ITP: he come to town

[but_a_link]

[From the east comes a long-eared boy in a green tunic (and matching hat)! He has a shiny sword and shield strapped to his back, and he's leading a beautiful brown horse along by her reins.

As the boy comes closer to you -- yes, you! -- he raises a hand to wave pleasantly.]

Excuse me! Can you tell me how to get to Hyrule from here?

((OH RIGHT

I don't think so ... since I've never heard of it, haha.

[looking at your horse]

[but_a_link]

[looks a little stunned] ...Never heard of it? It's one of the oldest kingdoms in the known world!

[failingheaven]

Ah ... I'm sorry. I'm not from around here, you see.

[but_a_link]

Ah, no, that's alright. I was just surprised, that's all. I didn't think I was far enough from Hyrule that people wouldn't know of it.

[failingheaven]

You might be a lot further away than you think you are ... everyone's surprised to start with! I was.

[but_a_link]

I see... Is it some kind of magic? I suppose that's not too implausible, considering the things I've seen recently...

[failingheaven]

Magic, no ... it's more ...

I don't really know what it is.

[but_a_link]

[chuckle] Well, thank you anyway. Ah, my name is Link. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[failingheaven]

I'm Layfon. It's nice to meet you, too.

[but_a_link]

[nods] Can you tell me anything more about this... camp?

[failingheaven]

I'll do my best ... ah, it's in "America" ... you can breathe the air! Some places you can't. It's swampland, and you can't actually leave here again, and I think you shouldn't eat soup on Tuesdays.

[but_a_link]

[nodding, seeming to accept all of this] Because of the barrier, right? [and then] ...Only on Tuesdays?

[failingheaven]

It seems that way ... I don't really understand it, either. Something about it being made of something most people don't want to eat. And yes ... the barrier's a bit inconvenient.

[but_a_link]

Well, thank you for the warning. ...It sounds like it. I have some ideas about how to deal with it, but there's no guarantee they'll work, considering how strong people have told me it is...
