Your PoV

"It looks like there's a guy sneaking into Gerudo Town with a disguise"

Link: "maybe I can get in that way too"

"What about me? Shouldn't I get a disguise.. just in case they find out? Plus I did kinda only sneak in in my regular clothing"

Link: "why would you need a disguise? You already look like a girl, even your hair has grown longer since we first met. And back then it was already longer than most guys our age"

"It actually was shorter before I got to Hyrul.. our age? How old are you anyway?"

Link: "I.. I can't remember.. I think like 17, 18 maybe. So 118"

"I expected you to say like 15- .. Where did the hundred come from?"

Link: "century of being in the shrine of resurrection"

"I'm not counting those years so I am technically still older. I am 19... I think.. A lot of me has changed to come here so for all I know I could be in my 20s but being in Hyrule makes me a teen again"

Link: "like some complicated time magic? Coool"
He extends the 'oo' sound

"Yeah it is.. here. Put this on"
I hand him the girly outfit I bought in Gerudo town

Link: "y-you are kidding right? This is just pay back for all the teasing"

"Hmm? Oh this? Doesn't my girl buddy wanna wear her girl outfit as she goes to the woman town to help me get back my necklace? And to fulfil our mission to take control of Vah Naboris?"

Link: "please be joking.."

"Swallow your pride and just go with it. I've looked like a girl since I started this whole 'saving the world' business, I'm sure you can handle one outfit"

Link: ".. if you tell anyone about this"

"I promise I won't. Who knows maybe after I can help reward you for your help. I can cook for you all week"

Link: "think of something else and it's a deal.. I like cooking"

"Hmm.. I'll let you.. scratch my cat ears?"

Link: ".. works for me"

We are then seen walking toward Gerudo Town.

Link: "honestly.. It isn't actually that bad. The fabric is quite light and breathable in this weather"

"Plus you look adorable as a girl"

Link: "hehe.. so what all did you see in town when you was there?"

"A few market stalls and I think there was a bar too. I didn't go inside so I'm not sure what it is"

Link: "either way. We have business to attend to first"
He says in a serious voice as if he is making it deeper to sound more intimidating

"..."

Link: "that didn't sound as cool out loud as I intended.."
He nervously chuckles

"No it did not"
I chuckle along with him walking up to a guard

"Excuse me. We need to see your queen.. president? Leader?"

Guard: "you wish to see lady Riju?"

"It is regarding a plan to appease the Devine beast. It is rather important you at least hear us out"

Lady Riju: "so I have been told you both plan on trying to appease the Devine beast that Lady Urbosa once piloted"

Link: "as the hylian champion from 100 years ago I swear we will do everything we can to appe-"

Bodyguard: "there was no Vai hylian champion 100 years ago"

"Well... you see.. Link here is.. now hear me out. I know you don't like men in this city but we promise this is one exception.. he is a guy.. and as am I"

Bodyguard: "a Voe in gerudo town! You both must leave at once or be trespassed"

Lady Riju: "perhaps they speak the truth. Look on his hip. I've I'm not mistaken that is the Sheikah slate from Lady Urbosa's notes"

"It is. I know he could have waited outside.. and in hindsight he probably should have. But if one lone person showed up claiming to be able to tame a mechanical beast but they say they aren't alone. The recently believed to be dead hero of Hyrule is back to help.."

Lady Riju: "this doesn't seem very believable without your proof you present to us. Very well. We shall assist in any way we can. On one condition! The Yiga clan has recently stolen the thunder helm from us while we mourned the loss of my mother. The late Lady of the desert."

Link: "they actually stole something from us.. we sneak in and take back your helmet and his pendant. Seems easy enough. Where do we start"

Bodyguard: "if you are the hylian champion.. then this must be the neko champion. I strongly advise you avoid any and all confrontation from anyone. In fact. She should stay behind"

"I am not leaving Link to risk everything alone. Besides. I am the master of stealth and all things stealth related. I'm like a house cat mixed with an invisible house cat"

Link: "what he means to say is we are a team. Where I go, he goes and vice versa"

Bodyguard: "if she is caught. You risk more than just her capture but her being handed to the despicable King of Gata"

"Who? King of cats? Pshh what could he do? Distract me with some string? A laser pointer"

Link: "we will be careful"
He places a hand on my shoulder to stop my mocking

Link: "we will return with the thunder helm. All we need to know is this. Where is their base and we shall head off straight away"

Again he tries to sound cool by putting on a voice. This time though he makes it sound more dramatic and mysterious rather than gravely and deep

"... ok that time it sounded cool.."
