Daria did not trust Ja'Keil one bit. If they hid the key again  he would take it.

"I agree that we should not return to the hold, Dral.  If we do we are sure to be caught up in the fights and may not survive.  If he decides to pit me against someone I will stay alive only as long as I can avoid being hit." She did not add what else she feared Lex might decide to do to her.

"...but I do not think we should let the key out of our possession again.  That is too risky.

There is another consideration, Dral. The food is running low. Once it is gone, there will be fighting and cannibalism. Even if we manage to stay out of it, we will starve ourselves. We might not last until rescue comes, from whatever source. I believe we must secure the artifact for ourselves. Then we can bargain from a position of power."
