** Snorri is shown to be an insightful person. Therefore, is he truly blind to Jalan's cowardly nature, since the latter often ends up becoming an AccidentalHero? Or did he eventually see through his companion? And if he did, why does he never address it? Is it because he wants to {{troll}} Jalan? Or did he see the good in him and is he a TricksterMentor who wants to help him become [[LoveableCoward a better person]]?
