[Link, completely unbothered by the day's rain, is out by the river this afternoon. He's been here many times in the past month; he's walked along it, he's walked over it, he's thrown all-purpose bait into it in a fit of blind optimism and come up empty handed. It's the only body of water around, and as someone who spent his life on a tiny island

[What sort of question is that!]

For sailing.

Down the river. [DUHHH.]

[Voice]

[angryaffliction]

A boat? Are you trying to sail down the river?

[Video]

[windsport]

[He nods!]

And up it. [Because he can do that.]

[angryaffliction]

Hmm...

Smart.

This place has been rotting for a century though, so I doubt you'll find any good materials for a boat this side of the river.

[At least somebody understands the value of a boat...]

I can look in Credinta.

[alma_karma]

[He makes a little noise of agreement.] I haven't seen any...

[This is so disappointing, how are there no boats.]

Yeah!

[Hello again, strange child.]

Not that I know of. Is there a reason you're looking for one?

For sailing.

[Nevermind that there is nowhere... in particular to sail, as the river ends after about a dozen miles in either direction. STILL GOTTA HAVE A BOAT.]

[tothelastbreath]

[His tone is gentle, in case the poor kid is thinking of sailing home.]

To go exploring! Boats are faster.

[theloneheir]

You'd be better off creating your own. Or swimming.

[windsport]

I'm going to build a boat. [This has been decided by now!]

[theloneheir]

With what?

[windsport]

Wood. [DURRR.]
