About Roald's chat with Daryl: is there something Daryl will say about his problem with Theo? If not, I will narrate getting back to the group and continue in the village.
He would rather talk about his fears than address the topic of the awkwardness with his friend [
ref]. :)
He heard your suggestion that he
talk to Theo, but that sounds very naive to him.
How can that fix things? It's Theo's fault, anyway! He should talk to me! I didn't do anything!
Roald could guess that such typical, juvenile, thought-processes are going on.
