definitely would bond over shared knowledge and interest in hylian theology and kakariko practices

i would see you as kids growing up together and developing a mutual respect for each other

you would have explored all the nearest mystical places around kakariko as you two grew up

and as you got older and impa started working for zelda, you would travel with her and explore even more of hyrule

she'd definitely want to learn a lot about the sciences and things you're interested in

you'd probably be good friends with her sister, which would both drive her insane lol but also make her like you more

you and impa are definitely on the same page when it comes to being crap with social cues and being confused lmao

you two are partners in overthinking most things

which can be great bc then you can relate to one another, but it can also kind of suck because you'll fuel each other's fire ahhh

impa's a fan of more quiet and contained situations, so i think you would both favor those and spend a lot of time together on your own

she does have a cautionary worldview and would innately want to sit out most adventures, but she'd totally tag along without an issue if you wanted to go somewhere

you guys are probably the most loyal pair out there and literally everyone loves you two together

and she's so supportive! with the amount of time you spend together, there would definitely be a balance of you also spending time apart
