Did Nephis distrust Caster for some reason?
Sunny surely did, and to be entirely honest, he didn't even need any reason to do so. His intuition and general paranoia were enough.
But Changing Star was different. He had learned a bitter lesson and now knew that everything she ever did had a firm logic behind it. Even if that logic was entirely different from that of a normal person.
So if Nephis was hiding her true battle style from Caster, there was a reason for it.
But it didn't make any sense. From everything else that she had done, he was her most trusted lieutenant. Changing Star entrusted more to Caster than she ever had to anyone else. Caster himself also had never acted against Neph's interests.
In fact, he was even a bit too loyal. The bastard was always near Nephis, as though glued to her side. He also didn't seem to like it when others got too close to her.
