“That is why I brought you here,” says Pal. “I could do with someone ancient and political in my corner. Someone else.”
Because he thinks that Pyrrha Dve might be in his corner, too. Pal isn’t sure he trusts her yet, and he knows Cam trusts her even less, but they all want to protect the girl in the infirmary with the baffling soul, and that’s enough to hold them together for now.
And speaking of— “Like I said, it’s political. I don’t entirely understand it, but I do think she can help us.” A beat. “And Camilla’s tenure here has not been entirely smooth. There’s things she has done to protect me that have not endeared her to our hosts.”
He doesn’t say Camilla was tortured. He doesn’t say, she carried fragments of my skull in a canvas bag and nearly killed the people who tried to take them away. He doesn’t say that Camilla Hect will always be a sort of race traitor to Blood of Eden, and that is almost worse than anything else.
