"It is, unfortunately the tech to fly that high isn't something a person can carry. I can teleport if I know where I'm going, probably. There are some constraints to my teleportation that make it hard to use effectively on a planet's surface."

"Hm. I guess we'll have to use horses. Or maybe I can scare up a second glider for you, it's useful sometimes."

"Apparently they sell them in the village, I haven't bought one yet not having very much local currency. Before you showed up I was thinking of going scavenging to find more salable products."

"Yeah, scaring up ingredients is good money. Treasure hunting too. Lots of abandoned places. I actually cook up the ingredients into useful magic stuff though, you kinda need it for tough fights."

"I have noticed that some of the food has magical properties, I haven't experimented with the matter though."

"You probably want to earn some money. I'm leery of spending mine on you unless it's crystal clear you're going to be useful."

"Fair enough, if there are guardians closer I could run my experiments now? I'm pretty sure I can take one down without too much difficulty and I got the impression that their parts are valuable."

"...If you insist, the nearest Guardians are about half a day's hike south of here. Watching a mountain pass - I climbed the cliffs rather than fight 'em, but a fast horse can get past too."

"Do you want to take the detour with me or should I meet you in the village in a day or two?"

"I could do a detour. Ganon's defeat is not urgent on a scale of hours. Even if things will be a lot neater when he's gone."

"Alright, give me a minute to pack up." He busies himself refolding his solar panels. "Lead the way then. I can run pretty fast so I can probably keep up."

About face. "Afraid of heights?"

"Not really no, why do you ask?"

"There's a pretty rickety high bridge with a really gorgeous view along the way."

"Ah, that sounds fun."

"As long as you don't cuccko out when you see it..."

"That metaphor didn't translate, but I don't expect to suddenly become afraid."

"Cuccko are cowardly livestock birds. Stay behind me if we run into monsters, okay? Not likely if we use the trail, but..."

"Sure, can do."

She starts jogging back the way she came, singing what seem to be folk songs again.

zabna easily keeps up with her. The songs and the landscape are pretty.

They first proceed up a long upward slope covered in grass and a few saplings."What exactly does your institute study anyway? Everything?"

"Pretty much yeah. The full name is The Starlight Institute for Advancing Studies. There is some focus on science and technology but the history department isn't neglected just not as heavily emphasized."

"Sure sounds fancy. I bet Purah would like to talk about it."

"Who's that?"
