Sydney came to stand beside her while Aiden's messenger was deep in conversation with Sayid's right hand man.
He whispered in her ear, "Is everything okay, what's the reason behind the delay?"
"It's Lady Carlene's husband Sayid, it seems his men take umbrage at me going to her home because of my ties to my dead husband."
Sydney nodded but his eyes showed that he did not fully understand.
His bright blue eyes were filled with worry and he didn't not know how to assist his lady properly added to his consternation.
How could she simplify her statement more, "they are in disagreement over my presence."
That didn't seem to help at all; she could see more questions pooling in Sydney's eyes.
Her presence, always an issue, so many allusions to her predicament.
It was like people were always discussing her in front of her face, she began to feel the bitterness come back and resented everyone for putting her on the spot.
