"You keep the sword," she said, handing it back. "I keep my sword out of habit more than anything, I am far more skilled with knives or my bow. As for Ainur's husband..." She let out a soft chuckle. "I suspect he knew, she said the guards delayed her return one day when she had visited me and...instead of being angry with her, he just said 'Next time bring me back some of the famous Elven bread'. Karolina certainly knew about us, and...when I discovered Ainur's death from Karolina she told me that Vennar had wanted to find me in case our shared grief could help each other, but even knowing he accepted her love for me...I couldn't face him, not with the broken heart I carried, or the guilt that...if I had been there maybe I could have saved her life."<br/><br/>She took a moment to try and calm her emotions before continuing. "Rumours reached the ears of the Sentinels that there was a large Orc raiding party threatening the Northern lands, I couldn't say no to assisting the locals, but it seems it was either a misunderstanding or a drunk fool playing a prank for his own entertainment."
