[Hey, 'sup. Someone's swimmin' in the river around the gates, don't mind him. Or do, if that's what guards do. He's just. Swimmin'.]

((ooc: If this ain't allowed, lemme know! New here, just messing around.))

[A vaguely familiar little boy, swimming.

Interesting.]

Mind the current, lad. [There's nothing wrong with taking a swim, but it is a river. Fair's fair.]

[ooc: allowed? what is this allowed you speak of? You're fine, friend~ In fact, alksdf that username, that icon, I immediately declare you my best friend and go to lol quietly in a corner]

[Oh, hey, what? There's a guard up there. He looks up to call to the guy.]

I'll be okay!

[Hey, maybe that guy could help him out.]

Do you know if there's an ocean here?

((ooc: Hahaha, awesome! Glad to give someone a laugh. :D))

[There's something comfortably familiar about having a conversation from a few solid feet up in the air.]

Not one that I've seen or smelled, as such. There is, however, a lake to the south and a former den of Zoras to the east.

He still isn't accustomed to the sight of all of the empty wood and stone dwellings standing around. It's eerie, a permanent camp with no one to live there. It reminds him vaguely of what he saw when he and Majora slipped into the Garo Castlerock, all carefully worked stone and markings and not a single living being anywhere.

He growls in irritation at himself. He's already on edge because of the feeling of eyes on him, though that could merely be that the Void is staring at him again. He shakes his head and sits on the ground just before the wooden bridge, leaning against one of the raised stone platforms.

A little rest should help him shake off that jittery feeling.

In this case, that watched feeling has a much more commonplace cause: the Captain has spotted him, and is watching his approach and subsequent rest.

"Hail, traveler," he calls down, a courtesy more than anything.

...Not that he minds actually seeing people. It happens less often than one would think, here.

The voice -- sound with no source -- makes him jump to his feet and go for his weapon. He has his feather in his hand before his mind manages to catch up and convince him that no one is here.

He needs to calm down, he decides.

"May I ask who is speaking?"

"Viscen, Captain of the Guard, formerly of Clocktown."

A beat.

"This is not my homeland, but it is still my job to keep watch." Look up, in other words.

[Whether Viscen is familiar with this gesture or not--he was once educated on much old Terminian lore, but he was a mere child at the time--peaceful intent is peaceful intent. And he recognizes the warrior from their last meeting. As such, he offers a brief salute in return and calls down a greeting.]

Hail, Warrior!

All's well today. Clear skies and clean fields.

[His voice is wry; rarely is there activity that warrants his investigation.]

[Well, well! A castle guard that takes his duty seriously? That deserves a reward, surely! It wasn't that long ago that this place was infested by those hideous monsters, after all. So Telma puts a sign on the bar stating they're momentarily closed -- "sorry for the inconvenience" -- and heads to the foot of the gate holding a basket. If he's any good at his job, surely he'll notice her arrival, yes?]

((Hope we're not too late for the party?))

[He certainly will. And call down to greet her, too.]

Hail, madam!

[OMG, you're never too late, baby xD]

Alert, I see. That's good, honey! You keep a sharp eye out and holler real loud if you see those beasts approach the city again.

[She smiles, satisfied that (for once) her town isn't being guarded by a nincompoop, and raises her basket a bit in invitation.] Had you lunched? I brought meat pie and cider, to help you keep your strength up.

[Say, hold on, now... She squints and peers up at the helmeted face, trying to make out features against the bright sky. ...Oh goodness!] You're the milk-loving gentleman, aren't you!

((Eeee~! ty!))

[He can't help but smile, both at the generous lunch offer and the recognition.]

I haven't, and I am, madam! Might you come up and join me for a moment?

[He hates to leave his post, even for a pretty lady.]
