Ara starts to assure Pill that he has, in fact, learned quite a bit in Sandpoint, and to answer her question, but is cut off by a sudden burst of input from the child. He has to admit, the boy seems very confident with his information... Ara looks from the child to Pill and back again, waiting to see how seriously the gnome takes the suggestions.<br/><br/>As the boy falls silent again, Ara gives him a supportive nod.<br/><br/>"That's a sign of a good dog, then, isn't it?" The young man's pride in his pet is evident, and Ara sees no wrong in letting the boy have his moment. The fact that goblins come close enough to the town that the boy is able to watch them is strange, though. "I have to ask you, though. Does Jaltan run off to chase goblins often? How often do Goblins come into town for him to chase?"<br/><br/>His second question is less directed at the boy than at Pill, but he is curious to hear responses from both. The boy could simply be a case of an active imagination at work, but if Pill can at least confirm the plausibility of his statements... Ara's curiosity is definitely piqued.
