Revenge would forcibly smile upon Abby's Halima's initial reaction. "'Friend' is kind of stretching it, to be honest." Then he went back to a neutral expression.
"I'm a paladin of Sehanine. There were Arian soldiers tracking Corsica and Ying. I... tried to stay neutral in the encounter, wanting anything but senseless violence. It was unavoidable, though. Adventurers were involved." He would make an open-handed gesture as he indicated this.
"There was a time in my life where I suffered a great loss. My wife had gone missing, and a lot of innocent people were killed, an entire town razed. Ultimately, I know I wouldn't have made a difference, but not being there to protect her drove me to the brink of madness and anguish. I lost everything in that time of my life, and started a new life, one as a paladin instead. My oath is to protect those who are unable to protect themselves, so no one has to suffer what I suffered. I took up the name Revenge though, to be the hand of justice for everyone who was lost that day, and right the wrongs that were committed."
Watching Abby's Halima's reaction for signs of recognition, he would briefly pause before continuing. "During my encounter with Corsica and Ying, I learned that Aria was responsible." He paused, looking away. "No, that's not accurate; that certain Arians were responsible. I can't hold a grudge against a whole country of people that happened to be born under a certain flag, where only a select few are responsible for atrocities unbeknownst to the public. But... I think you know what I mean. So I'm more of an ally to Corsica and Ying than a friend."
His tail would flick back and forth twice. "I'm here because of this." He would take out the wanted picture of Abby Halima, and hand it to her. "You're not safe here. I want to make sure you're safe, protected. From my understanding, Corsica and Ying are going off the grid and will never be found, but you were unaware of the danger facing you."

Gladesdale
A place to rest for the weary.
Kuori is pretty confident that this area of the surface world has no native creatures with petrification powers, which might explain why the guards were caught so unprepared to deal with the situation. The evidence in Kuori's mind would point to the creature being a basilisk, but they are large cumbersome creatures. Perhaps it could be a medusa but it would be incredibly odd and unlikely to find one here--even more so than a basilisk.
The guards talk to each other for a moment before one of them produces a mirror from his pocket and gives it to Kuori. "Here, if you think it will help. Though I would kind of like it back when you are done, please. It belongs to my wife. "
The head guard clears his throat and answer Kuori's question. "Yes, it was downstairs when it was last seen. We haven't observed any movement since then, but I have forbidden anyone from going into the house. Whatever it is, we believe it originally came from that house over there at the end of the street. In there you will find the stone statue of Frank Lowell, a known thief and pickpocket. We imagine he broke into the house to rob it and found more then he was bargaining for. We are still trying to determine the resident of the house. Anyways, one of Franky's accomplices came to us all frantic with the news of his buddy before making himself scarce. We came to investigate and began searching the houses on the street and well, this is how we arrived here now."

"... I know. I saw," Revenge would say, closing his eyes.
About what Aria did to 'us'.
His wife not recognizing him, not even with subtle prompting to ease her through any amnesia, was hard enough. But to learn that she had been changed so, against her will. When the girls spoke of their metamorphosis before, they seemed to do so with a memory of anguish. And now, it seems the same happened to Halima.
"Halima, it's me," Revenge would say suddenly, his voice cracking, as he reached out to grab her shoulders. He looked into her eyes, unwavering, despite the pain reflected in his own. "Don't you recognize me at all? Your own husband?"

Revenge would hold Halima to him, remaining silent for a while as the shock of the moment has passed for her.
"You haven't lost your memories," he explained softly to her. "You came back here, didn't you? Some part of you must have known, deep down, the answers lie here."
After her sobbing waned, he would step back from her. "I'm... not the same as I was before, either. I'm..." He closed his eyes and averted his gaze. "I'm not Naeem anymore. I'm not the same man you had married. I think Corsica couldn't grasp Tiefling pride, Tiefling honor... nor Tiefling love, either. I've become cold, jaded to the world. I've changed a lot since that fateful day years ago, which is why that name is gone... just as your name has changed as well." He would once more look to Abby ... Halima Abby, a sadness still in his eyes.
He would crack an awkward, forced smile. "You... used to get on my case about having a sword in the house in case of burglars, but I... had refused, saying that they were too dangerous." He would gesture to the sheathed weapon at his side. But he once more frowned sadly when the impact that using that memory to make a point was a lost cause. "... I'm sorry, I-"
He would look once more to her with pleading eyes. "What do we do now?"
