Seriously, Sethra might well lie about this - if V knows A knows, he's a bit more likely to let the secret slip, e.g. by making an in-joke to A that others pick up on (esp. since Vlad is [was?] apt to talk to himself and to broadcast his thoughts [a related trait? Teldra talked to herself too - perhaps she broadcast her thoughts as well. Perhaps that's why she was so well liked - she not only liked everyone, everyone could tell.].) There's an old proverb where I come from - Three can keep a secret if two are dead.
