"Wait and see, wait and see. I don't even remember who Impa is, but... Best lead I've got."

"I'm not usually very patient. But if that's the best we got, then there's not much we can do."

"I've only been awake for three days you know. Haven't had time to get impatient yet."

"I keep forgetting. I know I wouldn't be happy to be missing most of my memories, even if I only had three days of wakefulness."

"I've got bits and pieces... I have a sense of self despite lacking probably quite a lot of context. So, yeah."

The road splits and they go over a bridge and they meet and dispatch another small band of monsters on this path into a canyony area. They're really not very formidable at all.

"The lack of blood is very convenient." Rai says after they dispatch the monsters. "I'm used to having to smell like blood and death."

"Maybe being made mostly of magic lets Ganon make more of them more easily?"

"Perhaps. Whatever the reason, I'm glad for it. Though, now that I think of it, there were creatures that were just like you said. Mostly magic, they didn't bleed either."

"Huh. Your world sounds kind of messier in a lot of ways actually."

"I can't deny that. Magic runs wild, monsters roam free. The little civilization that remains are mostly small towns trying to not succumb to monsters and/or wild magic. There are a few larger factions, but they want to control people, not help them. It's a mess, and I have no idea what I can do about it."

"...The world is difficult. I kind of want to suggest training people to defend themselves? Except they're already doing that, and maybe some of them end up fighting each other if you train more people. I don't really know enough about it."

"There are already people trying to use militia groups to seize power. It's ugly. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix it, but I have few allies and resources. So for now I just try to put down fires as I find them. Unfortunately, my world is a blazing inferno, so I'm pretty busy."

"Maybe you need a magic royal crown like we have. Or a goddess. If there's an authority that most everyone recognizes... Maybe they can do some mean things, but at least people aren't killing each other all ther time?"

"Unfortunately, we already have someone who wants to become a god. They also don't care how many people have to die in order to do it, and I'm not sure they will actually fix anything. I'm trying to get to the seven magical forces that they want to use before they can try."

"So maybe we are really lucky for having Hylia. I don't have any more suggestions right now... I'm not sure if you can even get home anyway."

"I'll find a way home somehow. For all I know, Vys can get me home but hasn't yet."

"That's the spirit!"

"There's no point in worrying."

"Yep. Just keep moving forward. And plan your next move intelligently and with kindness but, eh, that corrupts the simplicity of the motivational phrase a bit."

"In my experience, life is rarely simple. I'd rather have the complex truth than a simple lie. In any case I appreciate the encouragement."

"Uh huh. I think we're only like two hours out from the village now."

"We're making good pace then."

"Well to be fair it's like lunchtime. Time flies when you're traveling on your own two feet."

"That's fair. "

Rai chuckles softly.

"When do you want to stop for lunch?"

"May as well be now."
