Zelma
I'll ping you once I toss Impa into the water
Ronald
If it wasn't one thing, it was another. Mipha, the princess, Link, and even *Purah* Had all disappeared, launching the kingdom into a panic. Impa had been searching for her princess for weeks, visiting the domains of the Champions first, hoping Zelda might have gone there, though she couldn't imagine why Zelda wouldn't tell anyone.

And now even *Revali*?

Suspecting some sort of Terrako related shenanigans, Impa had naturally tried to get answers out of it, but Terrako had been running around in just as much of a panic as everyone else. So it couldn't have been *Terrako*, but how did she explain so many people disappearing when Hyrule was still at peace? There hadn't even been any monsters.

She'd been out looking for the princess and others again when a portal had suddenly opened up *Right beneath* Her feet, sucking the Sheikah warrior in before she could even blink.

She had very little time to process what was going on before it spat her right into a large body of water. Impa coughed and sputtered as she forced herself up to the surface, shaking water out of her eyes. What in the *World* Had...?

The glittering blue and silver of Zora's Domain greeted her, but there were, unfortunately, no Zora around... And Impa couldn't exactly swim herself up a waterfall to get to land. Her teleportation would be useless in the water too...

Great.

Zora's Domain was at least relatively peaceful, despite the *Everything* Going on around Hyrule. There was a reason Redd had sought safety here, following the discovery of Yiga activity far too close to home. It was safe here, as much as it could be, and the waters were cool enough for him to stay comfortable.

With Zora healers here, his father could be comfortable too, in case his sickness deigned to return. And his daughter... Well, he had to keep an eye on her. Her downy feathers were too thick for her to be able to swim, so he had to be careful to ensure she stayed around the shallow pools, where the Zora children would also congregate. He'd never forgive himself if anything happened to her.

So when he heard a sudden loud splash below, his heart leapt into his throat. Redd's eyes widened, and he quickly looked around in alarm. He quickly spotted Scarlet- a flash of white feathers running towards Clancy to brandish a shellfish of some kind at him triumphantly -and he breathed out a sigh of relief. She was safe.

But then what...?

He looked over the side of the walkway, down to the waters far below, and soon set his eyes on... A Hylian. Stranded in the water. Again. *What is it with Hylians and getting themselves into this sort of trouble?* He thought, breathing out a sigh.

Well.

Someone had to help. Redd braced himself, and leaped off the edge, diving into the water with another large *Splash!* Like a dart, he sped through the waters, and surfaced near Impa- leveling a piercing stare at her with emerald green eyes. The white hair, the clothing... This wasn't a Hylian- this was a Sheikah, right?

"You seem to be in a spot of trouble here."
Ronald
The last thing she'd expected was a Rito of all people to be diving into the water, but once he surfaced, she could suddenly see *Why*; he was built *Differently* From other Rito she'd seen, a build that looked far more suited to swimming.

A Rito still wasn't a common sight in Zora's Domain of all places, but she wasn't complaining. She'd like to get *Out* Of the water before she turned into a prune.

"Look, this is going to sound weird... But I just fell out of sky. I definitely didn't jump in here for fun!"

That was very much going to sound crazy, but Impa really didn't care. She had to make it *Clear* She hadn't just leaped into the water like an idiot when there was no way for her to get out. At least no easy way.

She cleared her throat, still threading water. "Ahem. But yes. I could use some help... Out of the water. If you don't mind."

She had some rupees stashed away she could give the guy if he wanted payment.
Gaston
As much as he kept to himself, Redd wasn't *Completely* Out of touch with current events- he was at least aware of the portals cropping up around Hyrule, dumping people from across space and time, and the fact one had apparently opened near Rito Village not long before he left for Zora's Domain.

He wasn't familiar with all the details, but he preferred it that way. He had his own problems to worry about without getting involved in all *That* Chaos... But it seems fate had other plans. He breathed out a sigh, shaking his head.

"...Of course. Brilliant, it's happening here too... Well, you're not the first person to find themselves stranded in the waters here." Redd remarked, flippers sweeping through the water as he turned, seeking the nearest waterfall.

*There.* With a nod, he glanced over his shoulder at her. "If you can hold onto my shoulders, I'll be able to swim you up that waterfall there. I'm no Zora, but you'd be the second person I've ferried up there this week. You're in capable hands."
