Yeah, this was obviously the next step. Ark is a leader type, and the society worships expert pilots. And he’s more of a Larkinson elder than Ves. Of course he would jump to the larger clan and then claim a chunk. Ves should have isolated him first, but he was too trusting and too interested in the win of maybe getting an Ace pilot for cheap. They even talked about the risk of trusting family a few chapters back. The problem is Ark is now grabbing things he didn’t work for, Ves did.
