What had happened back then. . .
"Master Ren," Faina replies to Harnan's farewell, adding her own subtle bow of the head in answer to his. Faina neither turns to watch Harnan's departure, nor moves immediately to rejoin her fellow Imperial Knights, Voshkie and Nechama, not yet trusting her expression or body language to conceal the commingled sense of relief and disquiet her encounter with the Master of the Ren has left her with, his cryptic parting line about the burden they are potentially bound to be beset by should whatever prophesied future he has been made aware of or foreseen sobering enough to leaven the revelation that Fiora will be allowed to choose her own fate, if only to the degree that anyone can.
Taking a deep breath once she has regained her composure, Faina turns and motions for her self-appointed personal guards to join her as she continues on her way to their next destination, a meeting with Nicademus' younger brother, Baltasar, so that he can begin her instruction in what will be involved in her duties as Empress, which she knows will be made more difficult to attend to after her talk with Harnan, but will do her best to pay attention to and absorb all the same.
