[Totally locked from Bob for future lulz.]

[dissonates]

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm Asch.

[.....Does he have to explain more?]

...Guy mentioned me the other day.

[More?]

...Don't feel obligated to talk to me just because he asked.

[Maybe that was too much.]

....I'll try to be friendly if you do, though.

[Wait that came out wrong.]

....Right.

[That should do it.]

Comments

My bad, sorry >_>

[dissonates]

Princess? Guy mentioned something about you coming over for dinner.

Pfft no issue. I was just amused

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

I had made plans for something of the sort, yes.

[dissonates]

If you're still interested, it's fine with me.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

I must say that I am. It is high time I mastered a dish outside of my people's, after all.

[dissonates]

What's wrong with what your people eat?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

I have been told it is not to your tastes in the least. And I confess Link might well grow tired of it.

[dissonates]

[There's only one thing he can recall hating, so...] ...Fish?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Precisely. We Zora are the people of the lakes and waters.

[dissonates]

Is that why you look so- [...Crap how to say this without being insulting.] ...Different?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

[...Asch, I think that the nicest way that anyone has ever put it (in Luceti anyway). Ruto nods approvingly, and gives one of those smiles there]

Yes, we are quite different from any other tribe represented here. The closest one I have come across to us are the Ferines, but even they more closely resemble Hylians... or well, humans, I suppose.

[dissonates]

[He's amazed he didn't insult her horribly. But he was supposed to be a king, so they ought to get along a little. :|]

So you live in the water?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

We used to live in Lake Hylia, yes, but we now reside in the Zora Domain. Much of our time is spent in the waters, but now-a-days a great deal is on land as well. I should think there is a... relative balance.

[dissonates]

It shouldn't really matter as long as you're satisfied with it.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Precisely. I believe that most of our people are quite content with our relative isolation.

[...Pause though. No a single Zora is here, so...]

[dissonates]

It's one way to avoid trouble, anyway. Most people are afraid of what's different from them.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Truly. Many other tribes in Hyrule can get quite hostile in the right situation. ...Though. [A pause. She considers saying "there are some things one must fight for" but thinks better of it. So she ends with a snort]

[dissonates]

...Hm. [He hates when other pry, so he won't return the favour.] So if you're the princess, your father rules the Zora, right?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Yes. My pop - [...That was a slip, she pauses, and then corrects herself] esteemed father is indeed the king of the Zora.

[dissonates]

[Interesting.] My uncle is the king of my homeland, as well.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Ah, do you hold some title which I should be using then? [...Because to her, titles are your bond to your people]

[dissonates]

No. I'm just Asch now. [He's not even fussy about his God-General title, orz.]

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Very well then. [She figures there's probably some story there, and while she is curious and a bit flabbergasted by the guy denying a title, she'll keep diplomatic. For now. The guy showed her respect so he gets it back, or something]

Can you tell me about that kingdom?

[dissonates]

[Gold star for Ruto. Prying rights are reserved for close friends, but she has potential.]

If you want to know. It makes up just under half of the world's land mass - the other kingdom, Malkuth, and two neutral territories take up the rest of it - and it's spread out over several continents and islands. There's numerous cities and villages spread out over the lands, and we travel mostly by boats and landships, fueled by fontech. ...Guy could tell you more about that, though.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

[She listens to that ans gets so many questions flying through her head, but towards the end she can't help but ping on the most odd thing he mentioned:]

A landship?

[dissonates]

Do you have vehicles in the world you're from?
