No disagreement from Darras, either, and he nods his agreement to the plan. He can take orders when he needs to, and this is a moment of need if there was one.

When they're out on the quarterdeck, he watches Yseult as she picks her path off toward the stern, keeps his eyes on her until she's out of sight. Then he turns his attention back to Flint, to wait for next orders.

Derrica's message is easily corroborated from their position as well, as the other ship closes the gap, near enough to make out small details and getting nearer all the while. "Good for us if it's true," Darras says, mostly to Flint. If he can see the lack of arms on their ship, they'll surely see him get out his sending crystal to make a reply. And what innocent little ship from Val Chevin would stock its crew with crystals? "Easy enough to play the lamb and leave the teeth to come out later."

And that ship is still getting closer. Darras scratches at his cheek, thoughtful. "I'm ready to lie," he offers, cheerfully.
