He adds a note to do that. Bright says he's fine with Midnight reading his mind during trade negotiations. A few days are spent scouring Bar for the best-for-humans genetically modified crops anywhere.

...Ambela has a leading conversation with Miranda.

Miranda goes and asks why it's okay if his alts read his mind.

" - hmm? Oh, we're doing it because Cam's worried greenmages can tamper with people and I don't want to be tampered with."

"I know why it's useful, just not why it's okay."

"I guess we have less of a thing about mental privacy than you? The reason I wouldn't want people reading my mind is because then I would be in the habit of not having thoughts that I didn't want them to hear and that'd make me a terrible thinker, and I couldn't keep anyone's confidences and I couldn't be calculating..."

"But nobody's confidences exclude Midnight?"

"I'm a fork from 1370. Anything I know is something that was for instances of me in general."

"Okay."

So Ambela doesn't get in the way.
