[Link appears, crouched down and holding a fishing pole] Why does this always happen at the worst times? [looks forlornly at his now empty line]

What were you doing?

Ill luck?

Fishing. It's a good pasttime.

I wasn't doing too badly. I thought I'd felt a bite before I arrived here, though.

That happens to me, now and again. It's certainly inconvenient.

[nods] I still don't understand why or how we even get here. It's starting to get more than annoying.

It's with a thought, conscious or otherwise, that brings us here, and the same thought that brings us home.

Is there any way to keep that thought away?

Don't think about it.

I don't understand. I wasn't thinking about this place when I arrived. So not thinking doesn't seem to work either.

Or did you mean something else?

Fishing, right?

I see. Sometimes, this place draws people back, whether or not they want to be, it seems.

Yes. I almost had a Hylian Loach, too.

What's the purpose, though?

Fishing, hmm? Did you catch anything?

An experiment, as far as I know.

Hn. Then there must be a way to stop it.

No, but I almost did. [sighs] That fish is rare, too.

I have no idea what that means.

There must, but without even knowing what they're hoping to accomplish with this, it will be difficult.

Ah, it's a type of fish I was trying to catch.

How big is it?

[excited--someone to talk to about fishing!] It's a good size, one of the biggest, and really rare.

You enjoy fishing, too?

I live in the middle of Africa, so I don't get much a chance.

Ever heard of Chilean Sea Bass?

Africa? What's that? And I haven't heard of that fish; is it good?

Big dry place.

[as a response, she flicks off the plane and then returns a moment later with a huge chunk of fish in a little bag, which she drops to the ground]

It's fantastic.

Like the Gerudo Desert. [nodsnods, understanding]

[blinks at the flicking on and off the plane] How'd you...? Nevermind. [checks out the fish] It doesn't look too bad, really.

Not bad? This stuff is expensive.

Oh? Then I'm sure it's really good. [yum, fish!]

I like red meat better, so it's just sitting there.

What's your name?

Ah, ok. Thanks! And I'm Link. Nice to meet you.

Shenzi.

Really? What kind of fish was it?

A Hylian Loach! I've been trying to catch one for a long time now.

[Has no idea what a Hylian Loach is] That sounds really impressive! But it got away from you in the end there, didn't it?

Yeah, it did. I like to fish though, so I'll keep trying for it. It's a good pasttime.
