Link checked his inventory just to double-check that he had the Silent Nightshades stored properly- he didn't need to, but even with the Sword reorganizing his thoughts, it was still a messy subject to deal with -then clipped the Slate on his hip. "I'll catch up. I told Zelda to be expecting you."
He knew the Sword was going to have a lot easier time at keeping up with his thoughts if he kept conversation that would stir them up to a minimum, so he didn't bother with anything else, stepping back outside and making his way down the road.
