We all got out and stared at the Sheikah as she joined us. Link yelled at her :

- WHY HAVE YOU LEFT WITH MY HORSE !

It's the first time I hear Link yelling. His throat is definitely not used to it and his voice was kind of unsteady.

-I... I simply had to get here and had no other way !

Bullsh*t. I replied :

- And what were you doing at Rito Village ?!

- I ran away from the Castle and headed Northern West. Then I had to get back at Kakariko since it calmed down outside.

I took a serious tone :

- Where did you stay all this time ? Tabantha ?

She nodded. I found it suspicious, but she added details such as the fact that Marya, one of the Hylians living there, took care of her, and she had her ankle totally scratched. She showed us and... I guess I'm accepting her explanation.

In the end, Link had his mount back. He could finally bring the other one back and join the group at Hyrule Castle to begin the reparations. For my part, I'd be helped by Purah and Robbie to heal my wing and get to work as fast as possible.

"Thanks for the day, Link. I surely appreciate your help."

He nodded and we shook hands. This is the first time ever.

He left calmly, the second mount by his side. I feel some remorse to leave him by like that... Like something is odd...

*** At Purah's ***

"ARE YOU SERIOUS ?! YOU LET HER DO YOUR HAIR ! ?? MISTER 'I DON'T NEED HELP DON'T TOUCH MEH' GOT HIS HAIR DONE BY THE ZORA PRINCESS !??"

She was laughing so hard I had to tell her to calm down. People around would hear.

- I had no choice, I said. How am I supposed to get braids done with one hand ?

- Fact, but you could've let you hair down, as you like to do.

- Pff. My hair down is ridiculous.

- Then cut it off silly ?

- No. I like it, but attached.

- You're just finding an excuse.

We're both a bit drunk. She convinced me to drink with her as Robbie is fixing up the last few things left to do on the new plaster for my wing. We're drinking Sake, but I'm not a huge fan especially compared to her. Visibly, she loves it way too much for what it is. I would've preferred some Lurelin Rhum of something like the Tabantha Maple Cream. But I take a few sips here and there and it's alright.

She smacks my arm and says : "Yo ! That girl from earlier... !"

- The Fortuneteller ?

- YEAH ! She looks SO WEIRD !

- You think ? To be honest, she creeps the peck out of me.

- ME TOO ! Apparently, she grew up in the castle with her father who was a tactician or I don't know. A family of 'foreseekers' or something like that. She never really went out of the Castle, except for coming around here on festivities.

- And her Father ?

- Dead. He got sick around the same time Zelda's mother passed away. Weird huh ? He died, and few weeks later she... Well you know.

- Huh, quite strange...

- Yep.
