It was interesting how they kept it a secret between them. Vila refers to the whole incident as being one he wouldn't forget and Avon calmly retorts that you know you are safe with me, the others are unaware of exactly what went on.
I do wodner about that. Whether any of the others may have suspected what happened.
Vila was Avon's obvious travelling companion to keep an eye on things. Vila wouldn't question Avon, one of the girls or Tarrant would tend to do so - especially Tarrant. Egrorian felt comfortable with Avon in the end, because he posed no threat.
Good reasons. I do think it's interesting the way Avon complains about Vila so much but often end up choosing him over the others when he needs someone to go with him.
