Maas has been around long enough to respect the need for and abilities of Saarebas. However, he has an inherent distrust of them, and since Isala is a Qun-blooded Saarebas without his Arvaraad, that's going to be a major sore topic with him. However, he's calm and level-headed enough (when he's not berserking) to not beat him to a pulp on sight. ...Is it wrong that I keep wishing Isala was a girl? I feel like that would be pretty excellent.
