Codi sighs, seeming to deflate a little. "Yes," she says after a moment. One hand waves Link away, the other goes up to give the bridge of her nose a gentle pinch of annoyance, but she tries not to take it too personally. Sometimes it's a good thing to be lightly humbled like this. "If you believe you're ready, go right ahead. I certainly won't stop you."

Somebody else, and Codi might have chafed or fought more to keep a tighter leash on them. This is Link, though. The boy can take care of himself. Worst case, he'll make an excellent distraction for the other teams coming in after.
