Haleth has noticed the softness in Canien whenever she speaks of her husband, and it makes her very thoughtful. To her it seems to speak of a deep joy, one untroubled by their separation. It is not something she would have expected.
Neither would she have expected how easily Canien falls into the role of cook's assistant, knowing where things are kept and how Haleth would wish them prepared, before Haleth has opportunity to explain. A further, if minor, bit of evidence to support Canien's incredible tale, if evidence were wanted.
It is not. Haleth believes her, every word. In truth she has ever since she recognized Caranthir's smile on his daughter's face, a melding of familiar features haunting in their familiarity.
Haleth looks resigned at this unsatisfactory answer to her question, and nods, accepting it. "Such is the fate of Men," she murmurs. "And must be, if we are to survive in this world. So be it. We are bound by change, and perhaps that is well."

Thought not. =) Does Canien have more questions of her own that she'd ask?
