After Link sent out his orders for the year all he could do was sit, wait and pray for the success of the past year to repeat this year. His people truly needed the boost to prosperity, especially with how scant all resources other than food were getting. He hoped the goddesses would continue to answer his prayers and ensure the success and survival of his Kingdom.

They quickly hit it off and discussed many of the needs and problems the Hylian people had, though they stated Link was meeting most of them with all the new homes in the capital. However most of they way through the conversation they were interrupted by the Hylian nobles who demanded to know why Link was visiting commoners instead of them!
Everything started going wrong as Link expressed shock and said he thought the nobles all went with the princess when they seperated and Ashei was getting in their faces while Auru tried to mediate. Luckily as the nobles were getting angrier they were interrupted by another of Links old friends and a noble herself their leaders daughter Agitha who interrupted them by running forward and hugging Link calling him grasshopper and greeting him in her own Unique way. Her Father the Duke of South Hyrule fields sputtered in shock for a moment thinking Link had done something weird before Agitha started telling Link about how well all the bugs he collected for her were doing and that she was able to save them.

They decided to come with him to the Refugee camp and join the fledgling kingdom boosting its population with their numbers.
