[Oh, it's definitely "with" said companion— Sheik is not about to be left behind again, and he'll nag as much as he has to for it to remain that way.]

Just— remember to watch your step, please.

[The lantern's flame gradually strengthens as they move forward, brightening with Link's enthusiasm (and Sheik's quietly fond observation of it). Oddly, the glow at the end of the tunnel also seems to grow as they get closer to it, perhaps reacting off of that same energy.

Then... the tunnel opens up. Kaleidoscopic crystals cover the walls of a large cavern, bathing the hollow in a rainbow of shimmering colors and utterly dwarfing the feeble flickering of their lantern. The striking sight leaves even the hyper-vigilant Sheik speechless with its fantastical beauty, and in the moment he takes it in, he wears his awe openly, a rare sight in and of itself.

THUMP.

A gust kicks up again, the source of it obvious from following the heavy sound that precedes it: there, on the far side of the cavern, a massive turtle that towers over them twice over, turning to face the ones that have intruded upon its personal all-you-can-eat buffet. It slowly grinds glittering shards between its teeth, and the crystals that grow from its thick shell glint in turn with its heightened wariness. Sheik's hand immediately finds the hilt of his dagger, for all that it feels like little more than a toothpick in comparison to the creature they've stumbled upon.]

That... may be one of the reasons behind the city's crystal shortage.

[But what in Nayru's name are they supposed to do about it...?!]
