The Zora simply nodded, taking advantage of the situation for the obvious reason that he could live to struggle on if he went with Ashieth. He limped and stumbled a bit, but sure enough the aquatic prisoner would be able to get out of the crowd safely. Once outside the madness, the two would be faced with a choice: leave the town or try working it out with the Royal Family.
"What're you waiting for?" Asked the Zora stopping for a moment. "... No," he corrected, "you should go to your castle. Forget this ever happened." With that the creature turned to the West exit and made a dive into the river system running nearby. By this time Ashieth was spotted by the guards.
"OY! Princess!" They shouted as those who could leave the fight approached. "You're coming with us!"

Princess Ashieth
Staying at the zora's side, Ash helped him make his way to safety, ready to help him walk if needed. The shouting died down a bit as the two managed to make their way to a calmer area.
Her attention shot onto the zora as he asked what she was waiting for before stating that she should go back to the castle and forget the events. "Wait." She spoke as he turned, Ash reached out to gently grab his wrist but stopped herself short as he took off and dove into the river. She wanted to insure he was alright, but with the current, he was probably already off.
The sounds of guards calling out behind her snapped Ashieth out of her thoughts as she turned towards them. "Not without an explanation."she spoke in a soft yet firm voice. Just what was happening? What were they trying to hide from her?
With: A Zora and guards Feeling:Nervous but wanting to help
"Come with us and you'll get one," snapped the leader of the two. "We're not authorised to tell you..." They came closer, having a chance to grab her before the crowds closed in on them again. Ashieth was liable to be captured, but this wasn't so bad as the castle would be much more safe than this. Rocks and bottles and shields made man-made thunder as wailing from families rung out from windows in the square. The revolution, if it could be called such, was here.

Princess Ashieth
As the guards instructed that she come with them back to the castle, Ash cast a look over her shoulder at the river. Surely the zora was gone and on his way home. She'd done what she could, better get back before getting in even more trouble. With a silent sigh, Ash turned back to the guards and gave a small nod, knowing that even if she refused the guards would easily be able to just grab her and carry her back. "Alright"
People seemed to gather, still shouting and rioting as the guards closed in around Ash. Whatever was going on was big. And she was going to help bring back the peace.
Behind the strong, heavy doors of the castle there wasn't so much as a whisper of the tumult raging in the streets below. The guards were about to give Ash a nice lecture on the merit of staying responsible and not getting involved with some things and yada yad, when a quiet echo sent from the shoes of the king lapped at the shore of the princess' ear. His wasn't a face of anger, unlike the guards, but of genuine concern.
"Ashieth! ... What were you thinking going out there??"

Princess Ashieth
The walls of the castle seemed to block out everything happening in the town, as if the rioting was merely a dream.As her and the guards came to a stop, Ash prepared herself for a long lecture on the importance of her staying within the castle walls and not wandering off into the town. When, to her surprise, the familiar voice of her father came through the halls. Turning to look at him, Ash almost immediately felt a sense of guilt seeing her father's look of concern and worry. He'd always been so kind and caring.
"Father, ...." Ashieth paused for a moment "I-I just wanted to help. There was a Zora who seemed to be in trouble." she spoke calmly. A look of determination came to her face as she gazed at her father lovingly "I want to help the Kingdom. Just like you."
Almost as soon as the words left her lips the King wrapped Ash in a warm embrace, thrilled to death that she was not only alive but had such a noble spirit. This, however, came to an end with the return of that old look of worry the King had before.
"... That Zora is a criminal of the highest degree," he said flatly as he turned away. "You're not to interfere in matters like this--at least not yet." She could when she was older, but this was still her father's job, supposedly.

Princess Ashieth
Ashieth gently hugged her father back as he brought her into an embrace, his worry for her showing on his face. As he spoke, Ash listened closely her face showing a bit of disappointment which vanished a few moments later. "Father please. Pray tell what he did. The people all seemed rather upset but some did not seem to think he had done anything wrong." Ash spoke. She knew she was young to worry about things like that according to just about everyone, but it was her kingdom, her home, she wanted to protect it. No matter what. "Please, let me help you."
"... He is a heretic. One who has committed a most dreadful blasphemy. Also, he was plotting to overthrow the Zora Kingdom. Such egregious betrayal cannot be tolerated!" Settling himself, Ash's father took up her second plea.
"You needn't worry yourself with something so putrid as this affair," he said flatly. "I am still King, and I will do what I must for the realm in my time. ... And if you sneak out like that again..." His voice trailed off. Clearly the King didn't want to think of such a thing with the riot outside his doors. "Don't worry me like that, Ashieth.

Ash still had questions about the zora that had seemed to have caused the riot, but her father didn't seem to want to press the conversation on much longer. And with him mentioning her sneaking out again, Ashieth was sure that there would be more guards watching her movements about the castle. Ash gave a small nod "Yes father. I'm sorry.." she spoke in a small voice before hugging her father.
With: guards and father Feeling:Guilty yet a bit determined
After the touching little moment they shared the King sent Ash away into the lower regions of the castle where she would be safest from incidents like the broken window. This was all he could do at the moment. Two more guards would escort the princess while the King took his leave to meet with his best men about what should be done. It was this way for a couple hours, and then word came from upstairs that things had begun to quiet down outside; but there was troubling news also that the Zora had escaped, or else was lost. It was at this point Ashieth was allowed to roam the castle freely on the condition that she didn't step foot outside and stayed away from the windows.

Princess Ashieth
After the conversation with her father, the guards led Ashieth down into the lower parts of the castle, apparently worried of another incident. After receiving a lecture from one of the guards about her actions, Ashieth spent quite a while working on her studies and reading. A couple hours later, a guard came to the group telling them that it would be fine for Ashieth to roam the castle so long as she stayed indoors and away from the windows.
Thankful to be able to wander around, Ash headed out not wanting another guard to lecture her about the dangers of exiting the castle. Despite what her father and the guards had said, Ash couldn't help but to think about the zora and the events that happened outside. If he really was a heretic, then why did it seem like some of the people wanted to defend him?
At the next turn Ashieth would come face to face with one of the nobles who had been encouraged to take refuge in the castle during the clamour from earlier. This boy carried himself like a prince, and for all intents and purposes felt that he was going to one day rule Hyrule under the sacred name of Hylia. The two had almost collided, which agitated the young man greatly.
"Look at this...!" He said folding his arms. "Far too long since I've been to the castle; still, I would've liked to have gone longer without running into the little queen-in-training." The boy's name was Enian, and he was a real b*****d.

Princess Ashieth
As Ash turned around a corner, she barely managed to stop before running into someone she'd honestly rather forget. Enian, a noble who acted as if he was the center of the universe. She always tried to get along with people, but with Enian... it was almost impossible. She hadn't been expecting to see him so suddenly, what was he doing here? Looking up at the boy, Ash gave a small smile "Enian, it's been a while. What brought you to the castle?" Ash asked. Half of her just wanted to keep moving, but there was a possibility that Enian knew more about what was going on outside the castle walls.
"You're kidding, right? All the important houses got moved indoors as soon as the riot started," said the young lord with a haughty huff. "You just didn't notice because you were too busy trying to get yourself killed." Now a sinister grin appeared on his face. "... Not that that would've been so bad. Everyone knows my house is closest when it comes to choosing successors." Enian was the oldest of two sons, and throughout his life the only thing he'd ever made clear through all his bully-esque activities was that he was going to step on whomever was in his way to step on to get to the throne. After a tense moment of this staring Enian started to chuckle mischievously.
