As Elanev hadn't been able to deduce exactly whether there was anyone watching him on the Palace Grounds, Daneel and Faxul had decided to use this ruse so that there wouldn't be much suspicion when the two walked into the forest.
"So much confidence? I'm confident that you can't stand a single punch from me anyway, but I like the idea of fighting in the forest. Hey, maybe the foliage will even cushion your fall when you go flying! Let's go."
Speaking in the same prideful manner as Elanev, Daneel led the way.
For caution's sake, they had chosen to go to the forest adjoining the one which the strange man had gone into.
After entering the forest, the duo went deeper and deeper until Daneel checked with the Surveillance Tool that there was no one watching them.
