Chapter 13 steaming down time
Two and a half weeks after the battle a lot of planning and arranging Dan and Lex's living arrangements. Everyone is scattered around Hyrule castle with most of the adults meeting with their ally's leaders while Dan, Lex, Lana, Deku, Jr, Zellie, Saria and Mido wait in the courtyard as dusk approches.
Wow what a day Lana says while flopping on a bench. Even though I'm Nustrom's daughter by adoption I still must deal with politics and other sorts of crap.
You said it Saria and Mido replied. We're going to take the mantle of leading the Kokiri after the war which is adding the protection of the forest with Deku and the Deku Scrub's royal family.
You got that right Deku smiled and laughed.
Not to mention I'm now goanna be fostered by Darunia and Lex will be with you Zellie, your brother and parents.
Alexa said while laughing aren't we all beat even after the war despite me and dan only being here nearly a month and a half.
They all laughed out loud at the same time as the rest of the group entered the courtyard then Midna asked them what they all are laughing about.
How tired we all are Jr replied as he stood up.
You're not wrong FI replied smiling we all need a break since we all agreed to attack Ganon once and for all in a week.
Then how about we all head to the hot spring in the barracks to refresh Darunia suggested. I'll clear our minds and relax our muscles from all the stress.
Everyone agrees to this and heads to the hot spring area in the barracks where they strip all the way to nothing, and all go into the water except Lana who's behind a pillar.
Is something wrong Lana Zelda asked?
I'm sorry I'm still new to this circle of friends and I've never been nude in front of others except my former village before it was destroyed and adopted by Nustrom.
Its ok Ruto replied Daniel and Alexa were the same when we first stopped at the Domain at the swimming area.
She's not wrong they replied embarrass.
How about you sit next to whoever your closer with If you want Jr suggested.
Deku then added that most of them are already taken but also him and Jr swears not to stair.
Your both so sweet and hope you live up to that. She then walked in removed her towel and sat next to both Jr, Deku and Zellie and like they promised Deku and Jr look the other way bushing a bit.
Ganondorf smirks at them and asked Link and Zelda if that reminds them of something?
Oh yes it does Zelda replied smiling while Link snickered.
What does he mean father Zellie asked?
Impa answered her by saying something she'll understand when she's a little older or around Dan and Lex's age.
Why's that?
Just leave it at that Midna laugh.
As most of the adults laughed FI jumps out for a moment to turn up the steam and as she was about to sit right in both Mido and Saria trips her causes her to fall in face first.
Hey uncool you two I know you don't really age but grow up, pranks aren't funny.
Oh, come on FI Ruto laughed they're just unwinding like all of us.
Yeah, listen to my fiancé Dar laughed. Everyone has their way of fun and laugh.
Fine I'll let this slide she sighs a bit annoyed.
Like you did Nabooru remarked.
At those words everyone busted out laughing tell a servant came in asking for all their attention.
Parden me my lords and ladies but the other leaders' askes for all of you.
What do they want now Fi asked annoyed?
They didn't tell my lady.
Zelda stands up and walks up to tell him to tell them to give them an hour or two as they wish to continue their well-deserved break after these past few weeks.
But princess he replied while trying not to stare at her and the other female members?!
Me, my wife and we all have spoken. Rushing things will put our strategy in parallel. Farcos, Nustrom and the Great Deku tree will understand and convince the others. Now go!
As the servant leaves and Zelda sits back next to Link Dan puts an arm around Lex, acknowledging how much authority they have.
Link smiles and said it's the quirks of being born or married into royalty.
Darunia laughs and pointed out that Dan will be his and Ruto foster son tell he's eighteen after the war while Link and Zelda will be fostering Lex, so they better start asking the same if they wish to succeed in something important.
Everyone smiles and laughs tell Impa stopped and said that they should rap this up and not keep them all waiting to which they all agree as the stream dies down.
