Success Depends on Secrecy, Failure on Leakage

It was not exactly about keeping anyone in check, but Anveena's identity was indeed highly sensitive. Zul'ra was unwilling to reveal it proactively, lest Quel'Thalas seize upon some weakness of his. He merely apologized to Aegwynn and told her to ask around herself.
