Findaráto paused to allow his sister to catch him, smiling gently at her.
'Aikanáro has a good heart, sister, but he is far more quickly roused to anger than I am. He shall forgive your rashness, and eventually, I am sure, come to accept your marriage. Do not worry yourself over Aikanáro. You must realize, sister, that you are the youngest of us, and a woman, and as such we feel an undeniable need to protect you from all the evils of the world. It is a brother's plight, especially an older brother's.' He smiled at her softly, covering her hand with his as she linked it through his arm. 'Aikanáro comes here in need of his own counsel, sister. It is not my place to betray his heart to you, but I shall tell you that in his case, the solution will not be so easy as it was in yours.'
