"I apologize for Kaszear's words. His line of work keeps him...wary of strangers", Iremea explained "But I assure you his intentions are well placed. As for these machines you mentioned, Kaszear may have the skills necessary to deal with them". Iremea was certain that despite her husband's skills the two of them alone would be no match for these machines. It would be better to stay with a group. At least until a way out of this place was discovered. "To answer your question The Bond is what I wished to perform with you. The best way I can describe it is that it will allow me to enter your mind and as long as the bond is not broken we share whatever abilities, knowledge, memories, and feelings we each permit the other to see. I would hope to use this so I could communicate with the other Aeta"

As Iremea and Akila spoke, Kaszear took a step back to examine the other Aeta. The one called Runo who had been making a move for the door had disappeared somewhere despite Kaszear not seeing him exit the room. The fur tailed Aeta was standing guard over the metal one. There seemed to be no unity with this group which he felt would create problems later. The one he considered "The Pureblood Aeta" was watching nervously as Iremea and Akila spoke. "Fun zey pureblood, fahvos los hi het? Daar Aeta fon hilkiin nuz hi. .. hi los unlike niin. Zok grozah ni do daar staad, ful fos drun hi het?(Tell me pureblood, why are you here? These Aeta seem hybrids but you...you are unlike them. Most likely not of this place, so what brought you here?)", despite him knowing she could not understand him Kaszear spoke to see her reaction. He made an effort to make his tone as interrogating as possible hoping to gauge her character. Was she a warrior? A noble? A scholar? Perhaps a magister? Her reaction would tell him.
