Okay, Link sort of has two separate opinions about Rabi. His professional opinion and his personal opinion o/. Normally they're not that easy to separate but you have this Bookman/Exorcist dealie going on.
I mean, Link himself has no super-strong opinions on the function of a Bookman, but he has some influences in mind when dealing with it. So like when he first arrived and was all, "I can't take your word for it," it was because... basically Rabi's not THE Bookman. He's still an apprentice, and not just an apprentice he's also using a name other than 'Bookman', and not just using a name other than 'Bookman' but he's also an Exorcist, and not just an Exorcist but a close friend of Allen's. While your word is most likely truthful and accurate, on paper it just looks like there'd neutrality/accuracy issues so verification is necessary. If it had been Bookman, who isn't doing all that espionage style infiltrating the ranks stuff (as much), it would have been fine. Bookman, by not going with an alias, is putting Bookman work first. While that leaves his allegiance to the Order questionable, it also means on paper it's harder to cast doubt on what he says because he's officially a neutral party. /o/ AND THAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND THAT.
Link's personal opinion of Rabi is that he's very annoying :|. What's with those rude nicknames? :|. Stop acting so familiar :/. Quit trying to poke your nose into everything :/ (shh, it's not hypocrisy if it's my primary job). Please be serious :|. Don't tie balloons to my hair :|. You are not a child, please act your age :/. ETC. HE DOESN'T THINK RABI'S A BAD PERSON, JUST REALLY REALLY ANNOYING.
