Nevan DarLeras had a powerful and trained Talent, something "Vance DarLowrie" had shown no traces of so he was not using either that or Ranger Losinj's position to simplify his mission. An exercise of some sort, then security, in all probability. If true, it could be proven easily, Owajima thought, and he would have the pleasure of meeting his predecessor.
"Nevan-Corina DarLeras and I have been battle-companions for the last century, since we fought together defending the Palace in the last battle of the White Order revolt. I know intellectually that this isn't the same person, but dammit, it's going to feel like I'm trying to hurt a friend."
To her surprise he grinned at her, raising his hands. "I'd call that conclusive advantage, Sir Corina," he said. "With abilities and reflexes like that, you should've been born Sandeman I'm Lieutenant Nevan DarLeras. Welcome aboard." Corina replaced the soul-blade at her belt and stepped back, returning his courtesy with a bow.
That was conclusive enough for Owajima; if, contrary to all other evidence, DarLeras had gone renegade, he would have removed the tattoo rather than simply covering it. When Nevan woke, he was spread-eagled, tied to his bunk with a grim-faced Oriental man holding a gun on him.
He bowed his head, acknowledging her authority but there was one thing he still had to find out. "You have taught the use of Talent, Ranger Losinj, which should have increased your own ability. May I test, to find if it has had the effect I believed it would?" Corina inclined her head. "You may, Master but my new position demands I take precautions. Lieutenant DarLeras." "Yes, sir?"
*I understand that, but how?* *If you can remember the way you felt, your mind pattern when we worked this morning * She caught a sudden picture of herself holding the sheathed blade at DarLeras' throat, then nothing. "Very good, you have it. Now down again." Seconds passed, then, *How's that?* *Excellent,* she complimented him. *You learn quickly.
