[A lovely idea, and one that Josias can appreciate. If one's whole life is to be disrupted by an errant rift exploding in one's face, at least one's partner doesn't need to be stuck twiddling their thumbs.
Only Cal has been disrupted enough, and Josias doesn't want this whole mess to impact her further. Best she's given the space to make her own life of this arrangement. It's the most he can give her for being married to a lie. A lie that then had an errant rift explode in its face.]
I... [He looks pained, and possibly a little panicky. A man who has never considered what talents his wife might have, or, indeed, that she would have any in the first place.] think she will be busy.

[A nod, to himself. A good, diplomatic answer.]
Busy, very much so.
