"The shopkeeper at one of the stores in Rito says she knows who makes her stuff, but she also said they didn't want to talk to customers."

Shrug. "Bet bribery could fix that!"

"If you want to try that feel free, I am sadly lacking in currency at the moment."

"Yeaaah I don't have enough to go spending it on nothing either. Stay sharp, Lizals like places like this." They have progressed from grassy slopes to a path that seems to have been partially carved out from a craggy large hill/small mountain.

"Will do." He looks at his HUD, are there any around?

Yep! Three or four. Only one directly in their way.

He passes this information on to Link.

Sigh. "Well, let's get this over with, eh? You know how to use a bow?"

"I've never learned, what parts of the Lizals do you need intact?"

"Horns, claws, tails, their weapons would be nice." She draws a sword and a crude-looking shield and advances, looking for where the Lizalfos has hidden itself.

zabna reconfigures his arm to expose one of his lasers and follows. From the outside the laser likely looks like a blue tinged cylinder extending a bit above his wrist and appearing to emerge from inside his arm through his sleeve.

And the fight is on! She dodges the Lizal's lunge from hiding, deflecting its spear off her shield. "Oh great it's a black one. Tough bastards, black ones!" She lunges back at it, but it jumps back before she lands a blow.

He tries to bobble unimportant areas but the generator reports a suppressor field is in effect. He powers up his laser and brief bursts of blue light sear into the Lizal's head at least one striking it directly in an eye.

The Lizalfos screams in pain and tumbles over backward. "Gyaah!" Link spins and brandishes the sword at him. "-Stop being surprising! That looked almost like a Guardian beam!"

"Sorry, I should have warned you. It's resistant to my usual weapon so I had to switch to a backup."

The monster stands back up, roaring, and charges again. Link turns to it without saying anything, dodges the next stab and dashes in, a blur of motion too fast to be normal, and nearly cuts its head off. Then she stabs it another half a dozen times almost as quick. This time it stays down.

She takes a few deep breaths. "Okay so. That happened. No harm done."

"You can move pretty fast. I think I might be able to use a sword effectively, I'd need a bit of time to practice otherwise I'm mostly using my lasers, the blue beam, and bobbles, the silver spheres, where they work."

"Huff. Yeah, I get like - adrenaline rushes, sometimes? Where everything seems to be moving slower. Guess I'm actually faster. Maybe that's the gold magic you saw. We should maybe practice coordinating if we're going to travel together for very long. I haven't fought with other people helping for a while."

"Yeah that makes sense."

"Anyway, let's keep going." She extracts the relevant Lizalfos parts efficiently, and with a pulse of magic the Slate's inventory picks them up.

"Sure thing. Neat trick."

"Yeah, the Slate is super super handy."

"It looks it."

"Let's keep going. We're close to that bridge I wanted to show off. Wanna learn some songs?"

"Sure, I don't have much practice singing but I have a pretty good memory so I'll at least be able to hold onto the words."
