Her husband... well, that explains it. In some cases one might feel awkward for suggesting they thought someone's spouse was insane to their face, but fortunately for Estinien, he's not that sort of person. He experiences little shame for addressing what seems like an obvious red flag.

"'Twas," he says. "And I was not at my most reasonable either, I can admit."

Yet 'community leader' mixed with what he saw there still implies darkness that he can't explain away so easily. Though he supposes Flagg wasn't the only one conjuring horrible imagery in their amnesiac stupor. Nadine's testimony does something to ease his worries, but... well, it would likely take something from the man himself to be fully convincing. It's sufficient for now, though, he thinks.

"Eponine had mentioned... that she thought you would be killing her on Flagg's behalf."

Maybe he can't completely blame Eponine for having the wrong impression.
