Sylvia made note of John's appearance but took care to not react. She grew concerned when the children became apprehensive as they approached. She let Pylia answer John's question, however, it only seemed to make the children scared and John confused. Before Sylvia was able to think of something to say or do to calm them down, Buddy stepped up. She was quite surprised to see that he could dance, and Shortfang was definitely playing an instrument to help him out. They were good! To Sylvia's relief, the children, Pylia, and John seemed less stressed. Sylvia smiled as she saw Pylia pull up her short hair into pigtails, which seemed to be successful in jogging John's memory. 

She listened to Pylia as she talked a bit about John. She nodded in response and answered, "Yeah. He definitely seems happy. The stonemason also seemed to really care about him too," She then looked to John and she greeted him with a kind smile, "Hi John. I'm Sylvia. It's nice to meet you," She then nodded to Buddy and she introduced him, "And he's Buddy! We're friends of Pylia as well," 

She figured introducing herself and Buddy to John would help ease tensions.
