So now we have a little background on Bennesaud. I like being able to spotlight different characters in different story arcs. I feel like Bocce and Bennesaud got the short end of the stick in the last arc, so they figure a bit more prominently this time around.
As a minor detail, in panel 1, Roka and Ril are surprised by the revelation about Bennesaud, but Cember isn’t. He and Bennes have been partners and close friends long enough that this is obviously something Cember already knew.

So the point would be they’re concerned, Bennesaud could
be in cohutes with another Dhama, and privately selling to him?
It’s more that Roka and Ril knew nothing about Bennesaud’s history and connection to another Dhama at all. They don’t necessarily think he’s actively working with another Dhama, but he’s definitely been withholding info.
LOL! I just noticed how pissed off Roka looks in the last panel.
Yeah, I intentionally wanted to squeeze Roka into that panel to show that he’s not pleased.
