[When Link's eyes cut to Sheik, he will be met with his scarlet gaze glancing back at him, a brow raised in thinly-veiled skepticism. No, he's not lying, exactly, but the truths he is choosing to omit are obvious enough to be noteworthy. He called her "Zelda," and it's not like Sheik isn't aware of the bond they share here in Songerein, if not in their own time in Hyrule. So why, then, is he falling back on duty when his, theoretically, has been fulfilled? What comfort could such a thing offer, when it has been so cruel to him in the past?

[... Perhaps being bad at naming things runs in Sheik's family.
Tem, meanwhile, is mildly less concerned with the fraught emotions flying around here. A kneeling person is a friendly person as far as it knows, so it trots up to Link without hesitation once he's closer to the ground. The curious sniffing continues... to the point that it presses its snout fully against his leg and huffs, resulting in some very silly noises. The Guest has goodies inside him but they won't come out! Tem has never experienced frustration like this before. :<]
