Isshiri...actually does manage to keep Telri a secret for the rest of her life. She dies when Roneli, their daughter, is about a year or two old--within three or four years of this conversation. By the time Roneli is born, though, Telri has a better understanding of some of the political issues at hand, so she doesn't bring up the promise to come forward then, more for Roneli's safety than her own.
If Telri had lived much longer, though, the whole story would have come out. There's probably an AU buried in there for me to play with, but I haven't found it yet. So.
