err.. read latest chapter.. Did happen. And seeing how Johannes is still affected by it I think Luther would be tactful enough for his friend. Not to mention and bring it up. Bringing it up can cause two things. Johannes would remember the grief and pain, and others seeing him as a single man might offer companionship which would hurt Johannes more. Johannes is still deeply in love with the memory of his wife and it would take a very special reason for him to not be faithful.

Yes but, you wondered if she had died during child birth, (which could have happened) if Delilah knew anything about the death she would have told Luther. Luther's comment about Johannes wife and cubs means Johannes hasn't told Luther yet.

To quote from the chapter... “I promised your friend I'd get you back,” I said, firmly. “Now shut up. Besides, it's not just your life I'm thinking of. You have nine children and a wife back home. He told me.” “My wife is dead,” the man said, in a tone so flat and quiet, I barely heard it. I knew the moment he said it that I'd just heard something that, perhaps, I hadn't been meant to hear. If this were any other time. If he weren't suffering from a head wound. That hadn't been a simple admission. His best friend had told me-

If that were true, Luther would have known about johannes wife's passing and wouldn't have told shivah in the context of his wife still being alive. Luther would have instead mentioned Johannes being a father of nine as incentive to watch the back of his friend.

Ouch.. In Heretic Johannes had 7 children and 2 on the way. Now he has 9 and his wife is dead. Did she die in childbirth I wonder, and if so would Delilah be helping with his children. Still great chapter and looking forward to seeing if they get back safely. Also seeing the plot inch closer to Luther becoming the Despoiler. Many thanks for sharing Marc
