"No. I'm fine. Have you informed the Beast Tamers that you would be departing in Spring?" Stella diverted the topic so they won't keep talking about her well-being again.
She also hoped that by speaking about the Beast Tamers, she would get some hint on the identity of his lover.
Hendrick said that Zafir's lover was highly likely from the Beast Tamers tribe which was why he was able to hide the fact about her for a long time. Because if it was a lady from Alistair, there would have been rumors about who that lady was and the knights Hendrick had tasked to discover who the lady was would have been able to figure it out quite easily.
That was how sly her brother was. Since Zafir was not willing to tell them, he sent out people to secretly find out who the lady was. But they only got hints and rumors so far.
