It was heartening to see at least S'Nashi react with positivity. Vasiq and Gwindir's reactions were not quite as singular. Fendros hoped that this would not turn out wrong. He and Ahnasha were risking much by opening up their old wounds. Understandably, Gwindir was dubious about Fendros himself.

"I met Ahnasha long after she feigned death," Fendros answered neutrally, trying to keep composed with the mix of emotions. "I have not lied to you at all, except to not reveal Ahnasha's fate before she wanted to." Fendros directed himself to S'Nashi and Vasiq, "My name is Fendros, I am her husband."

The last thing Fendros wanted was Gwindir to react angrily to the situation, at least not without hearing Ahnasha out. Fendros extended a hand from his forearm and spoke in an effort to slow the confusion. He tried not to be forceful in the sensitivity of the situation, "Much has happened over this past decade, I suggest that we sit down so that Ahnasha can explain."
