Sylvia read Buddy's note, and she nodded in agreement while adding, "It's quite a coincidence, isn't it. I'm hoping this is just a case of the name being a popular name for girls, like 'Andrews' is for boys. Still...let's keep our eyes peeled and our guard up. Just in case,"

Sylvia was surprised to see the men who had...fancier armor and were definitely bigger than any of the other guards she had met. She answered the men politely, "Hello, Sir. We saw the accident happen, but I'm afraid we don't have very much information. The cart went careening past us, and crashed here," 

She then nodded to the items they helped gather together, and she continued to explain, "We stopped to help the owner of the cart gather her things. They were in the cart. She said they were her research and she seemed very distressed over the accident. After we helped her, she left to go get a wagon so she can carry all of her stuff. We're waiting for her to come back, Sir,"

She might not know who these knights are, but they seemed important. Plus, so far there didn't seem to be a reason to hide anything from these guys. So she decided being honest was the best policy here.
