Good excuse! I can believe that, and excellent point about the double narrative filter. It's Delenn's story as told to Londo as told to children, so of course it's not straightforward history.

Mind you: I do love the idea that Delenn told Londo, of all the people, even that much about her culpability for the Earth/Minbari war, and I've said before that it is my fanon her real reason for wanting him to share the ceremony in "Ceremonies of Light and Dark" was that she wanted to tell him the secret then. He was the one person in no position to judge her and yet with the ability to understand which Lennier, whom she saw as the purest of the pure, did not.
