Summary
Kai is not to be trusted.
That's what he believes to be true, anyway.
And yet, earlier in their journey, the Aedyran envoy Stell declared that she did trust him. She trusted Kai enough to spend a mortifying — albeit enjoyable — night with him while she was suffering the agonizing effects of heat-inducing spores. In the wake of that encounter, however, Kai pushed away his 'selfish' feelings and insisted that the night would not change anything between him and the envoy he respects above all else.
But now, as they stand together beside the cairn of Kai's late friend, Tama, he can no longer hide his heart from Stell. Now, as the walls fall and truth comes to light, the two of them may finally begin to start again together — sailing on to warmer waters.
...that is, if Kai can find Stell when she gets stranded in a storm.
