Finding someone has always been a difficult task.
Such a separation over decades in time and almost across the Aegean Sea in space. Even in an information-rich technological era, the probability of success is minimal.
Enough to make one feel true despair.
The more one cares about those lost, the more despairing the seeker becomes.
Cassandra is someone who values family deeply, Lann could feel this during their time together.
For example, she cares deeply about Phoebe.
Although sometimes she would mock and tease Phoebe's bumps during training, it was more based on the harshness of the education of the time, rather than indifference.
The cruelty of a mercenary's life made Cassandra care even more about her family.
So the priorities Cassandra set for unresolved matters did not surprise Lann.
Because he knew, that's the kind of person Cassandra is.
"Then, we may have to part temporarily, Cassandra."
