Her words: Commander Vellas forged an alliance with an Atharim assassin assigned to kill the Ascendancy, and moreover, this assassin had power to maim with a single touch. How extremely ill-advised for the renown strategist in the Custody's employ. The disappointment was a reminder in trust.
He did not understand what made her two exemplary men so special as to be immune from her sentient powers. And why did Nox feel the need to build his tolerance against Aria? She said it was so he could so what was necessary when the time came, vague, but it implied Aria might impose her will upon him when he did not want it. If the pair trusted each other so much, why worry about the day she turned against him? If her best companions didn't trust her, why should Nikolai?
But he believed he gained some insight into her existence. if Sentients were to be killed on sight, and she was raised as a furia, it meant the Atharim was not aware of her true birth. Someone obscured the truth about her power from the Atharim authority and even from Aria herself. He wondered about their motivation to betray the order, but he did not care enough to inquire about it.
