[ Zelda lightly laughs off Sheik's compliment, partially out of self-consciousness and partially because she knows there are those in Hyrule who would disagree with him. It's easy to think kindly of an anonymous young woman you've only just met who shows poise and grace at a party. It's harder to think such of a princess who should be perfect, and Zelda is hardly perfect. ]

You need not worry overmuch. Formal events like these are few and far between and, even though this is a castle, there is no court to impress.

[ Zelda carefully lifts her mask up and over her head. Finally free! Why in the world did the fairy godmother see fit to give Zelda a full-length mask? A half-mask would have been perfectly sufficient (and breathable).

Now that she has her full range of vision, she can get a better look at her partner. His red eyes are quite striking! Even in so diverse a place as Songerein, Zelda doesn't see a lot of people with red eyes. She still tends to think of the Sheikah whenever she happens to see someone with red eyes. But her partner doesn't appear to share any of the other common characteristics of members of the Sheikah clan, so Zelda puts the comparison out of mind. ]
