"Lilia said Thomas is a historian and a linguist," Sin said as they dressed the next morning. "And you saw how obsessive he is about his books. He may be just who we need to figure out what in hell Raul's grimoire is all about."
"I don't know if I trust him," Rein muttered. "How do we know he's not Raul's spy?"
"We don't. But for that matter, we don't know for sure anyone here in camp isn't a spy. And Lilia said none of them, including Thomas, had been away from the settlement for a long time...except for the mysterious missing Caleb. In my gut, I don't think Thomas is the bad guy."
Rein dragged his hands through his hair, gathering it together against the nape of his neck, then tied it with a piece of leather. He sighed. "I don't think he's the spy either. But he grates my nerves."
