She has had time to find her balance once more; and it is not as though this is precisely a new experience. The sense of loss that comes to mortals with the snapping of such a link is still keen, however.

He knew (in a far, distant way) that it was nothing she did on purpose.
He knows (in a much less distant way) that it wasn't something she would seek.
