"Rah gets progressively more frightened as they go on and keeps begging for Zyn to turn around and leave with him. Zyn tells Rah "don't spoil the fun like you always do", which is funny because I never got the impression that Rah did that."

What's funny to me is that she expects kids to side with Rah. My siblings would so be calling Rah a wimp. They like characters who are tough, adventurous and strong. Rah doesn't sound like any of that. Add to that the fact he seems like a teacher's pet type and a suck up and they would so roll their eyes at him.
