Tamara:

Oh boy was she excited! There was a moment to rest in between adventures and working on rebuilding her shack and what better way to have a moment of rest than soaking in water! And with a bunch of good friends too, she assumed, no way people are going to pass an opportunoity to visit the hot springs. "Well this looks plesant, much more well organized than i expected i must say!" She said with a smile on her face as she passed the entrance. "I think its going to be quite fun and relaxing dont you thinkg Sora?" She turned to her Zora companiion.


Sora:

Someone could see stars in Sora's eyes right now. She never went into a hot spring before, and was excited since the day they decided to go into one, and don't even try to hide it! The though of being able to spend a whole day to rest alongside her trusted friends was just great, and she certainly wish to enjoy it as much as possible.

"Oh yeah Tama! It's gonna be much! And I hope it's organized, I feel like there are more people than excited, not that I mind, let's just not get lost okay?" She added, before wrapping her arm around Tama's to be sure.


Laraine:

Usually Laraine was all for the invitations to relax but she was a little trepadatious as weapons were not allowed on site. She left her weapons at home but it didn't make her any less cautious. Oh well, nothing bad should happen here. Upon leaving the changing room- not like she was dressing into anything- she stepped outside and took a breath of the nice humid air. She caught a glimpse of Sora and Tamara and felt her heart leap in her chest. Good, all her friends were here, and they weren't looking for her in some ancient desert temple she had been captured in. She approached the two with a gleeful smile, her face actually visible without her mask. "Hey guys... Or girls now." She teased, looking at Sora.



Tamara:

The pirate giggled hearing and seeing how excited Sora was to enjoy the little time of relaxation. "Let's not waste any time then and get going, i just want to soak in that hot water already!" She said gently pulling fishgirl towards the changing room. Her smile got even wider when she saw another friend. "Hi there! Good to see you Laraine! I guess there was much more people wanting to catch some relax than i expected!" she said. "Let's go change and finlly get into the water am i right?"

Sora:

Sora just let herself being pulled by Tamara. It was certainly faster than if she had to go there by herself, considering how much of an awwww she is about this place. The though of going in a girl changing room was weird but... That's how it is now right? On their way, Laraine went to great her and....
"Oh hi Laraine! No mask today? I guess it's better this considering the place..." That's when she noticed that... Well let's say their friends is in her most confortable outfit now. It made Sora's blush to watch it.


Laraine:

"Hey, I already got dressed. Zora don't reveal much so I don't need a swimsuit. Still got my clothes with me regardless so I can leave not freezing cold." Laraine joked, gesturing to the changing room behind her as she carried her purple and blue clothes tucked in her arms. "Here's to hoping no one takes my clothes today. A thief is ever cautious." She said with a smile, knowing it was hard for her to shake the thought of someone stealing from her. Hopefully everyone here was nicer than that. "Can't swim in a mask, Sora. You should know from when you got it soaked last time." She said, giggling at the memory as Tamara pulled the Zora into the changing room. "I'll wait out here for you two!"


Tamara:

"Oh yeah...if it was so easy for me!" Tamara laughed hearing Laraines claim about Zora dressing habits..."Give me a moment, it wojn't take long, you can wait for me in the water!" She said, getting her Zora tunic tied in a way that revealed her stomach, and taking off her pants, leaving only swimming shorts." All right! Im not sure about you but im ready!" She said, unable to maintain her excitement anymore. " Let's not loose time LAST IN WATER IS A ROTTEN EGG!!!" She shouted and without waiting for anyone run into the nearest spring with a poretyt big splash. "Ah yes this is what i needed!"


Sora:

"You... Got a point here Laraine..." Sora commented about Laraine's reply. True she is used of seeing zoras in their more natural outfit, but seeing Laraine like this is... Well something else? "A... Anywyay! I have my swim suit and I change to it quickly!" Said Sora while following Tamara. The zora quickly went into her outfit, and following Tamara to the spring.
"Be careful not to fall!" She yelled seeing her running into the pool. She then waved at Laraine. "Let's join her and make sure she doesn't hurt herself again!" Sora said before quickly rushing and jumping into the water, just next to where Tamara is actually standing.


Laraine:

"Find some weird magic that makes it so that you can become a feesh like us." Laraine replied to Tamara with a smile before waiting for Sora and Tamara to get dressed. She smiled at Sora's shyness around her, even if the blue Zora was a girl now, she was still the Sora she first knew. She watched the two come back out and turned to the two before Tamara suddenly booked it for the pool. "Hey! No fair! You get a headstart!" She said before looking at Sora. "I'm not a rotten egg today!" She said before chasing after Tama and jumping into the pool after the Gerudo. Once she surfaced, she let out a relaxed sigh. "Oh that feels so much better than Lake Hylia. I may never go back." She said, casually swimming around.


Tamara:

As she waited for her fishy companions to join her in the water, she sat herself down in one of the springs and made herself comfy to relax. "Oh i see you got your swimsuit!" she said once Sora joined her. "Looks nice on you...tho i thought you would just go...you know...Zora style?" She said to her, not really realizing how awkward that question might be.


Sora:

In the end, Sora was the last to reach the pool, Laraine and Tamara were just faster at running than her apparently. Oh well that's how it is isn't it? "Well, apparently I'm the rotten egg stuff?" She commented with a smile, just appreciating the water around! After a sight, she just calmed down and appreciated the water, laying her back against the wall... And blushing at Tamara's question, making her instinctly cover her chest with her arms. "I... Hesitated, but I didn't felt... Confortable enough because of... You know... She slowly turned away her head a little as she spoke.


Laraine:

Laraine laughed playfully after Sora had entered the pool and was effectively deemed the rotten egg. "Hey, rotten has never looked prettier." She said, complimenting the Zora to help her be more comfortable in her body. She looked at Tamara at her question and bit her lip. On one hand the Gerudo was right as Sora normally went around nude but Laraine knew the zora had yet to adjust. She let Sora asnwer before moving in to finish for Sora. "What he- Sorry, still getting used to that. What he's trying to say is he's still getting used to his new feminine assets. You'll get used to them soon, Soraie." She said, giving her a friendly smile before turning back to Tamara.


Tamara:

"Oh...sorry! I get it, don't worry if this makes you feel more comfourtable then be it! I already said you look pretty no matter what you wear! "She said, only now realizing how her question must have affected Sora's feelings. "Oh the water is so nice and warm! I don't know about you but im loving it already!" She said trying to change the subject into something more plesant.


Sora:

The zora felt kinda embarassed hearing again Laraine saying how Sora is cute. She guessed she was pretty but still, it was always weird to hear. Becuase of that she started to go slowly deeper into the water, to the point only half of her head was sticking out of it. She heard how Laraine was trying to explain to Tamara her situation again, and felt weird hearing male pronoms again. "Hey Laraine? It's okay I'm a woman now, I accepted that much, now I just need to get used to it." Sora said while coming out of the water. "Anywya! Wanna swim a little? It would be good to stretch out a little!" She added, wishing for her friends to think about something else.


Laraine:

The Thief was glad that Tamara understood Sora and was even gladder for the change in subject. No need to dwell on that! Time to move on! "Agreed! So much better than anything I have ever swam in. Were it not for my own personal life I may just stay here forever." Laraine joked, not at all meaning it. Sure it was nice and warm and as a Zora, she could stay but she enjoyed her past time too much... And one couldn't help the Resistance from a small spring... Speaking of which. "So there are a lot of people here. Some I don't recognize... Well that's a given since I don't know all the resistance members but some don't look resistancey if you catch my meaning." Laraine said, looking around at everyone before turning to Sora. "Oh I know, Sora. But you're not the only one still getting used to that. Don't forget I was trapped in a temple for a week so this is still new for me." Laraine said with a shy smile as she scratched the back of her head. "Anyway, yeah! Let's swim around! See if Tamara can keep up with born swimmers!" Laraine said teasingly before diving into the water and waving her back legs under the water to move further and faster.


Tamara:

She was all too excited to soak in water let alone have a swim , especially with her fishy friends. "Oh don't think i can't catch up! I lived alongside Zoras for a long while so im not as bad as you think!" She said, even tho she was pretty sure she would not be able to be any better than either one of her fishy friends. But she could at least put her quite impressive for a Gerudo skills to the test! She wasted no time and started to race towards Laraine as well as fast and swiuftly as she could move in water


Sora:

Sora listent to Laraine, and nodded at what she said about the water. "Well, I guess that after deciding to live together forever on an island, a super good hotspring is the next logical decision". She teased her about one of her previous teasing. However she had to let slide the comment about the others in the water? She didn't payed much attention to it, and wasn't sure where Laraine was going with it. However, she did blush a little. "It's true I never really though about the others must adjust to it? You have accepted me so naturally like this. Sorry". But before falling back down, Sora motivated herself for the swim! "Alright! Let's see who is the fastest! Don't try you can keep up Tamara! You didn't reached me when we met!" Technically she did but because of a rock so Sora let it slide, before swimming as fast as possible alongside Laraine! No way she was gonna let Tamara reach them!


Tamara:

Tho she tried her best to keep up a fast pace she obviously had no chance with Zoras. But she didn't want to give up so she pushed herself as much as she could to swim fast and at least keep a close distance


Laraine:

"Ah but you have never raced one who needs speed for her job... Okay you probably have but it doesn't change my determination!" Laraine replied to Tamara with a triumphant smile, but stopped for a moment to talk to Sora. "Oh right, forgot about that. Hey my offer still stands on that~." She said with a smile at the mention of the island. Good times... Also bad, but mostly good! "No worries, buddy. I'm willing to accept ya, no matter what crazy magic transforms you... Unless it's a cake. Then i am not sure I can save you." She joked with a laugh before taking off in the water. Ah to have the entirety of the nice warm water draped around you as you swam enveloped in it was an amazing feeling. Even if she was racing it felt good to be in the warm water. She looked around her as she swam and noticed Sora keeping pace with her. She would speed up but she was already worried abut hitting someone as they swam so she resisted the urge to speed up and go ramming speed into someone. She looked behind her to see Tamara struggling to keep up and slowed herself down to keep pace with the pirate. "We need to get you some synthetic flippers. i could see you speeding along with something like those." Laraine commented, keeping her face above water so Tama could understand her.


Sora:

"Well I think we should talk about that plan at Tamara first or she might not accept that we do that deal without her" She commented with a chuckle, appreciating how Laraine get back the teasing with another one, and blushing seeing how she was so nice and understanding about the whole transformation stuff she did. Since Sora had a little more difficulties to swim fast than Laraine, she couldn't look behind as much as her to see how Tamara was doing. She could hear her swimming behind, but not calculate the distance much. However, considering the comments she hear, she was doing fine! Which didn't surprised Sora, Tamara has always been good at swimming


Tamara:

"Oh come on! It's not that bad isn't it?" she shouted towards thew Zoras in front of her laughing while she tried her best to keep her head above water while she swam fast. "But if you figure out a way to get me fins and flippers i wouldn't mind!"


Lariane:

"She can join us! I am sure she wouldn't mind living on an island surround by Zora! Makes me wonder why she hasn't set up shop in Zora's Domain yet!" She said, half talking to Sora and half calling back to Tamara as they talked. When she swam back to swim with the Gerudo Pirate, she smiled at her reply and literally began swimming circles around as she talked to the pirate. "Oh you're not bad! You probably swim better and faster than most people here. You are up against Zora's though. You'll never be able to catch us if you can't swim as fast!" Laraine said, joking about the possibility of Tamara capturing all her fish friends. "If I find someone who can construct quality swimming tools I will let you know." She said with a smile before swimming alongside Tamara.


Sora:

"Ah ah true! She certainly would enjoy this place, especially if we are all around her! And I don't know, I asked her, but apparently... Well she has troubles with zoras?" To be fair she knew why, but did felt like it wasn't up for her to answer the questions about her friend 's past. As they are swimming, Sora was getting more used to the rythm, and start to look more at how Tama was doing, and indeed, she was doing great! Especially for a none Zora! And now Sora was getting more curious on how to help her getting faster. "I will need to see if there are not some special zora equipement who can help on that. I would be surprised if some friends to the zora race didn't tried to creat this kind of stuff".


Tamara:

"Oh you guys are way too nice!" She said with a giggle. "Who would have thought i would get my Zora artifacts from friends at some point and not...well in less ernest ways like i did in the past!" she said laughing loudly about how much her relationship with her favourite race changed recentloy. She couldn't help but be glad at the turn of events in the end.


Laraine:

"I do not doubt it! Probably a dream come true for her!" Laraine said with a laugh before swimming back to Tamara, choosing not to ask anymore about Tama's past. It was rude to talk about someone right in front of them. "What if we tied a rope to Sora and you held on to the other end while she pulled you around? I've heard of other Zora pulling boats up river so it's not like we can't pull a human... Ergh, Gerudo." Laraine said, giggling as she corrected herself. "Not a permanent solution but a good temporary one until we can get you the appropriate gear. Sora is right, someone is bound to have tried to copy a Zora's abilities, though the best from what I've seen is some Zoran tunic that let's humans breath underwater." She commented as she swam. As she swam, she was more focused on paying attention to how Tama was swimming that she wasn't focused on what was in front of her and as a result, she suddenly felt something soft but hard hit her head as she swam as she accidentally bumped into Eviel without knowing. 'Ow! What did I-? Oh shoot! I am sorry! I didn't mean to hit you!" Laraine quickly apologized to the human she ran into, hoping she didn't hurt him too badly.


Eviel:

"What just happenned?" He thought to himself, he saw the deku and the demon talking, "are they talking about me? Maybe I should apologize? But what would I say?" Eviel was so focused thinking about that, he didn't notice the zora who hit him. That bump made Eviel get disorientated, without knowing what to do.


Cocoa:

Late as always when it comes to these things, a little birdie told her about the hot spring that everyone was at and not that she didn't mind making friends. She could use some. She wore a one piece bathing suit that was a bright pink and blue with with see through pink ruffles on it. She had her hair pulled back into the bun. Upon arriving at the entrance of the hot spring she looked around. So many faces. She wonder if her friends were there.


Tamara:

"That would be mighty awsome!" She said back to laraine but anohter thing cought her eye. "Lara watch where you're swimming..." she said but it happened to be too late and her Zora friend crashed into another person. Tama couldnt help but laugh. "Ahhahahaha wow! That was priceless! Well good swimming abbilities dont matter much if youre not lookingwhere youre going!" she said, she just couldnt help herself. Finally she had an opportunity to tease Laraine right back!


Sora :

"It certainly would be! We need to talk to her about this once we finished that swimming, just to see how she would react to it!". Sora then continued to hear Laraine speaking to Tama... And did found their idea strange. She would not mind helping Tamara in any way, but seriously, said like that, their plan just sounded weird. "Well I... Would not mind? But seriously don't say think like this in that way, people might not well interepret this!" She replied, blushing a little. However she just nooded about the Zora accessories, they need to exist. While they were swimming, Laraine suddenly bumped someone who were in the way, since Sora was just behind her and didn't had the time to react, she ended up bumping into Laraine as well! The shock did hurt his head pretty well, and it took her some time to get back at her senses. "Oh geez... Well I guess we could expect this to happen in a place like this! Sorry abotu that! Are you both okay?"


Laraine:

The Zora thief wasn't sure what else to say and Tamara laughing wasn't helping. Sure, Laraine would have done the same in her place so she wasn't mad but it did make her more embarrassed about the situation as a whole. She couldn't even reply to Sora's thought about Laraine jokingly talking about tying up Sora and having her pull Tamara. It was a living, she had seen other Zora's do it for their businesses. No shame in it, but she couldn't point this out to Sora as she was too embarrassed to just try and shift the attention away from the guy she just ran over. When Sora bumped into her after Laraine apologized, the thief found herself getting pushed into Eviel once again and now Laraine could feel her defenses shattering as she began to blush now. "Oh I'm sorry about that! It's very hard to stop or control anything once in the deep end." She said, knowing there was no ground beneath them to become their brakes. "Are you alright?" She asked, starting to get shy about all this as the situation was only getting worse.


Cocoa:

She shrugs and just walks on out there. Not much to say to a bunch of people. She haven't seen this many people since Skyloft's celebration of everyone getting knighted. She simply took a seat in the water and wave to be friendly. Time to park it and relax.


Tamara:

Now finally having the time to catch up with the rest. She still giggled about the whole situation but she was there to help. "You guys all right? From my perspective the collission was pretty bad! For once im glad i am the slower swimmer!" She said, maybe a bit snarky but all in good intention, to lift the spirit a little. " You okj kid?" She asked Eviel not really sure how he would deal with it at te moment.


Eviel:

"NO I DID S-" Said, replying to the question Tamara and Lanaire made without noticing they were talking about their incident. "Oh, I mean, yes, luckily I'm ok. I mean, it's not your fault, accidents happen, that's why they're accidents." Said, trying to make the zora feel better. "That happens when you get in the middle of the pool, you can get hit, it was something that could happen and it did, nothing to worry about" He replied nervously, trying to excuse her but not knowing how. "I mean, at least I know how to swim, if I didn't you'd have a reason to worry, so... Nevermind" -Oh, no, what was that?- He thought, so he started to swim back to Aiden and Willow slowly


Sora:

Sora took a little moment to rest from the colision. It was quite a mess honestly. Bumping into friends was already awkward enough, so to bump into strangers is even worst. At least apparently everyone is doing alright! "It's our fault seriously, we shouldn't have swam that fast in this kind of small poll! So sorry about that!" Since things has calmed down, Sora casually looked around the place, and noticed something with bright colour she would recognize everywhere. "Hey! Cocoa?" She asked, waving at her so she can noticed her from far away


Cocoa:

The girl was almost half asleep then zoned out with her eyes closed until she heard someone call her name. She sat up and yawned. "Yes? Did you need a ride to jump into the lake too for your perfect dive?" She asked while looking at her. She blinked then she waved. "Hello. Sorry. I am just out there." She chuckled.


Lariane:

Laraine was glad when Tamara finally came to her support after laughing her head off, she needed the back up right now as she was not sure how to handle this type of situation. She jumped when he raised his voice and was about to get defensive when he relaxed and began talking about what just happened. Good, he must have been referring to something else at the beginning. At the mention of kid by Tamara, Laraine did notice this man was quite young looking. Granted she wasn't an expert on the human aging process but she could tell he had less experience than most. She chose not to comment on this. "Yeah, accidents happen. Though honestly the danger in pools like this is usually low. Though no one counts on the Zoras." She said with a chuckle. At least he appeared as nervous as she was so she was trying to lighten the mood with some jokes. "If you didn't know how to swim i would certainly be worried about why you're in the deep part of the pool. Fortunately us Zora's make really good life guards since we can breath underwater and swim really good." She said, poking some fun at their actual life guards. She and Sora could do their jobs in their sleep. She saw Sora go off to talk to someone named Cocoa but she kept her attention on this guy. "So, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" She asked, curious and she wanted to make the situation less awkward by getting to know him.


Sora:

Oh Cocoa noticed her! That's good! At least she didn't mistake her with somebody else!
"Oh that would be pretty fun! But maybe not this time, there are too many people here, and I already got into an accident today" She replied a little embarassed! "Anyway, wanna come? My friends are here too!" She added, showing her hands as an invitation to Cocoa to join

Cocoa:

She sat up while taking her hand. "How could I refuse an invation from a friend. I would love to meet your friends. I hope they won't be scared away by the pink and blue..." She said feeling a little nervous. She did stick out like a white rose among a bunch of red roses.


Tamara:

"Hey, everything all right?" She said as Eviel was getting further away. Did she say something wrong? Was he offended by her calling himk a kid? "Ok that got awkward quickly...i mean MORE awkward..." she said looking at Laraine in confusion.


Sora :

The Zora took the Skyloftian hand and bring her to her friends. "I'm glad to hear that, and... I don't know? But what I know is that if they mind it, I might scolde them, others shouldn't be bothered by that."  That being said, Sora did guide Cocoa to Tamara and Laraine. And with a little chance, it might change the subject from the accident.
"Tamara, Laraine! Let me introduce you to Cocoa! Cocoa, this is Tamara" Said while pointing at the Pirate, "and Laraine" She added while showing the nakked zora lady. 


Eviel:

"I don't..." He said looking at Aiden, then looking back at the girls, "You don't..." Eviel didn't know what to say, and having two conversations at the same time was even worse. -We had an accident, but there's no problem, I'm Eviel, nice to meet you!- he knew the words but his mouth only babbled. "You... had an accident... I mean WE..." Then he turned back to Aiden again, "They... are coming... I've hurted them I think?" He said, "daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!" He shouted, suddenly.


Tamara:

As she was called by Sora she quickly lost interest in the strange young boy...he was fine for sure, he didn't drown so he can take care of himself. "Why hello there!" She said happily as she was introduced to a new friend. "The Name's Tamara, as Sora already told you! Nice to meet a new friend!"

Laraine:

She wasn't sure how much conversation she could get outta this guy and he seemed too nervous to even talk to them and, like Tamara, she could see him slowly inching away from them. "Maybe we should just let him go?" Laraine whispered to Tamara, not sure how to deal with this awkward situation. Fortunately, her attention was diverted when Sora came back with another person she was unfamiliar with. Hopefully this person would be more keen for conversation. She let Sora introduce her and Tamara before bowing her head in response. "Pleasure to meet you, Cocoa." She said with a smile. She then turned back to Eviel and raised an eyebrow at him, unsure of what to make of his random stuttering as he looked back and forth between her and Tama and some other dude she didn't know. She flinched when he suddenly shouted before looking back at Cocoa. "Okay, you clearly have you're own... Issues. So I'll leave you to it." Laraine said, getting the hell out of that situation before turning back to Cocoa and Sora.


Cocoa:

"It is very nice to meet you all! i haven't met to many people since I left Skyloft." She said while looking at them all as she smiled. When she tilted her head, the bell in her make a small sound. "What do you all do down here?" She was fairly curious on how things worked on the world below still. She had only known the Sky and the Knights who protect Skyloft. These people look so interesting. She wanted to know more so she could tell her grandma about these people. She already told her about Zoras and people who turn into foxes.


Sora:

Apparently Cocoa meeting her two friends went well! That's good! She didn't follow what happened with the stranger they bumped into, but hearing Laraine, it didn't went well so... Good thing Cocoa was here? However her question surprised Sora.
"Oh, well right now we just hang out and rest in the hot spring? It feels nice to just sit in and rest while talking and playing with our friends. Stuff like that you see? You should sit in the water!" Sora explained, while sitting herself in the water, and lay her back against the wall.

Laraine:

As Laraine moved on to the more relaxing topic of meeting new people. "Well then you're hanging out with the right people because we know all sorts of people... Well they do." She gestured to Sora and Tamara. "I just know these two dingalings and that poe over there." She said, pointing to Ame upon referencing the poe. Everyone else was either an entity to her or she had only briefly met them. "Other than that... Well you don't want to hear about my past time!" Laraine said, not exactly ready to tell that she's a thief. "But I love your swim suit! Love the colors, reminds me of my normal clothes." Which was blue and purple contrary to Cocoa's pink and blue. Laraine turned though when two others she did not recognize, Nyx and Thesus, joined their little group. "Oh hello, I don't think we've met. Laraine at your service." The thief said, bowing her head to the two politely.


Tamara:

"You come from skyloft? That's awsome! I alkways wanted to visit the place, but never had a chance and i doubt i ever will!" She said quite excited to learn something new aboth a place she once heard in stories.


Cocoa:

She listened while sitting down in the water. "I am still new to this place... Coming down here isn't what my folks wanted me to do." She said then she looked at Tamara. She smiled. "I will take you there one day if you like. I ride on a bright pink loftwing, she's not hard to miss. I can show you around Knight Academy and how we do things up there." It got a little boring after twetny years or so. Which is most of life. She hate to tell them she actually just took off one day. She over and Nyx. "Hello."


Tamara:

"That sounds tempting...tho im not sure how i feel about flying...the last time i tried it didn't really go well..." She said giggling awkwardly as she reminisced about theirl latest adventure in the wind temple. The thought of flying alone made her noxious all over again.


Sora:

It was only when Laraine started to talk to Nyx and Thesus that the fish girl noticed that those two were sitting next to them! Whoa she really was distracted now!
"Oh sorry! Didn't saw you here! My name is Sora! Nice to met you!" She said, a little embarrassed about this!
However, she was honestly more interested about something else: to fly in the direction of Slyflot would be pretty awesome, and that's something she need to try "Hey Tamara we need to do that one day! To fly to Slyflot! Imagine all the nice stuff we could see and do there!" She said super excited at her pirate friend! "we could be like Sky pirates!" She added, posing in a cool way!

Laraine:

"Pfft! When have we ever done what our parents wanted? If we all did that we'd all be just like our parents. I'd probably be some merchant or something of the sort or boat puller." Laraine joked, referring to the joke she made earlier about tying ropes to Sora. "You ride a loftwing!? That is so cool oh my Goddesses!" Laraine said excitedly, finding the overgrown birds to be amazing despite never having seen one. She had stolen enough books to know of them though. She then turned to the other two, Nyx and Theseus huh? "Pleasure to meet you two! So what brings you two to the springs?" She asked, looking over at Sora and giggling as she talked to Tama about being a sky pirate. "Don't tempt her! She may do it! Last thing she needs is a ship that can fly." Laraine said with a laugh.



The little lifeguard tweeted a small wooden whistle. "LUNCH!" He announced as the swift Jeriff finished setting up the last of the plates and food. Moving aside so that the visitors could have at the small buffet. There were various meats, vegetables, desserts, and beverages available. There was punch, water, even milk for the smaller children. But not liquor was present.



Laraine:

Laraine was eager to continue their conversation but suddenly the whistle tweeted and there was a call for lunch. They were being served lunch? Sweet! Free food she didn't have to steal for! "We will resume over a plate of fried fish, chicken leg,  and corn cob!" Laraine declared, swimming to the edge of the pool to get everything she listed. After she got her food along with a glass of Punch before sitting by the edge of the pool, waving her friends over to join her.


Sora:

the zora had to be honest here... The though of flying ship did sound both stupid, and awesome at the same time! And she could imagine Tamara riding one, even though the pirate was apparently not good with heigh. That's too bad.
"I must say, I would love to ride a left-wing once, but if it doesn't fit you... Oh well, if needed I will try by myself, if Cocoa doesn't mind guiding me there?" she said. Suddenly, a voice did attracted her attention.
"Food? Oh great I was getting hungry! Let's see out there guys!" she said, nearly pulling Tamara and the others there!


Tamara:

She didn't really want to say anything about her...problem with heights. So she kept quiet for a moment. But she was quickly distracted. Apperentally there was some food provided by the owner. "Whoa! That's quite a plesant surprise! This place keeps surprising me !" she saidn following Sora towards the full table. "You going with us?" She turned to Cocoa and Laraine, she didn't want to just leavethem there.


Cocoa:

She turned her head then shot. When it comes to free honey, Cocoa is all ears! She loves food, birds and milk. Thanks to a certain thief she met once she first came to Hyrule. Milk was the greatest thing she had ever tasted. Better than pumpkin soup in a way but she's been eating that forever. She walked over then hopped out of the spring and took her towel and dried herself off. "I'm coming!" She said following them while waving her hand. "I hope they have milk. "

Sora:

In the end, Laraine was faster than planned to reach the plate of food! Sora took as much things as possible. Mostly sweet stuff compared to salt. She was relaxing and wanted to take stuff that could her doing that. She got also a glass of milk to go with, and waited for Tamara and Cocoa to get ready too before going back to Laraine.

Laraine:

Laraine looked back to see the others going for a table instead of the pool. She kinda wanted to sit with her feet in the water but she could separate herself from the pool for them. She stood up before turning to Nyx and Theseus. "Hey guys, we got a table over here if you'd like to join us!" She called to them, not wanting to leave them out before going to join Sora, Cocoa, and Tamara. "Yeah, I'm coming." She answered Tamara before sitting at the table with her food. "So what were we talking about before? Flying to the sky?" She asked, taking a bite from her corn of cob. "I've never flown before but I would love to see Skyloft. I don't often get to travel except to scary desert temples. Is it cold up there?" She asked, knowing how mountains worked. Higher up you go, colder it got.


Cocoa: She wasted no time getting food. She heard of some things to do with birds but she held her breath and dodged those plates mostly getting veggies and also taking a few bottles of milk for the taking. They can bust her later if they can get her in time.  "I can come and get you all regardless of where you all are if you want to fly. I may need some back up getting all my friends up to Skyloft. We just can't travel at night." She told them all.


Tamara:

She followed her friends towards the full table. "A lot to choose from i have to say! Too bad they don't have any booze, i wouldn't mind some rum right now..."she commented out loud, but in the end she setteled on some  snacks and a glass of juice making sure to stay close to her friends and not loose any of them in the croud around the table. As they setteled down again the topic of sky travel was brought back again...Well better keep her mouth shut now... She just focused on her mean for a moment as the rest discussed the trip to skyloft she was so sceptical about...


Sora:

While Sora was eating her food and listent to Cocoa and Laraine talking about flying and stuff, Sora noticed that Tamara was surpringly silent. She knew the pirate, and she is usually more talkative than that. Waq something bothering her? She then remembered about the wind temple quest, and how flying up there wasn't super comfy or anything. It was a wild guess, but Sora supposed to change the subject would help her. She tried to think of something to say... Even if it's stupid... And then Sora said the first thing that came to her mind.
"ISLAND!" Sora suddenly said out blue like this! Knowing it would be weird like this (she even turned in very shade of red), Sora added a few stuff.
"I....I mean, Laraine and I were joking about moving on a island to eh.... Life there alone and..... We kinda though you would find the idea pleasant and...." She end up hiding her head in her hands, totally embarrassed!

Cocoa:

"We have a bunch of floating islands on Skyloft." She told them all. "But you have to be careful of the monsters up there." Yep they got monsters to. "But hey, my whole family are knights of Skyloft. But me." She said while taking a seat at the table and then opening a bottle of milk. She started to drink it happily.


Tamara:

She was focusing on her mean and out of sudden Sora interrupted her. "Island?" she said confused not really sure what fishgirl had in mind saying so. "what about it?" As the Zora explained Tamara giiggled gently. "that sounds nice actually! Islands are a nice place to live! Reinds me of my years on the ship! I used to sail to various islands when i had a chance...I miss sailing quite a lot, i have to say!" She said. "I wish i could one day take you out to the sea. On my own ship! It would be the best adventure of our lives! And if we feel done we could find that lone island and settle down!" Sie said with a dreamy look on her face. This idea just resonated with her to the point of her loosing her focus for a moment, lost in the plesant thought...


Laraine:

Laraine was eager to talk more about flying up to Skyloft and was eager to ask why they couldn't fly at night but we interrupted when Sora suddenly blurted out, "Island". "Great Goddesses above, Sora! A little more of a warning before you shout like that." She said before the Zora went on about their idea. "Oh yeah, funny story behind that. We actually had that idea while a bunch of moblins were trying to slit our throats." She said, laughing it off but after she said it, she was sure it wasn't that funny. Now she was in the same boat as Sora, knowing now she had to tell the story and that it wasn't a pleasant one


Sora:

Sora looked with a worried look when Laraine talked about how they nearly die at that moment, but good for them, Tamara was apparently too focused on her own dreams for noticing it. However she might tell the pirate the whole story? She wasn't sure, and to be fair, she liked the idea.
"Yeah, I must admit, this kind of life sound like pretty cool! Especially with a pro like you around! We might end up doing that who knows? What do you think you two?" honestly, she was more wondering about Laraine since she knows Tamara more, but she couldn't let Cocoa out of it.

Cocoa:

She looked over when Laraine started to explain a little something to them. She was a tad surprise to hear that. There were more monsters down here that more dangerous than the sky above. "The birds usually fight the monsters for us by sky usually..."  She looked at the pirate then everyone then just asked out loud. "What in Hylia is a boat?" She asked. "What is this... Sailing on the sea you speak of?" She asked.


Tamara:

she got quite distracted with her own thought, but once a realisation hit she got suddenly brought to the ground. "" YOU WERE IN SUCH TROUBLE?! WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GIANTS DID YOU DO?!" She alost shouted, opening her eyes wide and looking at the two of them. " If i were there i swear to whoever is upo there i would show those monsters what's what!" she added uquite angrily after a moment.  Tho she got distracted again by Cocoa's confusion. "WHAT?! how can you not know what a boat is?!" She said out loud. It was something inpossible to imagine for someone basically born and raised at sea to not know what a boat is.


Laraine:

Laraine relaxed when the pirate focused more the possibility of finding some island to live on with them. She honestly preferred that over talking about the moblin story. "I'm not against living on an island but as bad a state as Hyrule is in I would hate to leave it. Hard to leave a place you've made you're home. But as a Zora I have the freedom to travel across the sea so we may be able to make that a thing, Tamara... Assuming we can get a boat." Laraine said before turning to Cocoa. "Pfft, now here. We have to fight the monsters here. Before Hyrule took care of them but it's been corrupted by an evil man known as Kravok..." She looked around before leaning in and whispering. "Some of his soldiers are here as we relax. But we aren't allowed to harm them else we get in trouble." Laraine whispered before Tamara suddenly caught on to what she was saying, making the zora flinch again. "Can we stop shouting!? Shouting usually means to me I have been caught!" Laraine said, having been shouted at a lot in her career. She wanted to answer Cocoa's question on boats but felt this deserved more focus. "It wasn't our fault! We were relaxing by Lake Hylia when a band of Moblins attacked us! They eventually got bored and left! Sora wasn't hurt." She said leaving out many facts from the story. She left out the fact they didn't leave, they were led by a Darknut she knew, and Laraine took an arrow to the leg. But the Gerudo didn't need to know that.



Sora:

Oh! Oops so Tamara WAS listening after all! Too bad! At least Laraine did sum up the situation in a good way! Let's hope it's enough for her!
"Yeah, like Laraine said, nothing happened, we were on a island, they saw us, tried to reach nut couldn't. And nobody got hurt!" She looked at Laraine eyes, knowing it wasn't true, but Tamara didn't need to know. Sora didn't liked go lie at her most precious friend, but it was the best for now.
"Anyway! I feel like Cocoa is confused so let's explain to her! A boat is a transport that let us travel through the sea, the big body of water that are all accroche the world. To put it simply, it's like how the left-wing help you travel through the sky! And pirates, like Tamara are people who are used to live and travel all the time on boat. Do you get the idea?"
Sora made sure to drop the bad stuff about a pirate life to not make Cocoa panic, but she though she did got the whole idea right, mostly.

Cocoa:
She looked at all while processing this. "So this boat helps you get across the water to different places? Kind of like Loftwings?" She said while looking at them all. "That sounds pretty fun without the whole everyone nagging you and giving you a sword and what not. I wanna sail!" She said while smiling showing she was really curious about it. "I think I seen some boats... But only in our history books." She explained to them all. "I haven't been this excited since that one guy and I were chased out of that bar." She laughed.


Tamara:

She just nodded her head since Sora pretty much explained the subject in question pretty well. And her face lit up once Cocoa showed interest in sailing as well. "Oh it is fun! It can be really calm and relaxing one day, the onther it can be really thrilling and dangerous, and exploring new islands and lands as you sail the seas is the best kind odventure! If i ever get my own ship i will be sure to take you on a crouse! She said, extremally excited about everything she said.



Laraine:

Laraine relaxed when the pirate took their little half truth of a story. It was mostly the truth wasn't it? Besides, no one needed to know her history with that Darknut. Only Sora knew and that was due to circumstances. She let Sora and Tamara explain what boats and sailing were since Laraine had never sailed before so she left it to those who knew what they were talking about. At the mention of Cocoas last exciting moment, Laraine couldn't help but mutter, "Sounds like how me and Uren met." She then moved on to the topic at hand. "Well maybe if we ever get the opportunity we can show you the docks in Termina. They're actually built near the sea so Great Bay may have some ships we can look at." Laraine sid, trying to stay in the conversation despite knowing nothing about boats.



Sora:

Termina uh? Sora only went there once, and the situation was... Complicated to say the least, for both Sora and Tamara. The fishgirl would love to go back there, but it might be a little difficult. She looked at Tama to see if the Gerudo was thinking the same thing as her, but as she didn't told the whole story about the island joke, she preferred not to mention it for now, and go with the flow.
"Well... I would love to show it to you? I went only once there to be honest, but from the little I saw it was... Niiice...?" She wasn't sure how to say it, her memories from there were confused. "In any case, I would love to go for a cruise with the whole of you! Sound like a big fun adventure to do!" She said with a smile!



Tamara:

"That's a great idea! I havent have a chance to go back to Termina in a while...Honestly i would be curious to visit my sisters in the pirate fortres...oh yeah, if they would even let me go near it...: She said, suddenly sounding a bit down. Propably not, sicne she was basically a run away at this point...Propably wouldn;t be welcome there. "Well, im sure we could at least hang by the sea! The Great bay coast sure is a nice place to visit at least for the sights! It's quite charming there if i say so myself!" She said trying to distract herself and the rest from asking questions about the pirate fortress.


Cocoa:

She listened in on the conversation. She wondered if Tamara would let Puffs make a nest on the ship. She and Puff were great battle buddies when it came to battles and she had the upper hands in battles due to people not knowing about Puffs. This was really exciting to think about. She wondered if her grandma would come as well.


Sora:

After eating all this food, Sora started to feel more sleepy. Maybe she did ate too much at once for her own good. She rubbed her eyes, feeling she might need to go to sleep soon enough.
"Well it was a nice day. I was really glad to be here with you all! We shall do that again next time we go in a dangerous quest for our own life!"
She got up and stretched, getting ready to go home.
"Tama? Do.you mind carrying me home like last time?" She said with a big smile, showing she was joking



Laraine:
Good, no more focus on her and Sora's story. Focus on the ships, yes the ships! Not the moblins that tried to kill them! Day in the life of the resistance. Cocoa seemed to be excited and that's all that mattered. Laraine looked down at her plate and noticed she had finished all her food as they talked and looked at the sun before looking back at the pool. "Well, I hate to say it but it is time for me to take my leave. If I want to get back to the Domain before dark i have to leave now. Normally I'd stay longer, BUT WITHOUT MY WEAPONS," She yelled out, referring to their hosts, "I'd be defenseless out there so I have to go while there's still daylight." She said, giggling at Sora's request to Tamara. "I'd do it myself if you lived near me!" She said with a laugh before going to grab her clothes and coming back, getting dressed as she walked. "Well, I guess I'll see you guys around. Stay alive you all, the war hasn't been won yet!" She said before turning to leave the spring, putting on her mask last as she left the springs.



Tamara:

All this talking about sailing sure got Tamara quite nostalgic. With how many people she met that wanted to sail with her, she could easily form a crew and sail off to the sea in no time! That sure sounded tempting, and maybe she sould keep this idea on the back of her head for the right moment...But not now, now she had something else to take care of. "Haha oh come on Fishgirl, are you really becoming so lazy you can;t wealk back home anymore? I might be trating you too well!" She said jokingly as she got up from her seating. " But yeah, let's go home, all nice things have to come to an end i guess! Let's go take out clother...and who know, maybe i wi consider carrying you for a while...if you behave!" she added and before the left for the changing room she turned to Cocoa and Laraine for a moment. "Was aswome meeting you today! I hope you had as much fun and...well don't forget about the ship ordeal, i want to one day make it real!" She said and added a wink on the end of her sentance to ad a bit of fun to it all.


Cocoa:
She couldn't help but giggle at them. "Don't be a stranger when you guys see me, if you see pink and blue fly across the sky, whistle so I can come down and pick you guys up." She said as she gave them a smile. She looked at Tamara. "I hope to see you again vey soon!" She waved.
