least.

I'm Link, by the way.

[childofblue]

Chou is mine. It's a pleasure to meet you, Link-san.

[nofairy]

... san?

[childofblue]

It's an honorific, something I address you with to show respect for you. Since you're older than me and we don't know each other well, I use "-san".

[nofairy]

I'm... ah... probably not older than you, actually.

[childofblue]

Well, there's an easy way to tell. How old are you?

[nofairy]

Um... I think... I'm about nine or ten summers old. When I pulled the Master Sword out of its pedestal though, I slept for seven years.

[childofblue]

[Summers? That's a weird way to say years, but after that...]

Hm... that would be... 16 or 17. I'm 16 myself, so we're a lot closer to the same age... -kun would be better, then, I think. It's how we address males near our age range.

[nofairy]

[He had to count them okay.]

Um... okay?

[childofblue]

...Ah, I'm sorry. It's probably confusing, right? It's just a thing that's done in my world, where we refer to people with those honorifics. If it bothers you, I can drop it.

[nofairy]

Ah, I - sorry, I don't want to be rude or something...

[childofblue]

No, it's all right! Even different countries have different things they're comfortable with, so it makes sense that different worlds would too.

I can just call you "Link."

[nofairy]

... Thanks. I've always just been more comfortable with people calling me Link...

[Bullying sucks. :( ]
