Dragoncrest Cliffs I'm a fool, love, for the burden

It is not Heda that heeds his call but a man who Étoille cannot place but feels, rather distinctly, he has met before. Not in Drageda but...somewhere. He looks somewhat displeased with Étoille's presence, though he pays that little mind -- he is here to visit his Heda and his children not-by-blood. 

"Bonjour," the titan says, "I am Étoille. I came from Trigeda to visit Heda." The mention of Trigeda comes nearly as an afterthought, and no further explanation accompanies it. Why repeat himself after all when he's going to tell Heda the more important news?
