He straightens up and returns Chari's bow "I am well, thank you for your concern and thank you for agreeing to speak with me."
"Think nothing of it, it's not every day that one speaks with a Hylian Prince."
"Indeed, I must admit I'm ashamed that this is my first time ever speaking with a member of your tribe, or with any Rito for that matter, so forgive me if I offend, I assure you it is done out of ignorance and without malice if I do so."
"That is understandable, we Rito do not stray very far from our homes in the mountains, so it doesn't surprise me that you haven't met one before. What do you know of the Rito, prince."
Jinom repeats what Aemon had told him and Chari responds with a cooing noise and a nod. "You are better informed than you know prince. Yes, we are rather cautious and wary around strangers. It comes from us not being able to leave our mountain."
"Why is that, if you don't mind me asking?"
Chari chirps and flinches as if she had just been slapped.
"Sorry I didn't mean to insult-"
"It is alright I shouldn't have mentioned it. It's a sensitive subject."
"I understand," Jinom says, then quickly changing the subject before a silence can settle, he says "What have you heard about my people."
