She nods.

"What do you need that you might be willing to take home?"

"Mostly tools and knowledge at this point, I think. We're going to try and build aeroplanes, electric carriages, cotton mills, and the like with what I learned here."

"That does sound useful. You're a bit behind for most of the best stuff. What's the state of the art for medicine in Hyrule?"

"...Healing potions? They don't do much for aging, but most injuries can be worked out easily with some."

"How do those work? Nothing we have is as comprehensive as that sounds."

"I'm not a doctor. You drink healing potions and you eat food, or get fed some soup, and your body grows whole and healthy again."

"I suppose there's less time for curiosity during a Calamity."

"And I'm not a doctor. I'm sure our doctors know much more about the details - I mostly know how to make them."

"That's fair. You must have a lot of responsibilities."

"Indeed. One person can only do so much." She sighs a bit. "Things are getting better. And for all that ordinary people will say about it, I just wish it wasn't so very difficult to run a kingdom sometimes."

"It must be difficult. How does your reincarnation figure into things? In my experience, monarchies are hereditary. You said something about the bloodline of the goddess?"

"Oh, I didn't quite die. And the crown recognized me. Bloodline of the goddess just means I descended from the royal line, which was started by a child blessed by Goddess Hylia with great power."

"Magical crowns seem convenient. You've never had your authority questioned? I suppose the Calamity would count towards that."

"It helped that a few of the oldest people in most places remembered the old king's reign, particularly the Zora. And that I didn't ask for any taxes for the first two years - we used what was left of the treasure halls instead."

"Who are the Zora? Some of your citizens?"

"Yes. They're a race of aquatic people. Fascinating history and culture, very artful. They live much longer lives than Hylians - Easily two hundred and fifty years. The Zora king knows me. He swore fealty to the Hylian crown again and that was that."

"How many kinds of people does your world have? It does sound fascinating."

"In my kingdom, we have Hylians like me, the Zora, the Gorons, the Rito, and the Gerudo - who look and live mostly like Hylians but there are a few key differences. Ah, and Koroks. There are others beyond our borders."

"It must be complicated to please everyone. What are Koroks?"

"Koroks are a sort of forest people. They're... Strange, even by our standards. They're tree-like, small, patient, childishly playful, very very shy, and only a very few people can actually see them."

"Most of our kinds of people are derived from the same basic model, humans."

"Like you? Or me, barring the ears? There are probably more subtle differences, though. The Gerudo are basically like me as well. Taller, stronger, dark skin - And they only ever have female children, they need to find Hylian fathers for them, which makes relations... Interesting." The bad kind of 'interesting', apparently.

"Our variety of people mostly prey on humans, which is part of the issue- kitsune are friendliest, but they can be deadly without being predatory."

"The preying in our case is mostly metaphorical and whipped into hysteria by reactionary women who think some Gerudo stole their boyfriend. I'm not saying there aren't ever rape-flavored - or banditry-flavored - problems with the Gerudo, but they're nowhere near as bad as Mayor Brigham would have you believe, for example. And they're just as often the victims as the perpetrators."

“Less metaphorical in our case, and it’s more that they feed on us, but the violence does go both ways. Is Mayor Brigham a significant problem, politically?”
