[ A touching and somewhat unexpected thing to hear from the young boy, but Sheik can only put so much confidence in its truthfulness. It's obvious that being in this prison has taken a toll on his health, and he suspects that his mind might be strained and not all there either. He can't give him any proper response to a statement like that, for both that reason and the fact that they had to hurry now. Instead, he kneels slightly to heft Noa onto his back. ]
A promise costs nothing; performance is expensive. [ the flower is so light that escaping with him on his back like this shouldn't be too hard. ] Grab around my neck, but not too tightly. I shall carry your legs like so -- [and he hooks his arms under the bend of Noa's knees.] Remember: not a sigh, nor a sneeze, nor a whisper. When we have made it, I will tell you.
[ With that, Sheik starts to move. The hallway of the jail is short, and within a few seconds he's already at the doorway where the jailor is still sitting, asleep and snoring. The Sheikah's padded footsteps are silent as he slips out the door and into the night air, but this is the more dangerous part. It's not like the jail is at the edge of the village. It's going to take some time and luck to successfully get to the woods without being spotted. With his arms occupied, Sheik can't climb up any buildings or defend himself, so he sticks to the shadows and narrow alleys. ]
We're beneath the moon now, Noa. [ It's been a few minutes since he cautioned him to be quiet, but with no one in sight, it's probably safe to check on him before they continue. ]
