The conundrum had afflicted them since Remi had first reported on the woman, but they still had no easy answers. Whatever Dahlia was, and whatever her intentions, she could pass among the people of Caido without notice. Whether an afflicted Natural or something wholly alien, they simply did not know.
Still, it could not be changed, so for the moment Hadama focused on what they could do. Or rather, what Remi could do. Though that glance over his shoulder was noted, and Hadama tilted his head to the side as he considered the demigod. "Hmm. If Ronin agrees," he said slowly, "in case a rescue is needed. Then, yes, information about the island, and if there are people other than this Dahlia there. What they look like. And I wonder... if there are caves inside it?" Like Rae's Fingers, perhaps? Or the Climb's Burrows? "What do you suggest?" A former leader in his own right and a man with much experience of Caido's strangeness, Remi hopefully had his own ideas of what he wanted to go back to Starfall for.
"I do not know if this will help. But here," he offered, reaching into one of his pouches and drawing out a small monocle in a golden frame. "A gift from the kraken." In a manner of speaking. "It can see through illusions." From what he knew of the Lullaby he trusted Remi to return it safely and prioritize survival over heroics. Something Hadama approved of in his Torchers. He would rather live subjects than dead heroes.
They already had too many of those.
