There is something so unusually open about Ramad's gesture that for a split second, Kai completely believes him.
He shuts his eyes as soon as he realizes it, a grimace on his face as he forces it back down, swallowing what feels like a huge lump in his throat. He can't. He can't trust Ramad, or believe him, regardless of what he says. Ramad telling the truth looks the same as Ramad lying. He has to remember that. He has to.
He takes in a deep breath, opening his eyes again to stare down the man in front of him. "Give me one reason I should let you." Allowing him to follow them is, in a way, still giving him some level of trust. Knowing their movements, and with Ramad's skill set, knowing some level of their plans. Kai and Ziede and Tahren can all communicate without words, but Ramad is smart enough to pick up Witch speak for communicating with Tenes and Sanja, assuming he hasn't already. It is opening them up to a risk.
