[Anduin pauses to take in a deep breath as he processes this. Lethe -- the dragon that Wei Wuxian had been bound to since first coming to this place...]
Lethe...
Do you mean to say that -- all of the dragons in the city...?
No. Not... not all. Cain's loaned dragons, the large ones, they lived. Lethe... Lethe did not.
( a deep breath in, then out. )
But until we're in Serthica, with either the scales we brought back or the eye Magnus found, we won't know. For them, or for any of Serthica's peoples. If they're dead, or if they're dolled.
( not even rhetorical, and stated without heat; he sighs afterward. )
He seems well bonded with Hermione as well, can you tell her? After we speak. Wrathion was upset enough I couldn't tell him what feeling the newborn dragons as dead meant, and with this, I fear the answer is more was lost five years ago than the citadel's been allowed to remember. And the dragons, who should see through it all, are being rendered selectively blind.

I see. I -- am sorry, Wei Wuxian. I do not mean to upset you by inquiring further on this. But... I would ask that you tell me all that you can.
[A beat, as he deliberates how to phrase this.]
You understand as it is how this news will upset Wrathion.
