"While we have not performed this custom in a very, very long time... I believe that you are more than worthy of it. Come take your reward, hero."

Saki wants to “thank” you for saving her village with an old Rito tradition. Her husband Teba was surprised by her eagerness to follow it, but he ultimately accepted her desires to follow this ancient custom. She’s just doing this for the tradition, of course. Definitely.

This character and encounter are heavily inspired by the story "In Victory's Wings" by Scrib_eyeSteak on Ao3. Definitely check that out if you haven't!
