Sheik wonders as the girl hesitates, watching her tense once more. He supposes it should be expected; either he's going to catch her out in her lie, or he's insulted her by doubting her claims. But even so, there's something... strange about what seems to trigger her nerves. She spoke of Ganondorf and her "Calamity" with the gravity they demanded, but now she's freezing again, like a deer in the sight of a hunter's arrow.
Why? If she isn't lying, what is she afraid of?
(If she isn't lying, what does that mean...?)
In any case, she assents, and Sheik allows her answer to hang in silence between them for a moment more, as if to give her one more chance to back down. But she doesn't. She wouldn't, after all this.
If this is a trick, at least Ganondorf got that much right.
Sheik takes a breath, lifting his fingers to his lips. And then he whistles the first few notes of a song he hasn't shared with anyone in years. Echoing through the night and the gardens below (echoing through time itself), he and the melody both wait to hear her complete it.]
