"I know. I'm not offended. It was for the best that I wasn't there, and I know some things you have to do yourself."

Tiamat may have been silent for the better part of a year, but that doesn't mean she isn't there, who knows how the goddess would have reacted to the ceremony, or Mortanne or Sheo. Not to mention how much she herself could have ruined by not understanding the ceremony.

"I know you are happy, but you seem...sad too."
