The situation with Kristen was the one he didn’t know how to right. Though he’d tried to explain what the elf had revealed to him, she couldn’t seem to grasp it even though Serrin was sure she believed him. That didn’t surprise the elf. What had he ever really known about himself before being shown those deep, ancient memories? And yet it was still troubling. He was partly fascinated, desperate to know the who and why and where of it all, and partly repelled, not wanting to confront it. In some ways all this made him even more uncertain about how to behave with her. Michael, gently, tried to tell him that she was growing restless and unhappy, as though Serrin couldn’t see that for himself.
