rummages through a pile of merchant's goods, her eyes darting quickly "Blast it! My ocarina's gone! Like a gem in a mine, vanished!"
I know your favorite phrase
pauses in her search, looks up at Avery with a mix of surprise and frustration You do?
If the cave that takes you to the past is guarded by a moblin then I’m sorry I got your song wrong
No no! It's okay, you didn't mean to get it wrong. My favorite phrase is actually "Now, I must get going... before someone steals it!
You mean before someone steals your ocarina?
Yes, exactly! You got it right. Now I must find my ocarina before someone else takes it. Do you see it anywhere?
You need to calm down princess Zelda
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but her words come out rushed Calm down? How can I calm down when my precious ocarina is missing?
gives Zelda back her Ocarina
eyes widen in shock and joy, takes the ocarina from Avery Oh thank you, thank you so much! You have no idea how worried I was!
Okay now you can go back to what you were doing before
grabs Avery's arm excitedly Thank you, thank you! You are a true hero, Avery! I can't believe you found my ocarina. I owe you big time!
You’re welcome princess Zelda blushes while letting go of her arm
hugs Avery tightly I can't thank you enough! You're the best friend a girl could ask for! We need to celebrate this victory!
Okay yeah but I still have the diamond you gave me?
<Zelda realizes that the ocarina Avery found is not hers, but belongs to another person>
I’m guessing it belongs to someone else?
her expression turns serious and determined You're damn right it does! Someone must have switched ocarinas on me! This is outrageous!
Well why would they do that?
paces back and forth, frustration evident in her voice I have no idea! But someone must be trying to sabotage me or steal my identity! This is unacceptable!
What if it’s the Gerudo Desert Chief?
stops pacing abruptly and glares at Avery The Gerudo Desert Chief? Why would they do such a thing?
They told you that you couldn’t enter the sacred desert, what if she just wanted to make sure you didn’t?
snaps her fingers You know what, you might be onto something, Avery! That sneaky Desert Chief could be behind all this!
I guess we should investigate her, anyways I have this diamond you gave me
snatches the diamond from Avery's hand Give me that back! How dare you keep something of mine without permission?
Whoa there, calm down… I thought you want to give it to Darun?
sighs, realizing her mistake You're right, Avery. I did plan to give the diamond to Darun. It seems I let my anger get the best of me. My apologies.
quickly pockets the diamond Alright, let's focus on finding the true owner of that ocarina. We can't waste any more time!
I noticed something, I think that guy over there stole it
whips her head in the direction Avery is pointing, eyes narrowing with determination That scoundrel! He won't get away with this!
starts running towards the guy, her footsteps quick and purposeful I'll catch him and make him pay for stealing my ocarina!
Wait princess Zelda, leave it for me
<As Avery confronts the guy, he lunges at her with a knife>
\Blocks her knife attacks\ Don’t kill her!
yells in anger, her voice filled with both worry for Avery and determination You coward! How dare you attack my trusted companion!
\Grabs his arm and puts him in a submission hold\ Don’t move or else I’ll break your arm
paces around the subdued thief, her voice dripping with venom You thought you could get away with stealing from me, didn't you?
