I just assumed Krait knew what was going on and was hitching a safe ride back
home with the others--they knew who he was and he knew who they were.  The
trip back and forth is clearly dangerous, and Krait knows there will be blood
aplenty for the lander crew when they get back, so he wants to ride along.

He wasn't planning on betraying the others beforehand, but when it came down to
it his loyalty to Horn did actually mean something (for reasons we can guess at
but that aren't clear yet--it seems the inhumi are both more and less human
than would have appeared from Long Sun).

Also, I see what you mean saying Mucor becomes less creepy throughout Long Sun.
I was just stating she's not much less creepy in On Blue's Waters than she was
at the end of Long Sun.
