Lio allows Link to grow accustomed to the flame, though he can also sense the hero’s nerves, encountering an unfamiliar power. He takes the time to ponder the question- perhaps it is similar, though he isn’t entirely sure of his own origins. Sheikah technology is far more developed, but the Guidance Stones, like Lio’s Dinpyre Cycle, are powered by an unquenchable flame. Perhaps the two energy sources have more in common than Lio initially imagined.
“Hmm… I suppose so,” Lio finally answers, though now stuck with more questions about the Sheikah. “The Dinpyre flames are but a fraction of the goddess’s power. Only malice can extinguish this flame.” It’s something Lio’s proud of, having survived this long, though he doesn’t often display it, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself so he can continue to avoid capture.
“But, with the Sheikah technology, the energy just… seems to change form, doesn’t it? When it gets corrupted…” Like a Guardian, Lio wants to finish, but he’s not about to jinx this relatively safe encounter.
“Change... form?” he repeated. Unfortunately the description would be lost on him, though he was capable of following the unfinished thought with the only thing he’d known to be corrupted. “So... like Guardians?”
His hand retracted. Some subconscious association had already slipped through his mind. With very few memories to recall, one always stuck out: that day. A small subtle frown worked its way out as the same hand reached for the device at his hip. It, too, ran on the same sort of energy as their technology supposedly.
The screen flickered on projecting an image of what was before it. Though, unfortunately, the compendium that helped explain the world around him had nothing to offer on the flame. He turned it to Lio, with the same result. Just a regular traveler like himself though it seemed to settle his nerves again bringing about a faint smile.
“I don’t, uh, sense energy like you do, I guess,” he shrugged. How useful that would be, though. A talent he wished to possess. “I can’t even tell the difference between a regular flame, or blue flame, or that flame besides looking at them. There’s something else to it I can’t see, right?”
