In which Theo examines a possible danger to the ship.

Somehow, it hadn’t occurred to me before this point that Theo didn’t know about Clarence’s past. But it makes sense for Daav not to tell her; it’s not the kind of thing a daughter of Delgado might be expected to take calmly. She handles it all right here, but that’s after she’s got to know Clarence as a person and gained some experience of what he brings to the ship.

Theo’s statement that she’s never going back to Eylot if she has any say in it strikes me as tempting fate, but that might just be because I’ve read this book already.
