She nodded, accepting his apology. "And I must apologize for my lateness. I saw your rather large escort and mistook it for an army. As the entire reason for this exercise is peace, I thought you must be someone else." She smiled slightly, though her eyes stayed remote. "Now, of course, I can see my mistake." There were several ways he could take that, but she didn't bother to clarify.
"I'm afraid we don't have room for your entire escort, although you may, of course, keep a guard with you. The rest would likely be most comfortable camping outside of the city in Hyrule Field. Is that acceptable?"
Inariie caught it, a brief pause before Gannondorf spoke that shouldn't have been there. Something about the girl had surprised him. She craned her neck further, and almost lost her balance as her horse shied alway from Sila's. She shot the animal an exasperated look.

Ganondorf chuckled. "Mistaken identity is nothing new for me. I will send my women back outside the walls." He turned about, facing the rest of his force. "Back outside the walls!" he barked. "Set up camp! I'll be checking in an hour or two!" That taken care of, he turned back to the princess. "Again, my apologies for the great numbers."
Dashing across the drawbridge Hyn came, his eyes fixed on the Gerudo army before him. A sort of blank astonishment read on his features. There were a very few Hylians who were glancing at him, gasping in surprise, but most didn't recognize him; it was just as well, although he could hardly care at the moment. At the moment, he was trying to wrap his mind around the fact he was facing.
Gerudos. And they were inside the city walls. Inside the castle walls. He slowly came to a stop, unaware that now much of the crowd who didn't know him was giving him a confused stare. The Gerudos were turning around again, facing him alone in the pathway the Hylians had left open. Yet he couldn't bring himself to move. What was happening was unthinkable. The Princess was indeed being married to a foreigner. It wasn't right. It couldn't be right, no matter what the motivation.
Still he stood in the path, swaying slightly as though injured but unwilling to fall, rooted to the spot like his feet had turned to lead.

"Lord Gannon, should I aide the others at getting settled, or do you wish for me to stay?" Artemis asked from atop her horse. As the daughter of the former leader of the gerudo's, she felt a certain obligation to here fellow warriors, though at the same time, as a member of the elite squad, she knew it was her place to stay with her King.

Kia stared around at the others in the Elite Guard.
"My Lord, shall the Elite stay with you?" she asked, cutting off Artemis quickly. Her mare nosed around at the other horses in the elite squad. As Kia glanced around, she finally settled on the Princess.
~Looks aren't everything~ she thought, angry.
Sila looked apologetically at Inariie.
"Sorry about that..." she muttered across the horses. Then she glanced over at Kia.
~What is she thinking?~ she asked herself, noting the frustrated look on her face.
Kohana watched as a man ran into the city. Confused as to his posture, she left the crowd to join him in the middle of the path.
"Are you alright?" she asked softly, trying not to gain attention. She felt slightly ill, but she shrugged in off to the fact that she wasn't even stepping in water.

Hyn could only stare and shake his head. Finally he managed to get a few words out. "No. No, I'm fine," he responded, trying to rally himself into movement. For a long moment it didn't work, but finally he managed to move one of his feet, and the rest came easily. He stepped out of the way only just in time, the Gerudo mass giving him a strange look.
"Thank you, by the way; you woke me up," he added to the Zora.
"No, I don't think I'll need you for now," Ganondorf responded, slightly distractedly. "Thank you anyhow."

Kohana placed a dry hand onto Hyn's shoulders as they stepped out of the way.
"You should pay more attention..." she murmered, looking at the gerudo army. One hand still on Hyn, she put another hand up to her forehead, as she was getting a slight headache.
"By the way, you're welcome. My name is Kohana," she said a bit louder than before.

Suddenly the army seemed to turn around, heading back in the direction on the gate, "Alright Bowie listen. When they come by, just push your way through to the center and follow them out." Link back up against the wall and began to wait.
"Of course," Artemis replied, then turned her horse into the crowd. Slowly, sshe made her way towards the front of the army, shouting out instructions to the Gerudos. Out of the corner of her eye, once again she spotted the bioy from earlier, 'What is with this kid?'

Zelda watched Gannondorf's guards without any apparent interest, then turned back to him. "My father is waiting to meet you in the throne room; if you will follow me?" She turned and walked back through the enormous double doors, and started across the polished marble floor of the great hall. The real Zelda, the one who was certain that she was reading about this whole thing in a book, automatically started going over everything she knew about Gerudo culture.
Inariie glanced at Sila. "It's fine," she said, her voice distracted. She sent one last look towards Gannondorf, but all his attention was directed towards the princess, who was now walking back into the castle. She sighed, turned her horse around, and started to follow the rest of the army out.
edit: I had something in here about Inariie being annoyed at Link, but I thought he didn't see it, so I deleted it. Turns out he did. He. So, anyway, insert annoyed Inariie here.

Link stared up at the horsebacked woman and apologized, "Once again I am truly sorry. We'll leave." His blue eyes glared at the fourteen year old boy in a way that screamed, 'Now'.

Kia and Sila both turned their mounts around and left with the rest of the army. While Kia was glancing back every so often at their leader with adoration in her eyes, Sila simply kept her eyes ahead. She didn't feel comfortable not around Ganondorf, not because she admired him, but because she was worried.

Hidden deep within the Gerudo's troop, The two teenagers made it past the garuds. Link pulled the boy back to the side of the town where bowie lived, "Alright, I'd better get you home." As Link commented, he noticed Kohana nearby, speaking with a dirty man.

Kohana felt herself being watched. Turning, she saw Link standing with the other Hylian boy.
~Him again? How dare he! He left me when he had agreed to take me!~ she thought angrily. Turning back to Hyn, she grinned.
"Sor--" she started before feeling a wave of nausea come over her. Wobbling on her legs, she finally collapsed.
((Yes, Kohana literally hates Link right now))

(And that is called being spoiled ^_^, I like it 3nodding )
Link's ears perked in curiosity as the girl shot him a dirty look, 'What did I do to her?' he thought but decided to clear the idea from his mind. He had seen the princess and now he needed to get home. His mother was probably worried out of her mind and with all these warriors around, Link did not feel safe leaving Epona outside. With that thought in mind, Link casually followed Bowie down a nearby street to his home.

Artemis watched as Inariie spoke with the boy, 'What is she doing?' she thought but decided to hold her tongue for the time being. Once they were outside the town walls, the girl casually made her way over to her slight elder, "So, what ere you tow talking about in there?"
