Prince Sidon
location; river
tags; Zelda, Lumene, Mipha, Minda
Immensely grateful for the help the Hylian Princess gave him, Sidon sat still and allowed himself to be tended to despite the stabs of pain that occasionally afflicted him. Hoping to lessen the worry in Zeldaโs cornflower gaze, he tried his best to put on a calm demeanor and simply grit his teeth through any discomfort.
The Rito girl, Lumene, brought news of Mipha which the Prince eagerly took in. He was so close to finding her โ he should just suck it up and go meet her wherever she was. Though, he felt Zelda would have something to say about such a decision.
Lost in his own thoughts, he hardly heard the conversation between the Rito and Hylian. Distantly, he thought his lack of interaction may seem off-putting. Hopefully, they wouldnโt think less of him for his silence. That and he was beginning to think the chill that persisted in him was clouding his mind.
Lumene moved closer, startling him slightly but only out of reflex. She meant him no harm so he complied with letting her take a look at his now warmed gills. Breathing was still somewhat of a cold sensation, but much easier than before. His back, even though he could not crane his neck to see it, was radiating the most pain at the moment. Ice crystals gone, he registered that he was bleeding, but not profusely โ either it was already clotting or there was still an arrowhead imbedded to staunch the flow, he wasnโt entirely sure.
Then he heard his name from the direction of the water. He swiveled his head, careful to avoid bumping either of his companions due to their proximity, and glanced about in the darkening evening for the source. His golden eyes landed quickly on a red spot in the river while his brain played catch-up. The realization hit him like a rock, causing the Zora to go slack jawed.
Hastily, he got up from his place in the grass, earning a sharp pain but continuing on regardless. For a moment, he forgot the others around him and solely focused on gathering his sister into his arms and spinning her in an overjoyed circle. He was probably hugging her too tightly, but he had to make up for the past century.
โMipha! Youโre here! Youโre alive! Iโ Iโve missed you,โ his voice wavered slightly. He set her down but refused to let her go yet,
โIโve missed you. More than you know. Every day.โ The prince felt like a child again, too small for his own fins, missing his sister after she had been away for a diplomatic meeting. However, the main difference now was that he was easily double her height. He would have to tease her about it later.
(Losing inspiration for Kass. Heโs going to be at the stables if anyone really wants to interact with him.)
