Emilia tries to maintain as much objectivity as possible when considering this next question. Her own world — and the world below it — were filled with secrets and betrayal. It's deepened her skeptical nature. Her sense of distrust.

But Taravast, too, has its own dangers. And it would benefit Marcos in no way to cushion the landing.

"I believe that a reasonable level of caution should always be maintained with everyone we meet. But so long as you are discreet when seeing each other and give them no reason to be suspicious, you should both be all right."

Of course, that's half the battle. At least, is for Emilia. Her instinct is to charge toward a problem. Playing her role is a constant negotiation with herself, often intolerable: she either smothers her own impulses, or she yields what ground she has been gaining. It is only her desperate need to return home and not bring devastation to the group that keeps her in line. ... Most of the time.
