As Ves held a frank and open discussion with General Axelar Streon about the Ouroboros, the distance between the two had shrunk.
This was the power of secrets.
Holding secrets could alienate people from each other.
Sharing secrets with other people could also bring them closer together.
The latter occurred this time. Though Ves still paid a huge amount of attention to what he was willing to divulge and what he wanted to keep for himself, it was undeniable that he extended a lot of trust towards a Terran that he technically only met for the first time today.
Any outsider would become gobsmacked if they saw Ves getting along with a top-ranking Terran leader shortly after they met each other. Even if the Terrans valued the benefits Ves could bring to the table, they wouldn't show so much deference for fear of weakening their bargaining position!
