There is a reason he is being asked, after all. As Link questions him, he begins to become aware of the prickling within his Shard and mind, the strange little 'tell' that he has become cognizant of as a mark that he has found a fellow Savant, one of the Aspected variations of Shard-bearer. The idea of Aspects is interesting to him. It is like being assigned a domain, in a way, and that domain is shared among others.
Savants, he has found, seem to appreciate knowledge. A good puzzle, a mystery to explore. ]
I am.
[ As Link works, he hovers - watchful and stern-browed, even as he extends his right hand and spreads his fingers to reveal the full extent of the black, gear-like mark of his Aspect. To have been branded in such a way - it is like he is suddenly becoming aware of the fact that he has not questioned things related to his form. The Shard and the mark are not natural parts of him, and yet. He overlooks them.
It means he cannot hide from Link. Nor, it seems, can Link hide from him. ]
I suppose, then, that I cannot lie and say I am an able hand at cooking at all. I have never needed to eat as I do now, and to be so hungry that I must do so around any one of you at all is the worst experience.
[ There is a coil of shame in him, hidden behind the bluster. ]
