He would be most disappointed in the whole lot of them if they treated his dear friend poorly after all she'd done for them. So he is glad that is not the case at all. "I am glad but even one feels too many. I can't fathom, after everything, anyone that could harbor hatred for you."
At the mention of Francel he nods just a bit. That he is glad to hear as well. In their youth he took to the younger as a source of comfort in ever turbulent times and truth be told he may have needed his friend more than Francel ever needed him. But as the years went by there came to be a desire to protect more fiercely than ever and wanting to get him out of every troublesome situation that seemed to spring up more commonly as they got older. To know that he is moving along well and with a smile to match makes him glad.
