If you don't mind us asking, why are you on imposed rest right now? And who imposed it?

Well, without question. How could this visage be altered, even beyond the crossing of time streams. It'd be a crime. Speaking of time stream crossing, how did the portals between our timelines treat you? Teba never complained, and Tulin snuck through on his own, but last time I asked Daruk's descendant, he mentioned being sick on entrance.

You ever see or visit the princess or the other champions?

...No. Not... not right now. Hyrule is still in a state of disrepair. There's too much to do to devote time to frivolous rendezvous. Not that I'd be opposed, but... well, I got off lightly. Hebra remains nearly untouched by the Calamity. Hyrule Ridge, being a sinking wetlands and constantly stormy, acted as a natural barrier. I have the least work to do rebuilding. The only other champions who got off as easy as I did have... more pressing matters to attend to. Mipha is the most prominent healer alive, and has more than a few injured to tend to, and Urbosa has mobilized the Gerudo as both a search and rescue and monster annihalation force in Central Hyrule, where most of the devastation is. And while I'd considered doing the same with the Rito, the fundamental truth is that there'd be too many chefs in the kitchen. Rito are not as physically strong as the Gerudo, typically, so we'd be at most, a hinderance during rescue operations. Not to mention I'm... still on an imposed rest. ...And Link... is with Her Majesty. He's still her knight, after all. And she has the most work to do out of all of us. It's not just Central Hyrule, it's the casualties of the event, the attacks of the guardians, the Castle Town is practically uninhabitable. There's... no reason they'd break from their busy schedule to come all the way out here. And even if I have the least to do, someone always needs help, and I will never abandon Rito Village when I'm needed.

What's it like piloting Vah Medoh?

There's a difference between manning and piloting, which bears specification. Vah Medoh, for the most part, can control itself in the air. She's one of the most brilliantly sophisticated machines to ever exist, after all. If she couldn't simply circle in the air, that would astound me more. Manning Vah Medoh is simple. From the central terminal, I can simply view through any of her cameras, aim, and fire. There's precious little need to do much else. I designate a flight path, or invite her to use her sensors to seek out Malice, and she'll find her way to whatever needs destroying without my help. Piloting is more complex. Through a complex process which requires a level of highly focused meditation, I connect with Vah Medoh through the terminal, and essentially, percieve the entire body of the divine beast, and can instruct her motions and attacks as though it were my own body. In all truth, it's positively exhausting, but that's not unique to me. The amount of cognition required can quickly exhaust the pilot, and thus, the Princess informed all of us that true piloting should only be done in short bursts, less than half an hour, long ago. But, it's gotten easier as time goes on.

Happy Pride Month, Revali! Have a little flag on a stick, you can wave it around or something. I also made some rainbow-colored hard candies if you'd like any.

....These Message Portals can recieve items to the slate... Across timestreams... ...I'm... going to make the decision not to question it. Regardless, thank you. I'll put this on the shelf above my hammock.

Happy Pride Month, Revali! I made some rainbow-colored candy, you should try one!

I shall accept your trivial offering, since it is my month.

...

Hey do you think this is too.... obvious? Perhaps I should adapt my outfit a tad before we leave the roost. I do hate to be the victim of senseless rumours... am I being dramatic? Hm.

Bowyer here, why do you hold your bow left handed and upside-down? Were you taught to shoot that way or is it something of your own invention? Do you attribute any of your success with the bow to your unique technique? Thanks!

Here's an interesting lesson in the differences between Hylian and Rito bow construction. When do you think a sight that's primarily elevation based is most effective, when you're on the ground, on a mostly consistent elevation, or in the air, shooting straight down at your target? Addendum to that, do you think a stabilizer is more helpful when on mostly level ground, or again, flying, or falling, at high speeds?

No, my bow is not upside down, it has a longer sight which functions as an auxiliary stabilizer and lacks elevation based aiming due to the lack of need for them, alongside a wider, heavier primary stabilizer for purposes of eliminating microadjustments created by wind resistance, which are common staples in Rito bow construction. For Hylians, this is looks as though it should be upside down on first glance, but if you felt it in hand, you would not believe that.

As for why I use it left handed, I'll remind you of the ever-reliable problem-solving principle known as Occam's Razor.
