A VISIT TO rito village was never complete until she found time to visit the flight range. it was where she found revali training during nearly every one of her visits before the calamity struck. as much as he wanted his talent to seem natural, he worked just as hard as any of the other champions. she had little doubt that this would have been where he'd want her to pay her respects.
SHE WAS RARELY alone no matter what time of day she visited, & so she wasn't surprised to see teba & tulin–––– the latter moving through the sky & hitting targets as if he had been destined to do so. she hadn't expected to be turned away, but she was still glad teba didn't mind her sitting in on their training sessions.
SHE TOOK A seat by the fire, turning her full attention to teba for just a moment. there was no way zelda could let the use of her title go without even a small tease.
❝ i would remind you, again, that there's no need for titles, but i'm beginning to accept that the reminders are ineffective. ❞
TULIN FLEW BY as she laughed, bringing a gust of wind with him & successfully turning her attention back to the trainee. he was very clearly working hard & had been working hard. but, most of all, he seemed to enjoy it & that realization made zelda feel warm even amongst the frigid temperatures.
❝ he's become very skilled. one might think that he was born knowing how to use a bow. ❞
SHE KNEW, OF course, that it was because of his father's teachings. teba was a mighty warrior in his own right, & it was gratifying & heartwarming to see tulin be able to follow in his footsteps because he wanted to, not because it was a necessity in a world ruled by calamity.
❝ you must be very proud.❞
