Link had felt like he searched the whole city, but he couldn't find any signs of Navi or Sheik. It was obvious to him now, especially after talking with some people via the...talky-thingy, that he wasn't in Hyrule anymore.

The Hylian made his way back to the park, as it was the place most like the forest he grew up in, and thus, a little more homey in his eyes. Despite the fake plants and such, he still liked it. It was when he entered that he noticed a rather beautiful young woman. Now, Link was not sexist, but most women dressed as her tended not to be the strongest of people, and although he had yet to run into one, there was sure to be bad people running around here. He slowly approached her. "Do you need any help?"

She turned (making sure her movement was as girlish as it was graceful, delicate hands poised just so), full lips parted into an O. "Oh!" Ursula gasped with surprise, voice disguised as well. In truth, she'd noticed his approach before he said anything, but this would add to the sense of vulnerability she wanted to convey.

Wide eyes glimmering, she placed her hand to her heart, smiling sheepishly. "You startled me, sir." She stepped closer, lifting the hem of her skirt so she wouldn't trip. "Would you happen to know where I am?" She blushed, a charming, pale pink tinting her cheeks. "I...I seem to have lost my way."

Link was taken aback. She seemed much more helpless than he thought. "I didn't mean to scare you." He rubbed the back of his neck somewhat awkwardly. "I was told that this place is called Paixao, but other than that, I don't think I know any more than you do." Great help he was. Link hadn't been in the city for long, and he was still learning his way around.

"If you'd like, we could look around together, though I still don't know my way around." He started, realizing that he had yet to introduce himself. "I'm Link by the way. What's your name?"

Link? She quickly took in his pointed ears and his strange mode of dress. Ursula had heard of beings such as elves before but thought they were myth, or perhaps extinct. Well, no matter. She covered up her brief moment of thought by pretending she was shyly appreciative of his appearance, one hand pressed against a blushing cheek.

"O-oh, my name is Vanessa," she replied quickly, thinking back on the gestures and movements of younger, silly-headed girls. She giggled nervously, stepping closer. Should she take his arm? No, no, don't lay it on too think. "Thank you for helping me, Link." She glanced away, appearing a bit troubled.

"It helps to know...I'm not the only one in this predicament."

Thanks to Ursula's acting along with Link's usual obliviousness, Link saw nothing out of the ordinary with 'Vanessa.' He thought she was a bit too helpless, but he blamed that on a possible sheltered background.

"No problem." Link gave Vanessa an encouraging smile. "I think there are a lot of people in the same boat as us, but it helps to find a friend."

There was one problem with this situation. Where were they going? Link thought it best to find someone in office in Paixao, but he didn't know who was in charge here, not to mention knowing where to find that person. In the end, Link came up with another idea. "Maybe we should find a place where we can sit and find out where we want to go." There was no use running around town and wasting energy on nothing.
