Sir Regulus stepped forward again, his expression measured as his eyes rested on Dylan. "Dylan Wellington, you were quite an interesting student to watch during this assessment."
Dylan lifted his brows faintly, as if not sure whether that was a compliment or warning.
"For me, at least," Regulus added.
Dylan gave a tired little grin. "I'll take it."
Regulus continued as if he had not heard him. "You displayed many qualities during this assessment that, under different circumstances, would place you firmly within the top five. Your environmental awareness is among the best in your year. Your survival instincts are sharp. Your ability to read terrain, create distance, and use surroundings to compensate for disadvantage was on full display throughout Nalim."
