[Yes, it's late at night/early in the morning. Link's up anyway.]

i have a question.

what does it mean to you to be a hero?

[Link's typing is getting better, and someone else is actually bothering to use this thing for once.]

you step up and do what you are able in the face of a challenge. a lot of people where i come from would add that you do it no matter the odds or chance of survival, however. while i admire their courage, i do feel that thinking like that is more than a bit foolhardy. such determination would be put to better use if they put in some thought before they charged in, and lived through it.

what if you think and you charge in

you can do both

sometimes

[Water Temple was definitely too much thinking.]

then you are a few steps ahead of quite a few fellows i have met.

i do agree on the sometimes, though. i have charged in blindly more than a few times myself, and thankfully survived it.

hee.

me too.

potions help with that.

potions, magic, a good layer of metal between yourself and whatever's causing trouble.

...divines above, i'm almost afraid to wonder just how many potions I've drank in my time adventuring.

yeah i

spent a lot on red piotions.

i assume those are for healing, given the topic at hand? if so, kind of interesting that they're red in another world...

yeah. red potions heal health. green restore your magic. blue restores both but it's really expensive. and i don't use magic a ton.

well, that's where the similarities end, then. our blue ones restore magic, and the green ones stamina. and...well, there's various other colored ones out there that do other things.

granny's the only one who makes them that i know of.

... she's not my granny by the way that's just what she calls herself.

i see. most anyone with the slightest know-how can make a potion where i come from - though it takes dedicated alchemists to make ones that are quite effective.

yeah it's not that common where i'm from. i mean people use them but not many people make them. she has a pretty good business going i guess.

it does seem to be a rather lucrative business venture from what i've seen. especially with how expensive some ingredients can be.
