Sure, in a situation like this, fear is going to be natural. They also could not count themselves completely free by any means while  Principality troops patrolled each and every room. Tahlia in particular should be warned that the cockpit was the most heavily guarded spot on the ship, that and the exit. As for Benji, he remained calm, anchored to a belief that these soldiers were moreover a means of protection, rather than restriction. But he had his reason for thinking so, Benji knew much more than the rest of the crew. As for the ship's armory, he will remain silent on the matter, he cannot risks anyone becoming restless enough in armed hostility. That will ruin the precious progress made with Principality. Though, he orchestrated no plans to deceive nor mislead them. In fact, he deems it his very goal to spill the theory that bends humanity, a suspicion centered on his own race. 

[color=#4dff4d]"Y-Yaz, we're here now, all [i]six[/i] of us,"[/color] Benji lightly put his hand on her shoulder in hopes to console her. But in hearing his own words, Benji knew that it was not the most reassuring thing to here, especially when noting Rend in the corner. As for what Echo has said, she was partly right, something did change their minds, but Benji held part in that. 

[color=#4dff4d]"Well, you want to know why we were arrested in the first place?"[/color] Benji leaned against a close wall with arms folded. As far as Benji was aware, Pseudo failed to gain permission from the Principality to inform the others about the sudden imprisonment. The whole order of monarchs was far too occupied in mass hysteria after Echo's brave stance on the rebel queen's throne. 

[color=#4dff4d]"They needed someone to blame, that's why. Yep, we're the scapegoat. So, you know that throne Echo sat on, that once belong to the Velbenan queen, before she defy the Divine Regency, a power greater than the Principality. How did she specifically defy them? She launched six humans into alien territory. Cryonautics, all the Velbenan queen's doing. She hired some outer rim shape-shifting scum to act as head of Project Renascence. At first, I thought that is what infuriated the Principality- settling another race without permission gained from the Divine Regency. Then it dawned on me, that we might actually--"[/color]

"Cetehz henn ywrez Vruewrurd, otihr kagnossi gniessokue drip henn ecoshea. Cleamsulheo ophae bu Questevian uent stirrip kliemellua vafl." Benji approached the Britheian that had just spoken to him in Discovering Tongue. While so, he rubbed the top lid of his black eye, reminding himself of his last encounter with those creatures. But no matter, Benji still appeared quite excitable by the news, he smiled and spoke back with enthusiastic tone, [color=#4dff4d]"Blealm vafl Vruewrurd, ualson zienna! Fleatuspy chilyrd henn otihr grapohx."[/color] 

[color=#4dff4d]"Good news,"[/color] Benji reverted back to English. [color=#4dff4d]"We're getting a fresh new change of clothes. I figured to make a request to Princaplity, that we see Katex in a new light. Katex is in the planet we're on, if you didn't know. Early tomorrow, we head to a Qustevian tailor. Well, all of us [i]except[/i] Rend. Don't see why he would have to go, since he's already dressed with a new attire. He can stay on ship. Not only will the Pseudo-Human be here to make sure he doesn't try anything, the whole ship will be surrounded by Principality troops."[/color] Yes, Benji even spoke about the man as if he was not even in the room, because Benji really wished he wasn't. If there was any way Benji could keep the rest of the crew away from Rend, then that's what Benji will aim for. [/indent]
