So I don't forget again

Entry 194: Goron City

I was finally able to wrestle today without instantly falling over! I have to fight a bit differently than most others do, even with finally being able to stay standing I'm still not all that bigger, stronger, or taller. I have to be fast, make quick little jabs, and dodge just about any attack I can, even if it is rather difficult with the boots.

Another thing about the boots, I have to be extremely careful when taking them off. Even with the inside made safe for me, a part of my hand touched the metal on the outside and it got burnt, badly. I think if I touch it for long enough my flesh would melt. I need to be careful with these things around here.

Goron training is done in a more round about way. They have many sports and each one focuses on building strength in will, arms, legs, things like that. As for a fighting form they don't exactly have a set one, but from their training everyone develops rather similar ones. Speaking in the most basic of levels, their form is a mixture of sword like techniques and using hammers or pickaxes, which makes sense since just about everyone has gone mining at least once, if not more. So something like a club, or claymore but much, much... weightyer? I'm not sure what word works here.

As for me, I guess I need to work on arm and leg strength, if I can get as strong as a Goron then I'll have to come up with a work around like I did for wrestling.

Bossa Bova has gotten rather miffed being forced to stay in town. He always bucks me now when I see him, he'll soon stop, but still. The climbing training area isn't close to lava, maybe I can bring him when I go training there or for walks so he can stretch his legs. He probably sees me as being mean, keeping him cooped up in here, and I shouldn't punish him for following me, even if it is dangerous. I really do appreciate him following me, him WANTING to follow me. I'll just have to keep a very close eye on him when we go out. And stay away from any danger or clear the path before he takes it. Maybe keeping him close would also place me at ease.

Yunobo told me I've been very tense the whole time I was here. I seem different, a bit more talkative, but also... distant, like I'm distracted by something, or my mind keeps wandering off. He actually thought initially that was why I kept losing at wrestling without the iron boots before. A part of me is always scared about Bossa Nova being here. And I'll have Yunobo with me too, surely he can also protect Bossa Nova when I fail. But surely through this training I'll get better and I can protect Bossa Nova!
