[ The name "Sheik" immediately strikes Zelda, like a little jolt from static electricity. For a moment, she actually expects him to add the "-ah" to the end the word—her eyebrows rising and her breath hitching with anticipation.

When he doesn't, Zelda quickly tries to couch her expression. Of course not. Sheikah don't introduce themselves like that, and no Sheikah would have such an on-the-nose name. The princess is just looking for connections where there are none. (Although a red-eyed stranger whose name is almost "Sheikah" is one hell of a coincidence.)

Zelda—again, coincidentally?—mimics his action, placing a hand over her heart and bending forward in a polite bow. ]

The pleasure is mine, Sheik. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. Truth be told, you've saved me from being spotted unattended at this affair, so I am most grateful for your company.
