While Chell helped Yen Sid with the first load of boxes, Foulques stayed behind to guard what remained on the beach, lest any of the other so-called teachers get any ideas. And standing there, alone aside from the sound of the waves, he had time to reflect on the events of the day. The young king and his queen, the others from the mainland, those who'd left with them... and those who had not.

Chell had stayed. In spite of all expectations, and despite his ent companion leaving on the boat, Chell had stayed. And Foulques couldn't fathom why. Fortunately, he need only wait for Chell to return for the rest of the supplies to get the answer to his question, so wait he did, leaning against the outer wall of the fishing shack and gazing out over the beach, expression pensive.
