The problem is not only the lie itself, but the way he explained it. He basically told her "Well I just wanted to use you guys instead of just asking for help, wanted to make my job with half a heart while doing the thing that REALLY is important for me", leaving Feaf with nothing but guilt (as Axi was right, basically, since Rhov lied and she suspected not less) and pressure (she obviously feels sympathy for Rhov and is now between this feeling and her duty to the capital to mention it to someone). She even said so "Axi was unfair to you" just to hear that in fact, she was not.
The moment was just awful chosen, I think he should have told earlier, but at least it's out there now, sadly just in a way that makes another being responsible for it, as Feaf is already a guild member and should call him out. I feel so sorry for her, she must feel betrayed, as she trusted him and even offered him a stay, just to hear Axi was, kinda, right.
That being said, I do hope Rhov will learn from it. Jahla admitted towards Thakir that she feels guilty how she acted towards other, especially Rhov as we know, in regard of her beliefs, she grew out of it and said it out loud. Not it would be nice if soon, we could see Rhov, admitting that sometimes lying is the only possibility, maybe not the right one, but the best one to chose. Like the doctor said "Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones, but you still have to choose."

its weird to say but I really think feaf isn't angry specifically at rhov but more the information he gave to her has now put alot of pressure on her, cause she knows how the guild is and her job, also knows how axi will react if she knew and now she has to work out how to deal with all the information she was just given and shes angrily venting her frustrations out while deciding how she will act, Ive been there afew times XD but fully agree its not the most ideal time to reveal the truth but holding it off longer would have had MUCH worse outcomes especially if they saw jahla before rhov spilled the beans

Although I think its good he confessed, I feel as though the timing wasn't too great. I dunno though. I do know that Feaf can get really angry really quick - Not sure I enjoy seeing her like that either :/ I hope things smooth over and she agrees to continue to help him. Cuz I like these two being friends, and I'd hate for this to ruin that D:

I'm glad it's finally out. Feaf has every right to be angry at him but the kind soul she is I bet she'll help him anyway in the end.
Also the puppies in the background in the last panel are an adorable little detail. Reminds me of Asmundr when we first saw little Rhov and his siblings :D

As much as I absolutly ADORE Rhov finally admitted the truth, I also feel his timing wasn't well thought through. ^^;
And is it just me that Feaf more got angry when he said he has a mate? XD
