[By the time she notices the soldiers, it's far too late to run. There's no cover, and her magical energy (aside from the Triforce, which she is absolutely not willing to call on in a strange situation) is depleted. She can't outrun them on strange terrain, a point that was only struck home once she saw their strange vehicle.
No, running would only make her look guilty.
Zelda raised her head, looking somehow regal despite being soaked to the bone and utterly outnumbered. Her eyes flit from soldier to soldier, finally settling on Jade and widening slightly. A human? She hadn't seen one since she was a child, when the court was still taking visitors from outside the country... and she'd never seen one with such obvious magical power. Equally surprising was the fact that she understood him even though she could tell he was speaking a language she'd never heard.
The only outward sign of her distress was her ears flattening down and back like a frightened animal. Her voice was calm as she answered carefully, speaking in the same strange language as Jade.]
This is hardly an enticing invitation, but I suppose I'm not in a position to refuse.
