"Well, I guess I see you back in Goron City then. I'll have to show you a Goron relaxes after a battle." Darbus barks out a laugh and gives Jinom a slap on the back that nearly knocks him over.
Darman is thrilled at the news that his lands are safe once more and he is more than happy to let Jinom and his escort rest in his city while he shows them all that Goron hospitality has to offer. While Goron "food" is mostly inedible to Hylians, Darman is a considerate host and at the feasts to celebrate the victory over the Bokoblins, all manner of Hylian delicacies are served. The food is prepared in the Goron way. That is to say in large quantities and with a generous amount of spices. It is a far cry from the banquets of Hylian nobility, but it's delicious none the less. After eating there is much singing and dancing and despite their frankly clumsy attempts at dancing the Goron have a blast. Stepping on each other's feet, crashing into other dancers, and falling to the ground, the merriment lasts far into the night.
The following morning, the prince is treated to a Goron massage. An experience that leaves him more bruised than when he went in, but after a soak in the thermal hot springs the prince felt nearly back to normal. A few more days of Goron hospitality later and Jinom and his escort are well enough to move on. Darman thanks the prince once again and promises to send his warriors to their aid at once. "Your father and now you have shown your loyalty to me and my people. You have lived up to our oath of brotherhood and I am glad to call you brother and friend. May the bond between our peoples continue forever." With those final words. Jinom bids farewell and returns to his mission.
>The prince and his remaining escort are fully healed.Who do you visit next?
> The River Zora, while once enemies, relations between your two peoples have normalized somewhat in recent years. It might be wise to gain their aid, or at least their neutrality in the coming conflict.> The Rito, even though they are a rather insular people with limited contact with outsiders. They do partake in a decent amount of trade with the Hylians who live near their mountainous home. If you can secure their help, it would be a mighty boost to your cause to have allies capable of flight.> The Ocean Zora, distinct from their fresh water cousins, are perhaps Hyrule's biggest mercantile partners. While they occasionally clash with the Hylians over fishing grounds on the whole they get along well. With their help you could acquire almost anything you could wish for. Including war materials.
