Thistle's revelation of the fact that she had agreed to her husband's decision to take another wife made Osprey give a bewildered look. To put up with it for the sake of her husband being happy, while it did not seem that this turn of events had not given her much joy? She couldn't decide between admiration for Thistle's self-sacrifice and the inkling thought in the back of her mind that this was a very foolish thing to do. The latter based on the fact that Osprey would never agree to that kind of thing - either she would cut all ties with the man or make him choose between her and the other woman.

But this had been Thistle's choice and no matter, what Osprey would have done in her place, she had to respect it. "And... did your husband came out of this situation as a better man?" had he learned his lesson? Had his first wife's sacrifce been worth of something? "Atka and Sos must be a popular religion around the place - you are not the first person I hear about it."
