[once again the Neophyte found herself wandering the Tower. exploring new floors, exploring old ones, catching a bite to eat in the cafeteria...she might even spend a little time in her own dorm room at some point. who knows what she'll get up to or who she'll run into.]

[Zelda glances up from her reading and, well, her slightly surprised expression shows that she definitely has not met a troll before.

But Hyrule is a rather diverse place, and the other woman doesn't seem antagonistic, so there's no reason not to be polite.]

Ah, yes?

Not to be rude, but I couldn't help but notice. You are Hylian, yes?

[A nod.]

I am. I take it you have met another here?

Yes. It doesn't seem that there are very many of your kind here in the Tower.

No, there are not - at least not to my knowledge. I have only encountered two others thus far.

[And they are technically the same person, so. 8|a]

I find it strange that the species with the most representation here is ostensibly the weakest. Hylians possess traits and abilities that humans do not, yes?

In a sense, I suppose. Legends state that the pointed ears of Hylians are so we may hear the messages of the gods, and we do have a more acute sense of hearing as well as greater penchant for magic than many of the other races in Hyrule.

But at the same time, I have not been here long enough to truly judge what sort of abilities the humans here might possess, so I can only speak of my own.

[There's a bit of a pause as she seems to mull something over. Hmm.]

...I do wonder what sort of criteria our captors use for the people they supposedly "save", however.

[so, redglare thinks to herself, they are superior to humans but inferior to trolls. interesting to know.]

It is difficult to determine. There are many of my kind here, but we are still outnumbered by humans. And non-human species of other kinds are even less in number.

Honestly, I can't find an obvious pattern to it.

Perhaps species is simply not a factor to them.

[And Zelda is just left wondering what kind of people this woman is a part of. Oh well.]

...What of the rest of the rest of your kind here? Do you think there could be a commonality between them beyond race?

[Might as well throw some ideas around. It's definitely more productive than what she was doing before.]

I couldn't say. There seems to be a fairly even representation of the hemospectrum, and nearly as many adults as there are children...

[it is always helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off of, though.]

There are two adults and one child among the Hylians, so age does not yet seem to be a consideration on our side, either.

And, my apologies, but... could you explain what you mean by 'hemospectrum'? I am unfamiliar with the term.

[Surely a bearer of wisdom and a servant of justice should be able to figure this place out! ...Eventually.]

It is the caste system by which our society is organized, qualified by the color of one's blood.

Do Hylians not have something similar?

I see. No, we do not, at least not in such a formal sense. There is royalty and nobility to rule and protect the realm, but commoners are generally free to pursue what they wish.

It seems a lenient system.

[but that's just an observation.]
