Ekra didn't respond right away - well, how could she? On the one hand, it sounded as though her prediction had been right. Had the target not been so infamous, she probably would've punctuated Lethe's speech with an 'I told you so' because, well, she did. On the other hand, they were expected to kill Ganondorf. Even if the beings who called the Lost Woods their home were fairly isolated, they knew of him. They knew he was responsible for the invasion of the Forest Temple that had happened so long ago that nobody living had actually experienced said invasion. They all only had the horror stories of the phantom on horseback and a Hylian who had broken into the temple.

And then Know-it-all began talking again like he was actually alive for that and she really, really doubted it. At least the blacksmith put him in his place, though she'd have to ask him later what a Darknut was. Those had definitely never wandered through the Lost Woods.

"Yeah, Mister, you believe your stories and go talk to him, we'll believe ours. I just know he wrecked the Forest Temple a long time ago." She looked to Lethe. Everyone was talking, yeah, but it was mostly among themselves. No one had actually asked the fairy the questions that crossed Ekra's mind. "But, uh, question: like...Ganondorf's dead, right? So, what is he a stalfo now, a ghost, just - I mean, no way he's literally alive, right?" She looked to Veitaru, her eyes closed. Ekra blinked and pulled out her flute, poking Veitaru in the shoulder. "Hey, Gerudos aren't immortal, right?" The child, about her own size, didn't seem to be Hylian. Maybe she knew. "Because there's a bit of a difference between going after someone with a regular body, a body that doesn't die, and a spirit." The first two were not uncommon in the Lost Woods, what with Kokori, Deku, and Hylian travelers. The stalfos and stalkids were a little more difficult to deal with. Spirits.... well, how would she have any idea? Those lost in the Lost Woods didn't become spirits. Those who died didn't leave ghosts. The only reason she even knew they existed was due to the one who had taught her the Song of Healing - and somehow she doubted a little tune on her flute would get rid of Ganondorf if he was only a ghost at this point. Not if he was strong enough to command ghosts of his own years ago.
