Vaan's Pleasant Surprise

After Senior Willowthorn finished talking to Vaan, he turned his attention to Emerald.

He may have given his attention to Vaan first out of respect for his noble past, but Emerald's existence was what truly mattered to him and the rest of the Wood Spirits living in the Garden of Thyia.

He had more knowledge than the rest of the Wood Spirits in the Garden of Thyia. Thus, he could quickly tell what she was.

However, like the other Wood Spirits, he also had the same doubt, albeit briefly.

Heaven's Chosen Wood Spirits had a unique power and influence over other Wood Spirits. However, their innate control over other Wood Spirits wasn't meant to make them rulers of the Wood Spirit Race but revered like its creators.

They weren't born to lead but deserved all the respect as one and more. They were sacred beings among the Wood Spirits.
