Once Gunthar- and for security's sake, any villagers whom she didn't know (which was all of them) are out of earshot, she says with false cheer, "Ask me, he's not likely to be fully on the up and up- too much profit to be made by betrayal to trust, and not much to gain from us coming back, no? I'm not pleased about going into the jungles without a guide, though. The question is which fear outweighs the other- everything we don't know about the jungle, or one man? However potent he may be, I say we hire the man but do not under any circumstances trust him."
