[ The flash of a tiny pink tongue and the sensation of it against his skin finally breaks Link's mask of calm neutrality.

.....So wonderful. This is something he's missed, he realizes. Being alone, but not really alone. Being alone with the natural wilds.

Not unlike the Ruins that populated the Hyrule he came from.
He doesn't have much jerky left. Using his other hand, he awkwardly reaches around to his opposite hip where his pack sits and takes out the last of the meat. But instead of giving it directly to the beast, he holds it in his opposite hand, offering. In order to reach it, the beast will have to climb into his lap. ]
