Gon seems like a good guy with a good head on his shoulders. The spirit stuff surprised him so he's kind of wondering if he's some sort of Necromancer, but he's obviously experienced with the carnival ans has the astuteness to look at something more critically through a lense that's not as obvious (vs just assuming they're brainwashed).

Syr also assumes he's an adult and will treat him like one because he's bad at ages as is, Sylvari don't have children don't expect him to guess this right.
