[It's time for another Yanese fes -- Hm. Wait.]
Hello, Corsairs.
[The image of Shu has some... alterations from its usual appearance. One arm is in a sling and bandages run up the length of the visible skin.]
It is time to begin the harvest. This year, I humbly request your assistance with this task. I am experiencing some physical limitations at the moment.
[Anyone more than casually familiar with Shu may find this a bit odd, given she is a highly proficient healer.]
If you are willing, please stop by the fields in Vault at your convenience. ...I will feed you, of course.
[harvest 1]
[After running through the general idea of how to operate the oxen and the thresher, Shu gently encourages you to go ahead with a pat on the back. It probably goes fairly well at first. Perhaps even for a significant length of time. ...And then, for some reason, one of the plants you run the thresher over explodes???, violently spooking the oxen until you find yourself directing two runaway beasts headed straight into the cavern wall of the Vault.]
Oh, dear. I forgot I was growing those Bomb Plants... Ah, please do aim away from the wall.
[She sounds very calm about this despite that you're headed for rocky death.]
[harvest 2]
[Both you and Shu are holding a sickle. Shu demonstrates the correct hand motion for you to mimic, after which she gives an approving nod.]
In Dahuang, we sing during the harvest times to make the work go faster. ~ Ti oh oh, bei lok ho ~ ...
Here, teach me a song from your world and we shall reap the wheat together.
[harvest 3]
[Where is the ultra fancy feast?? As Shu brings out the food, it is perhaps a little disappointing that it is a simple meal of rice gruel and vegetables. Perhaps it is her injury. But perhaps not? She explains as she doles out a bowl.]
Please, have a seat and take a break.
This is the traditional meal the farmers eat at lunchtime. It is nutritious and hearty, made from the same crops you are harvesting right this moment. Let us share this time together. Tell me, how did you fare on this last mission?

Shu makes an attempt at extrapolation.
"Ah -- and these shrines had... old weapons or artifacts, perhaps?"
welp, guess that’s what I get then
Date: 2025-08-19 04:49 am (UTC)"Spirit orbs," he says - before pausing to think about how exactly to explain what they were. "...They helped me get stronger. After I woke up."
And boy, had he needed them. Those early days had been...challenging.

Date: 2025-08-19 02:01 pm (UTC)This didn't sound like anything she was familiar with, but she thinks she can vaguely understand the process now.
"So when you first awakened, you needed to regain your strength through supernatural means before you could challenge the creature that had plunged your world into darkness. And that was the purpose of these shrines and orbs? It sounds almost as if they were made for such a contingency... in case such a terrible thing came to pass."

There were lots of things like that, in Hyrule. Things that had been made for him, specifically. For the Hero. Either by ancient Sheikah monks, or...Zelda herself, in the past. He'd learned to get used to them.
Even if it was also a bit...awkward, being the focus of so much historical attention.

Date: 2025-08-22 03:15 am (UTC)Shu does not say anything for a moment, her gaze turning out over the fields of wheat instead. Link does not appear to be particularly pleased, though her intuition cannot discern exactly why. She responds with the most natural thought that comes to mind.
"Then... they were right to trust in you. Those efforts were not in vain, in the end."
