The Zora Princess smiles politely again. "I am called Rumela, after grandmother.
"It's a lovely name and it suits you well."
Rumela smiles again, this time more genuinely. The expression sends a strange flutter through Jinom’s heart and he can feel his face reddening. Reacting quickly, he asks another question to mask his momentary disturbance. "Have you ever been to the south your grace, visited your saltwater cousins?"
"A few times, when I was younger. Not so much these days. I haven't spent much time outside these halls in years." She says wistfully "Have you been there recently?"
"No, I plan on going there soon and was wondering if there was anything I should do or see while there."
"Well, there's the markets for one. If it exists and can be bought or sold some trader there is likely to have it. There's also the Coral Gardens. Beautifully shaped and tended avenues of color, but they are underwater so you might not get the same enjoyment out of them that I did."
"You went swimming," Jinom interrupts his curiosity piqued. "I thought your people couldn't live in saltwater?"
Rumela laughs "We aren't that far removed from each other that we can't go for a swim in saltwater and they can't swim in fresh. Although I did get rather dehydrated after a while. Now let's see what else was there?" She ponders for a moment before going on. "Their chefs are also very skilled and they exotic dishes with ingredients you've never heard of before, but if there's one thing you absolutely must do, its listen to one of their musicians play. It might not be suitable for regal halls such as this one, but they put their heart and souls into it and they'll leave you dancing and humming to the tune long after you've departed." She says a longing, wistful tone returning to her voice. She goes on at length telling the prince of her time spent having fun on the beaches and in the water while her father tended to official business.
After what feels like only a short time spent conversing Minister Totin interrupts saying the king requests his daughter's presence. "I must go, but thank you for speaking with me Prince Jinom I much enjoyed the experience."
"And I as well Princess Rumela." The princess grants Jinom another warm and genuine smile before departing. With time running short now, the prince remounts his horse and he and his entourage begin the journey home. As they pass through the gate-locks Jinom can't help but wonder if there'll ever be a Hylian girl as pleasant as Rumela.
