Failan couldn't stop thinking about the situation. He wanted to know if there could be people with more than one person as a mate.
"I wonder...could you help me with something? I'll make it worth your time. I can give you whatever number of fabrics as you need if you can help with this dilemma."
Uri and Xeno saw his shift in mood when they started talking about them having a third. They exchanged glances, wondering what issue was so big that it warranted them giving as much cloth as they wanted.
Failan made such a promise, not in haste, but because he knew of more than one couple that had the same issue. While not all of them came, there were a number who had felt the mate pull.
If not for the incident with the three being exposed and the tribe leader being so against it, there would be others who could accept their three-mate status.
"We don't mind helping. But what is it that you need our help with?" Xeno asked, weary.
