The two of them are friends and while his deceit was through omission more than direct deception, Faolan is aware of her feelings regarding the Night Council and hid his allegiance with them. Ringer has considered her side of it, making her distrust of the Council clear and considering that perhaps Faolan was afraid of admitting as much and losing what shaky alliance, or friendship, they do have. But he must also know that lying is worse, that there's no way he could have kept it secret forever. Whatever his reasoning, he did deceive her, his alleged friend. And she's pretty sure that he's aware of how poorly she deals with being lied to.
"Why did you hide it?" She asks after a moment. As tempting as it is to be silent and wait for him to carry the conversation, Ringer's not sure that Faolan's attempts to make her feel better will actually give her the answers she needs to even begin to understand this. Because she does feel hurt and betrayed and that's hard for her.
