With Edgar up and about, the fairies were very excited to get moving as a unit to go see Taniora's resting place. Cass wouldn't lie and say that he wasn't interested either. He was.
He had never been to this lake, where it was clear in Edgar's wheeling and dealing ways, that he had. Now that he knew Edgar better, like Fiona had known Edgar better in the novel, he knew why Edgar had done what he had.
He had needed to survive, and he had very little support from his family to do so. To what extent?
Cass was pretty sure he would be too upset if he found out the depths of which Edgar's lack of support went. He already had an inkling, and he couldn't fully cut all ties with Duke Vespertine yet. He still needed to go to the main temple, he still needed to speak to the gods. After all, he hadn't gotten his chance to see his sister and her family yet.
He had to keep his knowledge to the bare minimum for his own sanity, and then he could cut them off. Maybe.
