Fear there might have been, but Tristan's determination made him immune for the most part. If you're determined to do something, even fear cannot stop you, correct? But that's besides the point. What's more important is Tristan's reaction to all of this.
Which frankly wasn't much, all things considered. He really didn't even blink at what she said, just shrugged.
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just afraid to see her again. But thinking about it, seeing as I've spent these hundreds of years trying to become more like those humans she dislikes so much, especially after I left her behind to marry one...I have good reason to be. Like this, I can remember her as my cute, adoring younger sister. If I see her again...that will be shattered, and I'll lose what memories I have of her. They'll be overshadowed by who she is now. So I have my reasons."
