(Abrogail thinks of herself as the person in Cheliax whose job it is to have vision; any vision at all, really.  She puts more weight than some people in her government that some critical part of dath ilan's power and progress is not teachable as Law but simply something in their blood.  Getting some of Keltham's children for Cheliax - and doing that before this operation blows up and he leaves, if that is something they prove unable to prevent - is a priority she is annoyed by others largely neglecting.  She planned to Detect his Thoughts on that subject so long as he was here.)
