There's a streak in her that wants to insist that they might not come as foes, but fellow survivors. As those who were seeking others who lived that nightmare, because it's different to explain it to those that weren't there. But she gave her word, and it is Tayrey's choice - something that matters more than Fever's own emotions on the matter. So, she nods, in acknowledgement and understanding.

"...We can put some faith in the ones that are here before us, at least. It says a lot about them that even after winter being a trial they unhesitatingly came to our aid."

Which, she's still musing on the problem of. More people means more mouths to feed means things that need to be structured, and other things that are suitable for people a lot smarter than her. But she knows how Tayrey thinks, so she adds on:

"Likely to them it's fair contract, since we agreed to help with their problem - provide us the basics to get settled and make sure we're not scrambling for food and shelter, so that we have the ability to do as promised."
