"No, he shouldn't have," he repeats without hesitation. But it is what happened, and Lakshmi did what she believed she needed to. There's no judgment as he regards her. That had already been passed and she would live with it the rest of her years.

"I do not have many dealings where you once resided, but if I happen upon her..." He shrugs and lets his words trail off, implication clear. If he managed to hear from Kashi and could see Lakshmi again, he would share what he learned. It was the most he could offer. He lets his words linger in the air around them for a moment longer before he gestures in offering, "I was about to eat, if you would like to join me."
