The Princess pursed her lips at Lucien's abrupt declaration that they would be going to the Gerudo Desert. Surely it was his place to<i>suggest</i>that they go to the Gerudo Desert? She exchanged a knowing look with Impa and rolled up the map they were looking over.<br/><br/>"I need to compose a letter to my father, the King," Zelda said with authority, meeting Lucien's gaze directly. "We can leave after a midday meal. That will give us plenty of time to pack the horses and finish our business here, I think."<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/><br/>Horses ready, the three companions were mounted once more. This time, Link had his own mount to ride. After their good-bye's, tearful in the case of little Paya, they rode out of the village heading south toward the Big Twin Bridge. Lucien intended them to pick up the southern route to the Gerudo Desert from there. Zelda wondered if they might detour through Faron to see if they could find the Spring of Courage that she suspected was in the area. She hadn't had a chance to speak with Lucien about it, however, as there had been no time during their preparations to discuss it.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath of the dusty air of the road, Zelda smiled. She hadn't wanted to go back home to the castle yet, anyway.
