Zeratul found Gai's concern for Tassadar heartening. He had been troubled to find his friend so isolated and withdrawn, so he was glad to know at least one person had befriended him.

"Hm, I have heard the Executor was here for a time." He knew she was needed back in their home sector, but her presence had probably once been a comfort to Tassadar. The sons and daughters of Aiur were not suited for being alone, not like he was.

He considered Gai's offer, then shook his head. "You are most kind, but there are some things I must see for myself at present. I will have many questions soon, I am certain."
