Link. Link, you gotta know how surprising the Sentinel's gonna go. Nephenee's just minding her own business gardening, and you pop outta nowhere like that? Yeah, there's a yell and jump to the side when he speaks and tries to shove something her way.

It might say something about her being used to him and feeling safe around him that she didn't react his presence in the first place before that. Or maybe to how relaxed and in her element she'd been.
...Let's be honest, probably more the former - The girl doesn't have an off switch for her nerves.

In the quick moment, she's already dropped her trowel and brandished a knife she had handy...before realizing it's him. "Gosh darn it, Link..." She lets out a sighed whew as she lowers it. "What in tarnation are ya doin', shovin' somethin' at me like that?"

Despite her tone, Neph's not mad, by any stretch - her adrenaline's just surging now!
