The guard looks up at Dane as he and the very approach, and behind them, the Deku Shrub and fairy. Dane turned to look back saw the fairy with the Deku Shrub and looked forward again, motioning Bubby closer. "Next time," he says only loud enough for Bubby to hear, "I'm not making any jokes about potential sages. The goddesses seem to find it funny to make me eat my words." Once he was close enough to speak with the guard, he opens his mouth to speak only to find himself cut off by the oddly enthusiastic guard.

"Ah! Bubby's with you! The Princess said to inform anyone who came along with Bubby to return tomorrow at noon. Here is a letter of board from the royal family. Just show this at any inn or tavern and they will provide you with a place to stay on the royal family's coin until your business with the royal family is completed. The princess would also like to give you this purple rupee for spending money on your visit. Have a good day, and may the only darkness that follows you be your shadow." Taking both the letter and the rupee and reading over the letter, Dane sighs.

"Thanks for the info, friend. Guess I'll be back tomorrow." With that, he walks off, putting the letter in one pouch as the rupee with the others in his wallet. It brought his total up to one hundred fifty rupees, a nice sum in case he needed more supplies before he went...where ever he would need to go. The fact that the guard new about Bubby only seemed to confirm most of what he'd been told, though Dane still had a hard time buying the sage part. "Alright Bubby, we've got all day to kill. Anything new you'd like to do? You did seem a bit preoccupied just trying to find me and the other sages."
