"As much as anyone on the island can claim to, yes," Ishiah replies with a nod, watching her closely. Arming an enemy with a blade is one thing, but offering too much information about a friend is quite enough. While Ishiah is pretty certain that Sarah isn't an enemy and doesn't mean Caliban any harm, he can't help but feel as though he needs to be careful regardless. Some people, he's found over the years, are particularly good about hiding their intent. And no matter how much he wants to relax on Tabula Rasa, the fact is that if anyone from their world arrives on the island, chances are that person will be out for Caliban's head.

(Ishiah can't even blame them for taking that stance. The Auphe are, indeed, a species everyone ought want extinct.)

"And I imagine a question is to follow that remark."
