RE: Talking about the past with Unna
"Thank you," Unna expressed her gratitude toward Ashla, "for both your help and your words. I understand why you did not speak up and I do not think anyone was about to change their minds anyway." Unna walked over to the mirror and examined the curious way the dress fit. "I wonder how she knew the size..."
"I agree, we do need more faith," Unna looked down, sadly reflecting on Auro's words in the presence of Lady Baku and after they parted ways with her. "I would have liked more faith placed in me earlier. I do not disbelieve Auro's hunch to leave Baku, but it does not mean that my trip to the shop was a bad idea either. It is hard to say if any of us will be wrong. That is why I would like for us to all meditate after dinner, but I do not know if everyone will agree."
Unna picked up the headdress and began to fit it over her prosthetic lekku. As she spoke, she wrapped and tied the headdress and made sure it was adjusted and in place. "I did not know. That is tragic. I wonder..." Unna turned to look at Ashla. Anticipation and concern were obvious in her eyes and she took a nervous breath. "Their daughter...was her name Ashla as well?"
