"And for us to facilitate that." It's a good way to foil the Regent's plans. Throw a wrench in the works, so to speak. But Meteion does have a bit of curiosity, and she can sense Tristan's irritation. He might balk at the idea of leaving the city, if he considers it his home.

"Do you want to put one in the Regent's eye, so to speak? It is not as if I don't understand that urge, but it might be better to pass on that for the moment, and return when their gaze has passed...elsewhere."

Not that she is sure it will. Then again...

She glances at Barnaby and Liem. It might be that Tristan won't even trust them. Since most of them are Kenoma. What if he thinks they're trying to trap him?

Meteion won't give voice to it, but she doubts the Veneran is an idiot, by how he's acted already.
