Link heard the approach, of course. He'd tensed, even so, starting just so slightly when the tabby comes into view. His slight puzzlement is obvious in his body language, though it doesn't occur to him to find the other's crashland funny. He tilts his head, barely hears what they're saying. Except that he does. It's somewhat startling, how quick the offer is.
Link does not attempt to answer, yet. Instead, he approaches the fallen feline, and attempts to, wordlessly and somewhat thoughtlessly, pick them up by their scruff and lift them up enough to steady them. If he manages it, he will step back a few more steps, though not quite enough for comfort. He hasn't quite grasped 'personal space' yet -- he hasn't interacted with people enough to notice.
He considers the option again. .. It almost feels like a betrayal to whatever his unknown duty may be to abandon it, even temporarily, in favor of this. But Link doesn't know how to go back, so he ... he supposes it doesn't really matter. A long moment of pause, and Link dips his head in a nod. He makes no move to introduce himself, merely nods in acceptance. It genuinely doesn't occur to him that people might want his name -- people had never cared. Some had already known it(they knew it before Link did, really.), or they just hadn't cared to know. Which, incidentally, is a path that wouldn't be followed here. His reach had only ever extended to the edges of Hyrule, after all, and even then, dubiously. A hundred years is a long time, though, especially for animals.
