René d'Herblay, alias Aramis

“Take your time.” Athos can already imagine what he would advise at home, and it pains him to think of the betrayal he would inevitably suggest. At home, the fewer people who knew what Aramis had done, the less danger they would all be in. Here, no such danger exists, but that does not mean that telling Porthos will be easy. Porthos has a habit of taking things personally. “Choose your words carefully, and he will forgive you."
