Mold's "I work alone" doesn't last long once the commissioner sets a real condition on the job:
"And there is one other condition," added the commissioner.
"Which is?"
"Willow will accompany you."
"I work alone, just me and Kibble."
"Then how will you recognise our people?"
"You are genetically distinct from any people I've ever seen — the red hair, the sallow skin, your eyes. You all have these traits."
"True, but this is the condition," said the commissioner with finality.
"And if I can't help," added Willow, "then at least I can watch your back. I know the Wisewood and the netherlands better than anyone."
