Tesseract is definitely wrong, thinks Tayrey. She's seen them in L-space and this is absolutely not one. They're in agreement that far, at least, so she nods in understanding.

The rest of it? She is trying her best with the cultural difference, but her eyes do widen at the notion of Erin's people being in bed with government agents. (Partnership contracts between families to seal inter-Company deals are very much a thing where she's from, even if the bedding is usually optional.) Tayrey's view of Earther government agencies is also somewhere between "waste of money" and "scarily oppressive" but at least she knows enough by now to surmise that view isn't exactly what Erin is trying to indicate.

'They hunt monsters and ghosts, and you're imagining that if your message did get back to your Earth, they'd intercept it. Which means- ah!' Her eyes light up for a moment, pleased she made the connection. 'You'd also be worried about the Freehold doing the same. Lords Unbidden. Winter.'
