If Varis is working to a time frame he might see it as necessary at this point to seek the aid of natural echo users as he might not feel that Resonant are stable enough to be relied on. After all Regula claimed that Garlemald was giving up on the Allagan tech to imprison the Eikons in Azys Lla because of how unreliable it is.

Of course I suspect it isn't going to be so simple. However just as with Regula, I can very well see a situation where Varis has a compelling argument on why we should work together. It is very possible he knows things that we don't right now.
