Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Kala does not move when Irina speaks to her. “I don't need to hear an explanation when I see something with my own eyes. He loaded the crossbow, aimed at us, and shot. He almost killed us. It was clearly intentional and he needs to stay away.”

"I don't know if there's a helm left for me to be at, but we'll figure that out later," Mipha smiled at Fred's humor. It was nice break from the intensity of their surroundings. Irina is given a light nod and smile, "I am always glad to help."

Her smile fades as she looks away to see who Kala is speaking with. Her attention then returns to Link, "Right. Let's get Fred out of the water. I think he's spent long enough in it."

Revali's instinct is to grab his bow no sooner than he sees the weapon brandished against him. What he ends up with is the crossbow, since it also occupied a place on his person. He briefly looks it over with a pained expression and holds it out, despite it being unloaded. "I don't usually like having weapons pointed my direction," he begins.

"But, I...can't say it isn't justified. My testing of this thing nearly hurt everyone." He tosses it against the deck. "I didn't treat it with the care that was needed." He stood back with his wings at his sides. "A sorry isn't going to be enough to make up for what happened. I know it wouldn't be enough for me."

“No, it's not enough. You don't aim at people when you ‘test’ weapons.” Kala points at the Rito with her hook. “Stay away.” She turns to join the group.

Irina watches Kala as she passes by her, then Revali. Her expression is confused and hurt.

“If you believe he did not do anything wrong,” Kala adds, this time speaking to Irina, “you are welcome to join him.” With this, she goes back to the group.

Red was a bit torn up about this himself. It is himself he's having to either deny or support. Kala did have a solid argument. "Look, we've already got enough to deal with. Maybe just hang back until things cool down," he offers to Blue.

Revali closed his eyes and turned away in frustration, "Obviously! It's a crossbow, clearly not a bow I'm used to handling! It's rare for me to have to admit such a thing, but this is one of few bows that I didn't use effectively." He folded his wings. "But fine, if it makes her royal highness happy, I'll just be over here." He finds an empty spot on the deck to occupy and stands around to brood.

_Gatu grunts as he forces himself to shift, in which he gets himself to sit up against a railing._
"Is everyone accounted for, or are we still missing people?" _Gatu asked, though it felt hard to breath right now. He really hopes the explosion didn't cause him to break a rib or something..._

Kala’s remark makes Irina's expression changes from hurt to serious. “That is not what I said,” she replies firmly, well aware that the princess cannot hear her anymore.

With this, she approaches Revali, decided and with head held high. “Can I keep you company?” She asks the blue Rito.

Mipha looks over each person to make sure they're counted before answering Gatu's question. "Yes, we are all here, but our conditions are not in a good place." She states now that they're all on deck. Fred was stable, thankfully. Still in need of work, but at least he should be alright.

"Outside of the actual captain and his associate, we're all here," she continued. "But it's hard to say if that will maintain, at the moment." She was aware of the tensions building around Revali. Even she had her suspicions. Kala certainly thought so and she found it difficult not to take her stance into consideration.

"No one is to be alone. We should form pairs to conduct any tasks from here onward. If our numbers are uneven, then partner swapping is possible, but the odd one out is to stay up here on the deck." She's still ticking away in her mind trying to keep things together. "We need to gather whatever is salvageable. Food, water, munitions, curatives and anything else of particular use and value. Anything that is found is to be sorted on the deck."

"Sounds like a plan... Once you're ready, I could use some healing too please... I think I broke a rib when I hit the water against something under the surface..." _Gatu says, trying to keep his strength and not black out as he adjusts and props himself in an upright sitting position. Other than the broken rib that's making it hard to breath and the burns stinging his skin, it was then he realizes he doesn't have the Bone Sword on him._

"Oh for Hylia's sake... I was starting to get attached to that Bone Sword." _Gatu added, feeling sad a good bit since it probably got destroyed in the blast, somehow thrown past the barrier, or sunk to the gosh darn bottom of this dang sea..._

Link sets Fred down on the deck and props him up against some ropes that are arranged in a neat pile. Once he is certain that he is in a more or less comfortable position, he rises and gives a solemn nod to Mipha, trying to avoid the tension on the deck.

“I will check the stores below to see what is available. Anyway, it looks like most of the damage was on this level near the canons. I suppose that the gunpowder was ignited.” The area near where the canons were is completely gone and still smoldering.

He climbs down below deck and can be heard rummaging around.

Fred in the meantime is sitting up and in a daze. He is strong, however, and does his best to prop himself up. “We are fortunate to have your magic, your highness.” he says weakly to Mipha.

The bokoblin turns and sees something in the ropes. He pulls out the bone sword and tosses it to Gatu. “It's a little charred but still useful, me thinks.” He coughs a little from the effort.
