Conversations are short and often whispered with glances being thrown toward the Gerudo king at the high table, who is undoubtably the loudest in the room. He tears into the meal before him eating messily and laughing loudly the nobles next to him put on brave faces, but are in obvious discomfort while King Rham maintains his cool comportment. Around the high table the royal guards keep a tight grip on their spears and when you glance up you can see the individuals in the rafters glaring intently at the Gerudo King, their presence here making much more sense to you now.
“Take a break kid,” you jump once again as sergeant Korus places a hand on your shoulder. “I know you haven’t eaten since this morning and you’ve got a long shift ahead of you, so take a break and get a bite to eat.”
“I’m not really hungry, besides I don’t think I could relax with all this going on.” You answer Korus honestly.
“I know kid, but a soldiers got to know when to take a break, because you never know when your next one might be. We’ll be okay without you for a little bit, we’ll eat in shifts, besides I doubt the Gerudos will try anything just yet, their king is having too much fun.” He says with a nod toward the high table where Gannondorf lets out another laugh.
Heeding the sergeant’s advice, you take a seat at one of the invitees and petitioners tables and force some food and water down your throat. You nearly choke though when one of the large Gerudo women sets down nearby, unhooks her mask and begins devouring a plate of fish. It seems that the Gerudo are eating in shifts as well.
> Ignoring the Gerudo woman, you do as the sergeant said eat and try to relax a little, he’s right you’ve got a long shift ahead of you and being too wound up won’t help.> You shift over a little closer to the petitioners and listen in on their conversation, they appear to be discussing the boarder incident, that the Gerudo King was referring to.> Conquering your fear, you attempt to converse with the Gerudo woman. You know little of the Gerudo, and talking to one might provide you with valuable insight, if you can get her talking.
