"The boys have a genuine friendship." Stated Sylph bluntly. "We followed them and ensured they were not harmed by any of the threats that lurked in the forest, from bears to bandits to a broken bridge. We even occupied a wild troll. We sensed no plots, nor discovered any traps. Every encounter we made seemed random and unplanned, with an equal likelihood of harming either or both boys as opposed to only Nuitan.. While somewhat reckless, the Hinckwell child did not have any ulterior motives I could perceive. They seem to honestly enjoy each others company. That said, Nuitan has a test for which he should study if he wants to maintain his bon rapports with his professor, and had we not been there, he may have gotten hurt."
