Where My Future Lies [Open]

The blonde stepped through the halls inside the castle, her crimson eyes observing the walls and window art that was built in. It was astonishing to be inside such an important building in all of Hyrule, was this the reason for several outsiders to be filled with tension to be inside? Nami momentarily closed her eyes and her hand rose to the cloth over her lips and adjusted to fix the overlapping of the Sheikah eye.

Clank clank clank.

When she opened them and turned around when there was a clank behind her, she found herself catching a glimpse of a red cape pass through the doorway to part the hallway. Red cape, maybe a guard? The sheikah began to follow the unknown person from the door arch and silently kept her distance to calculate and determine the person in front of her. Gold armor, so yes, a guard, the sword.. well, for such a tall person they would need it. Enough of the stalking, Nami had made her presence to the figure with a small groan and a huff to capture their attention.

The emblem on the cape is an impressive insignia, Hylian for sure. Gold armor.. odd for a soldier, no?

The figured turned to reveal himself to the girl, having her eyes squint to the blond and raised her brows to his height. Someone must've been lucky to get that height.. but he's not a guard, he's a soldier. Nami gritted her teeth together, that wasn't something to really expect honestly, most of the soldiers were outside of the castle. Letting out another huff to gain some air to respond to him, he was being courteous to her even when he caught her sneaking up on him. She bowed her head down to show respect.

"I apologize, I was passing through and heard you walk through behind me. I'm a sheikah, I just like knowing what's going on around me." Nami stated to the male, picking her head up to have her arms cross against her chest and gazed up towards his eyes. I do need his name if he's a soldier then. "Who are you, soldier? Clearly, it seems we haven't crossed paths before. If we're going to be seeing each other like this, I would prefer to get your name. Every face has a name."

"Well, unless you're blind, soldier." Nami bluntly reported up to him, picking her chin up to show him the Sheikah eye on her cloth. "You would be able to tell I am one. Since we're in the same occupation, it would add up right, correct?" Her brow raised up slight upon the bow and nodded her head to his introduction, fixing her cloth once more over her mouth. A mild mouth on him, but polite enough. "The pleasure is returned likewise, Josh."

Has he been here long? Having a special colored armor would signify an importance, would it not? The blonde replied to the question he asked. "I'm new, I suppose. I've never been in Hyrule for a long period of time, maybe once or twice during my training. I would imagine you know a few other Sheikah here as well." Nami's tapped hands rubbed together lightly and replied back with a question of her own. "I mean no offense, but are you new as well?"

I suppose he has a point, that could've gone bad if I just said where the Royal Family is too and watch Hyrule crumble. Regardless, Nami nodded to his advice with a stubborn response of leaving her arms crossed over her metal chest plate. This character wasn't difficult to read either, his body language was open and wasn't worried about saying the wrong thing, even the extent of his vocabulary. Though hearing of his knowledge of her tribal roots had her raise her hand up to him and raise a finger.

"I'll allow you to keep going before I correct any errors." The female responded back to his theory and let out a small exhale, biting her tongue slightly. If he has a mouth likewise to hers, it'd end in a blunder for the two. But she was a little relieved to hear she isn't the newest person to be here, a month is still considered new here. Unless his head is swelled. "It's good to hear you've drawn blades in fights before. Wouldn't be so useful to have a blind run through going in and risking failure."

"Hylian and Sheikah may be similar, yes, but it's the only theory that we're connected in a bloodline years and years ago. It's a hit or miss for some historians, it seems. Not like we can go back and find out for ourselves." 

What a cocky clown, Nami thought over to herself and nodded to his joke to have it go right over her head. "If you know so much, you can inform me, Josh." She addressed him, letting him continue. "I see no errors in your knowledge so far. I stated I would only comment if there was an error, so far you're correct." The answer was clear enough, but no use to get someone worked up and try to taunt them over it. Course, her error before was on her own and kept it in the back of her head.

She might have been trained for most of her life to be doing the job, but this guy seemed to have the experience that Nami is sadly lacking. There's a difference between training and experience. Nami will eventually get her feet wet and have some experience up her sleeve. "I'm impressed that you're new along with me, they must've seen what you've done before and couldn't pass up what you've completed."

The blonde female nodded her head and just swallowed the comment she was creating, shaking it off. Nami continued to flow with their conversation they were carrying. "Right.. but the past matters for the future to continue on. Might not know the future, but you control your present. Let people see you now, correct?" She couldn't speak on his term, everything she trained for in her past was for her to be there now as a guardian.

Her wrapped hands brushed her hair away from her face, looking around the room side to side to make small observations around her before picking up from the pause. "If I may, you're here now, what matters is right here and now. We have people to stand for and protect, that's the present." What else could I say? She couldn't say much if she didn't relate to Josh's past too well, plus this man picked up on the lack of social conversations Nami has been in, easier to drop it lightly instead of salting the wound more.
