[Dualscar's expression stiffens a bit. There's only one explanation, since he knows he personally didn't tell the Helmsman to keep any information from Darkleer.
He lifts his glass and takes a sip, considering what to say. Obviously Darkleer knows about the Condesce, but maybe he either isn't supposed to know, or doesn't know of Dualscar knows. Dualscar isn't supposed to tell anyone, and if he does confirm something, the Condesce could blame him.
It'd be better if she blames the Helmsman, of course. But how can he arrange that?]
I couldn't begin to tell you wwhat the problem is. I know I havven't givven it any commands that might cause that. Maybe its programmin is faulty, like I'vve suspected from the beginning. Consider wwho it livves with.
