The young Zora was totally lost. He didn’t mean to get lost-- the Hylian and Gerudo’s arguing got boring, so he...ran off. Talk of triangles on hands, and some sort of heavenly resonance didn’t exactly made sense to the boy--he simply wanted to play. So he ran down the halls, his little flipper like feet flopping around the unknown castle as he explored.

Sorben was running down one particular hall, one he had not seen before, he didn’t bother gazing like some others would have. Unfortunately, he didn’t see the man who was also in the hall. He had bumped into the other, head first, causing the young Zora to spin before falling behind. A hand appeared out from behind his cloak like fins, rubbing his head.

“Ow...”

@watersshape liked for a starter with anybody! (Sorben)

The little Zora didn’t know how he got out at sea, to be frank. He awoke of a raft, the sun beating down on his scaled skin rather harshly. The child simplt sat up, propelling his little vessel with his feet to try to get onto land. If he could swim, he’d probably home and back to shore by now! But the weight of his little fins protruding say otherwise. At least the water felt nice!

It wasn’t until a few hours later when the creaking of an even larger vessel hit his ears. Sorben looked behind himself to witness a huge ship. Excited he scrambled to his feet, jumping up and down and waving his finned arms. “Over here! Over here Mr. Ship!”

Sorben opens his eyes wearily. Immediately he is surrounded by warmth. The smell of sugar and burnt embers fly through the chilly morning air. It hits his little stub of a nose like a wake-up call. His vision is blurry, but the bright light in front of him was simply too blinding to look at. He closes his eyes with a whimper, his little webbed hands whipping his face as the Zora adjusts.

He opens his eyes, gazing up at the purple sky on the horizon. It was morning already? The kid only took an hour nap, why was it so late? His lavender eyes trailed down to the yellow light again. It was a...fire? When was there a fire? Why is there a fire? Oh no, is the forest on fire?! Is he going to see another shadow--?!

"Pipsqueak, stop breathing so loud, some of us already do that in our sleep."

His head wipes around to the Gerudo, Ko'bure. He huddled to her side, much to her contention. "Hey--!"

"The fire is scary..."

Sorben hears a sigh from above him. Soon enough, he's scooped into the Gerudo's lap, her head gently resting on Zora's crown. This was...rare. His eyes dart to the fire, then to Lady, who poked it generously with her spear. "Sorry if I woke you! The buns are almost ready!"

it felt...warm. It wasn't scalding like the fiery falls of Zora's Domain, nor was it the scorching heat of a blazing fire. Ko'bure's embrace felt...the nice kind of warm. He feels tears brimming to the surface of his face. Before the spill, he huddles closer to the woman holding him, turning his head from the rest of the world.

He's...safe.
