Taura puts a hand against her ally's mouth because she can say anymore. Now that the short-lived battle had finished, the suspicious vampire had come to the same conclusion as the mink: their "rescuer" was none other than Xulu himself. From what Numen had told them, this person was not only one of the six islanders that they were tasked with killing, but he was a major player in the events that lead to Taura being tasked with cleaning up the monk's mess.

Numen had even gone as far as to describe Xulu as once being a sort of god. Yes, she could indeed sense great power dwelling within the man before them, however, as the monk had also described, much of it has left him as a result of his failure. Why would he of all people defend them from Moya, whom Numen had said to have been another islander?

From the way that Xulu had questioned their identity, he has no idea that she and Phantom had been tasked with his death. For now, Taura planned to keep it that way. If the two of them could manage to take out the head of the islanders right here and now, finishing the rest of the mission would be a breeze.

"We're just travelers looking for food," she bluffed, "we greatly appreciate your assistance. Though I have to ask, was it such a good idea to let the lizard go? Chances are that she'll come back to return the favor."

Taura glances at the yak, still struggling in the sorry state she had left him in. She almost felt pity for him, for between his mindlessness and his master deserting him, he had no chance of getting out of this situation alive. She'd make sure to put him out of commission before they moved on.
