In the ignorance of Triton and Eosca within Aesces, and under Hill's cold observation, they cautiously reached an agreement.
At first, Hill was a bit confused about why they chose to conspire on the planet rather than in the starry sky. After thinking for a while, he understood... First of all, the collaborator must have the capability to enter the world undetected by Aesces to be valuable in negotiations.
If they needed help, why would they look for someone to hold them back and share the spoils?
Moreover, if Eosca had found someone like Alexis inland, he wouldn't have chosen to discuss countermeasures with Triton... For the same reason, Triton couldn't extend his reach that far; why would he find an ally so early who couldn't help?
Although he couldn't understand these boring conspiracies at first, Hill felt he had improved a lot now... At least, he could figure things out on his own instead of depending on others' analyses.
