>>5990733>>5991048>>5991294>>5991337The song and chatter of the village greets Jinom’s ears as he steps back outside. Chari, who had been standing by the large bonfire outside the Chief's hut, approaches with a bounce in her step. "Ready to go back prince?"
"Not yet, I wish to visit the Owl tribe."
Chari cocks her head and makes a low gurgling noise, but then perks up "I can't take you there too far of a trip on my tired wings, but I know someone who'd be perfect." Chari leads the prince to an area that looks and smells like a market of some sort, with food and other merchants attempting to sell their wares. "You're in luck that he's here today and that I spotted him on our way in." Chari parts the curtains of a hut and strides in, Jinom close behind. The inside of the hut is divided into a couple sections. Fabrics of all types and colors in one area, Fur, and hides of every size and shape in the next, then vellum, parchment, and paper. "Kaparik are you in there?" Chari calls into the piles and racks of parchment. A large shape looms up over the stacks and a pair of large yellow eyes swivel to gaze over at Jinom and Chari. There is a sonorous *hoot*hoot* and the Owl lumbers over, his eyes and head locked onto them. Maintaining a chipper tone Chari introduces Jinom. "Kaparik, this is Prince Jinom of the Kingdom of Hyrule."
Kaparik hoots again then says "A pleasure to meet you Prince Jinom, third of your name, and forth in line to the throne correct." In a low deep and hollow sounding voice.
Caught off guard by Kaparik's introduction, Jinom dumbfoundedly nods his head "Yes, I am, how did you know?"
"I've been brushing up on the Royal Lineages of Hyrule recently." He answers matter of factly. "I must say your ancestor Queen Wolmoma is a fascinating woman. Did she really drown all of her suitors? Or burn down those churches. Did she kill all those people just to bath in their blood?" He asks stepping closer to the prince with each question until his large head and eyes fill Jinom’s vision.
"I have an archivist that would love to have a talk with you." Jinom says taking a step back from the Owl and his questions about Wolmoma the Mad.
Chari chirps loudly and comes to the prince's rescue. "Actually, Kaparik the prince has a request."
Jinom clears his throat and regains his composure "Yes, I need passage to your tribe and I was wondering if you would take me there."
