Nodding, Zelda grabbed her bag before leading the way out of the village, ignoring the cheerful cries of the villagers. She nodded to Link's surprising gem of wisdom and sped up, arriving at the gates in only a few moments. The town wasn't very large after all; one could walk from end to end several times in ten minutes. The guard had needed a little persuading to let them pass, but the few rupees were worth it for sure. That was the end of the easy part though, the steep incline promising rough hiking for sure. True enough, after a few minutes of hiking uphill, Zelda's feet were killing her, though she kept it from showing. It certainly wouldn't do to lower the morale of their small group.
All of a sudden, however, the trio stopped, turning to get a better look at the ruckus coming from down the mountain. Zelda nearly did a facepalm upon seeing that it was Impa, while Pip just looked from one sister to the other nervously. "Hello, Impa," the elder sister said, clearly not excited about the prospect of having the crazy bodyguard joining them on their journey. "And this, is Pip. A friend. So, calm your horses."
