Quito, Ecuador, Saturday, October 19, 2019

The portal leaves at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and while Anakin will be busy over at that office making sure they transfer through cannon-free locations, the rest of you have the morning to do some last minute shopping, exploring, and gym-going.

"There's nothing wrong with having vacations lined up like shoes--all nice and neat and orderly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, giggling as well. "Even if it feels so extravagant to do such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As a girl who'd never had a real vacation before coming here... it really was appallingly extravagant.

"I had an idea for our next vacation, though, if you don't mind a suggestion???????????????????"

"I'll have to take your word for it, Nina!" said Sidon, with a laugh. "Considering I don't even wear shoes!"

He may have given his webbed toes, especially the big one with the particularly long yellow claw a little wiggle to emphasize the point as he chuckled.

"And of course I don't mind a suggestion!" he added with a pump of his fist this time. "Whyever would I, especially when I can only imagine any suggestion you may have would be nothing but delightful as well as exciting!"

This was, after all, the girl who took them out on a tour of a vampire infested castle just for funsies.

"Weeeeell," she said cheerfully, "I was thinking about, like, when you and I were exploring Hyrule after Noctis' birthday party???????????????????"

That had been fun. Nina was still smug about her superior fishing skills, compared to Noctis.

"And, like, you mentioned the Gerudo desert?????????" Nina continued. "And how, like, you couldn't go there.................. but I've been working it out and, like, I think by the time winter really gets going, that I'll be able to make it so you can travel in a desert?????????????"

Well, when it came to fishing, Sidon liked to think he'd had the both of them beaten, but go on...

"In a desert?" asked Sidon, looking a bit skeptical, though his head certainly tilted with intrigue. "Why, that certainly would be a feat, Nina! Even with the availability of potions that allow most Hylians to withstand even the heat of Death Mountain without much trouble, they've never worked for us Zora. I'd be a mere parched shell of myself within moments! Would this involve your magic, though, perhaps?"

"It would definitely involve my magic," Nina said, nodding as she neatly folded up a new dress she'd picked up and tucked it into her suitcase. "And, like, it's not a 'ward off heat' spell, though I suppose I could figure that out if you wanted me to????????????????"

She already had a few ideas for that, truly...

"But, like, I know you don't mind passing as human on the odd occasion," not the way Vette did, anyway, "so I was working more with the idea of, like, what if you were human, indefinitely???????????????" Nina laughed a little. "At least, so long as you were wearing--well, I think an amulet makes the most sense????????????? But if you'd rather a bracelet or an earring I could rework that bit???????????????"

It was, after all, still in progress.

"Oh!" Sidon blinked a little as that all processed in his head, and then a bright, toothy grin broke out on his face. "Why, that doesn't sound that much different from when Miss Hera and Mr. Jarrus used a sort of holographic cloaking device in that class of theirs I took, so that we could help out a soup kitchen on the mainland! Oh, that was terribly fun, Nina, and so strange, to think that I could look human!" Or, well, he actually came out Hylian, but most people couldn't tell the difference. "An amulet that could make me do more than merely appear as such? Marvelous! That would be incredible, Nina! I imagine, then, that I would not be so vulurable to the heat and the arid air, no more so than you yourself, or Prompto or Norman or Tip! Then I could traverse the Gerudo Desert all I wanted!"

Well, not quite, because it was still hot as balls out there, but it would certainly be a bit easier.

"You know," he ventured, with his voice dancing with the thrill of it all, "I don't believe there's ever been a Zora who could traverse the Gerudo Desert, Nina!"

And they could just take potions then to help them all across!

Or more magic.

"It would be another story to add to your collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said encouragingly. "Your legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'd be able to tell your people about the desert first-hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"What better way to spend a holiday break!" said Sidon, with a laugh booming enough to resonate through the whole room, pumping his fist to match, before his arms opened, as he spoke excitedly about the prospects. "My legacy will be rife with so many firsts, Nina! First Zora to travel to another world! First Zora in space! First Zora in the Gerudo Desert!"

First Zora to...

...well, some of those thoughts would certainly be getting ahead of himself, as much as he knew Nina would have appreciated them.

"I truly shall live up to my title as the Ambassador Prince, on my own world and other well beyond!"

"Most definitely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said happily, clapping her hands together in her excitement. "Why--oh my gosh, Sidon, I wonder if Lady Teresa would want to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could even wind up meeting a ruler from my world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And wouldn't that be amazing?

"But, like, first the Gerudo Desert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
in_sidon_we_trust: (yes!)

"Yes!" Sidon agreed with a laugh. "One step at a time, though I must admit, it would be exceptional to meet your Lady Teresa as well! Perhaps we could even work together some sort of partnership between worlds, as I'm building with Prompto's Prince Noctis! A veritable multiuniversal alliance of sorts! Tell me, Nina, what's she like?"

"She's very brave and wise," Nina said, delighted to talk about one of her favourite people in any world. "She's the acting-mayor of Greenhill since her father, Alec Wisemail is still technically the mayor, but he's been very, very ill for many years so since she was young Lady Teresa's been doing her work and her father's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's not, like, a warrior but she cares deeply for all of her people and does her best to look after them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Why, she must care for them deeply, to sacrifce so much of herself and her time to step up to the task in her father's illness!" Sidon remarked, clearly impressed. "How terribly sad, to have such an ordeal weighing on the shoulders of your kingdom, Nina, but how absolutely remarkable that you should have another capable leader ready to take on the task! She sounds truly incredible, and I would be honored the have the privledge to one day make her acquaintence!"

"I'm sure she'd be delighted to make your acquaintance," Nina said earnestly. "She's, of course, very busy but even so, I'm sure a meeting could be arranged at some point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh, I can only imagine she would be!" Sidon said, his voice energetic with respect and understanding. "I, on the other hand, have an incredibly open schedule; even as king, I don't believe I shall have too many pressing matters to attend to..."

Not unless the Calamity reawakened, in which case....hoo boy...

"I shall happily concede the occasion of our meeting to the lady's utmost convenience!"
