“The gods are merciful and they scrambled his mind to protect him,” Cnotheos mumbles through a mouthful of goat. “Once I arrived, I was able to restore his senses with compassion and unwatered wine. I shall never forget the sound of his cries when he saw his family in bed, covered in sores and buzzing flies…” Shaking his head, he continues, “It was the work of days to dig the burial plot and inter them all – but Seisames did not hesitate to help. We labored shoulder to shoulder; we have since become true friends. As a man of honor, he has done his best to honor Prothis’ arrangement with my father, Agataon, although the finances of the house were crippled in the disaster. We have discussed the tragedy many times, but the simple truth is this – Seisames does not know how the plague came to pass. He struggles with the mystery of it still. My sister has simply refused to discuss the events - she refuses to speak of it or even acknowledge that it occurred. It has caused great tension between them - on some days, she seems to flee Seisames' presence. It is a sad thing , but there has been no children in the house of Seisames." Cnotheos leaves the rest unsaid, but the implication is clear - he does not expect nieces or nephews in the future, either.
