Barnaby is right, Tristan is hard-pressed to trust agents of the enemy fully even if they have shown some promise.

"When she's free, I want you to tell her to write a letter. Bring it to me, I'll know if it's really from her. Once I have proof that she's safe..."

Tristan steps forward, his voice low and to Cid only.

"You can help build the resistance here in Venera."
