Sylvia listened as Ferric explained Gransys and the giant sword. So the giant sword was slowly crumbling? That sounded like a potential disaster waiting to happen in the future...But she didn't say that. The thought didn't last long, since she was still taking in the sights around her. She could only answer Ferric with an awed "Wow...!" 

While they were approaching the city proper, she noticed the smell of food and people building booths. When Andras mentioned that they were preparing for a festival, Sylvia immediately lit up. She [i]definitely[/i] wanted to go to the festival when it would be ready! Festivals sound like fun! And it wouldn't hurt to take a small break to enjoy the festival, would it? However, when Andras mentioned that it was strange, she looked confused and she asked him curiously, "Hm? How is it strange? Aren't there any holidays coming up?"

As they approached the gates, she noticed that Shortfang immediately hid himself. She was confused and she thought that it might be better if Shortfang hadn't hidden himself, but now that was done and the guard was talking to them, there was no point in revealing him now. She'd rather not get Shortfang into trouble. 

She cheerfully answered the guard with a smile, "Hi! Sylvia Thorne. New Adventurer. Guarding this small caravan of merchants so they can get here for trade and business,"
