I don't know if Minbari just go in for really intense relationships in every respect, but Delenn's relationship to Dukhat seems to have been incredibly powerful. I did consider fleshing it out a bit more here, with her telling him about the war and her role in it, but I couldn't make it work in my head that way - maybe she never would have told him, the same way I'm guessing she'll never tell Sheridan.
(Delenn's relationship with Dukhat is Reason #1 on my long long list of reasons for hating my least favourite B5 fanon idea - if you've not come across it yet, it goes something like 'Humans are a lot more emotional than Minbari, and Delenn's personality post-transformation, plus her relationship with Sheridan, are all mixed up because she doesn't understand this strange human thing called love.")
And hope that I can somehow find a way to make him come 'home,' if only for my own sanity and satisfaction.
