Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Kala’s remark makes Irina's expression changes from hurt to serious. “That is not what I said,” she replies firmly, well aware that the princess cannot hear her anymore.

With this, she approaches Revali, decided and with head held high. “Can I keep you company?” She asks the blue Rito.

Mipha looks over each person to make sure they're counted before answering Gatu's question. "Yes, we are all here, but our conditions are not in a good place." She states now that they're all on deck. Fred was stable, thankfully. Still in need of work, but at least he should be alright.

"Outside of the actual captain and his associate, we're all here," she continued. "But it's hard to say if that will maintain, at the moment." She was aware of the tensions building around Revali. Even she had her suspicions. Kala certainly thought so and she found it difficult not to take her stance into consideration.

"No one is to be alone. We should form pairs to conduct any tasks from here onward. If our numbers are uneven, then partner swapping is possible, but the odd one out is to stay up here on the deck." She's still ticking away in her mind trying to keep things together. "We need to gather whatever is salvageable. Food, water, munitions, curatives and anything else of particular use and value. Anything that is found is to be sorted on the deck."

"Sounds like a plan... Once you're ready, I could use some healing too please... I think I broke a rib when I hit the water against something under the surface..." _Gatu says, trying to keep his strength and not black out as he adjusts and props himself in an upright sitting position. Other than the broken rib that's making it hard to breath and the burns stinging his skin, it was then he realizes he doesn't have the Bone Sword on him._

"Oh for Hylia's sake... I was starting to get attached to that Bone Sword." _Gatu added, feeling sad a good bit since it probably got destroyed in the blast, somehow thrown past the barrier, or sunk to the gosh darn bottom of this dang sea..._

Link sets Fred down on the deck and props him up against some ropes that are arranged in a neat pile. Once he is certain that he is in a more or less comfortable position, he rises and gives a solemn nod to Mipha, trying to avoid the tension on the deck.

“I will check the stores below to see what is available. Anyway, it looks like most of the damage was on this level near the canons. I suppose that the gunpowder was ignited.” The area near where the canons were is completely gone and still smoldering.

He climbs down below deck and can be heard rummaging around.

Fred in the meantime is sitting up and in a daze. He is strong, however, and does his best to prop himself up. “We are fortunate to have your magic, your highness.” he says weakly to Mipha.

The bokoblin turns and sees something in the ropes. He pulls out the bone sword and tosses it to Gatu. “It's a little charred but still useful, me thinks.” He coughs a little from the effort.

_Gatu luckily catches the sword with his one good arm, since it hurt to move his sword-wielding arm with all the burns running up and down them. He looks it over quietly. Charred in a few spots, but luckily intact._

Irina sits on some broken planks next to Blue, bringing her knees close to her chest and leans her arms on them. She looks around the boat—part of it is gone. Then she takes a quick glance at the group, not sure what they are planning.

“Well,” she says to Revali, “maybe you can tell me one of your jokes. Although I don't really get them lately,” she confesses with a small grin.

Link returns after some time with supplies from below. He brings food and water to the group. “I think most of the store is salvageable but we will need to preserve what we have since we seem to be going in circles here.”

"I will be with you soon. The best action you can take now is to rest. Constant movement will exacerbate the injuries you are experiencing." Mipha indicated to Gatu. She turns her attention back to Fred, watching how he moves to determine which areas she needs to focus on. "Truly, my magic is meant to be shared and I do so freely. I wish to see everyone well, here. I think it would do well for you to have something to eat and drink. Thankfully, Link has found some provisions."

She takes some and hands them to Fred. "Have these and allow your body to rest. I am going to attend to others." Rising into a full stand, she takes a deep breath and let's out a cleansing exhale. "Alright. I agree that we need to work on preservation. Everyone should eat of what you've brought out now and we'll gather only what we need when hunger arises again."

That said, she walks over to Gatu to check the extent of his injuries. "I'll need you to lay back carefully while I attend to your injuries."

Revali was still a bit frustrated, but Irina's request was something he had to give some thought to. What kind of joke could he draw up? He sighs at one he came up with and brings his wingtips up to his eyes to rub them. "I heard rumor once of two shield eating monsters going out on a date. Word in the skies is they Like-Like each other."

He lowered his wing and kept his focus out on the ocean for the shame was too great to even look for the response to it.

Honestly, Irina did not expect Revali to actually come up with a joke in this situation. But he did anyway, and Irina watches him blankly for a second before her expression softens and she starts laughing. “I did get that one,” she adds with a grin.

Link is preparing the food but idly listening. After a few moments, he also bursts into laughter after he gets Revali’s joke.

Irina turns to look at Link and grins at him, happy that he is also laughing at the joke despite everything.

Link smiles back to Irina and Revali, but when he looks at his feathered friend his smile softens slightly. He brings them both some water then sits next to Fred with the remaining water from a jug.
