Preparing For Departure
"We must go South to Forest Haven where we will find Farore's Pearl," said the King of Red Lions.
"Please tell me it's uninhabited…. Please…." Link said faintly, laying stiffly inside the boat.
He was in a lot of pain, and was exhausted.
"Get up Link, we need to get going!" The King replied.
Link moaned.
"Look, do you want to save your sister or not?"
Link thought about his little sister for a moment. He didn't even get to apologize to Aryll, and that fact made him feel worse. He had to save her no matter how much pain he was in!
He finished adding Komali's name to his list, then tried his best to sit up, and managed to do so slowly.
"Oh…." He groaned.
"Stop acting so whiney! It's not that bad," The King of Red Lions said.
"Not that bad? NOT THAT BAD! YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU MOTHER (BEEPER)! IT IS THAT BAD! I CAN'T FEEL MY ASS FOR GOODNESS SAKES! DON'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT'S NOT SERIOUS!" Link cried shrilly.
"Ok, ok! Can you at least steer me? Or is that too much pain?"
"I think I can do that..." Link grumbled.
He got to his feet at last, and hoisted the sail.
Link grabbed the tiller.
"Oh wait, we can't go yet!" The boat said.
"Why…not?" Link growled through clenched teeth.
"The wind is blowing to the North. We need it to go to the South!"
Link played The Wind's Requiem.
"There. I did it. Are you happy now? Can we get out of here?" Link asked impatiently.
"Yes, we can go now." The boat replied.
The boat started to move, and Link sat down.
"So, um, do you still think you're either hallucinating or dead?" The boat asked, trying to make conversation.
"No, I'm only HALF DEAD." Link replied irritably.
"Mm hm. Well, did you make any new friends?"
Link just gave the King of Red Lions a look, "Hm, I dunno, did it LOOK like I did?"
Then his nose began to bleed for no reason, "Just my luck!"
"Why did your nose start bleeding?" the boat asked.
"I have no (beeping) clue…."
