panel 217:

Garrin Concedes the point 'I suppose the issue isn't blending in, but acting appropriately'

Reefa rolls her eyes 'obviously, but how would I even begin to do that?'

Garrin marks his words carefully 'To be honest, it's difficult to say' social scenarios are delicate and are best played by ear most of the time.'

'how revolting. you sound like one of my fathers sycophants.' Reefa sneers 'they speak a great deal but commit to nothing.'

Garrin has always loved the fiery passion the princess speaks with, he wonders if she might prefer passionate words in turn but dismisses the idea. his heart is too cold.
'why don't we take a more free-form approach? I'll stay close-by, and will only step in if you give me a signal or if I think an interaction is getting dire.'

'At this rate I think you'd do more harm than good, at least if I say something stupid they'll be my own words that I believe in.' Reefa sighs deeply 'I wish Tawny was here...'

This isn't surprising to Garrin, Sister Tawny Lanix is first among the princess' attendants, and the closest thing to a best friend she's ever had.
The Princess, behavior is definitely more touchy than usual, Garrin suspects she may be worried about the lost harbinger sister.

Garrin himself however is more worried about the short masked figure who appears to be tailing them
