Thank you so much! I can remember almost all the Liveships and their Families, but could not remember the Kendry's Family! So it would make sense if it was never specifically stated.
Personally, not to disagree or say you are wrong, but I do not think the Tenira's own two Liveships. They are much too close to Ophelia, and love her so deeply, to have another Liveship to compete with her, for their attention if nothing else.
I believe the Kendry was spoke so familiarily to Althea about Grag because he was carrying letters between Bingtown and the Rain Wilds. Of course, amoung those was Grags letters to his family, and to Althea. I think (this is opinion, no direct quotes to back it up) that Grag was hidden on the Kendry to hide out in the Rain Wilds and built a personal bond with him on his voyage there. When he and Reyn were returning, he seemed to spend time talking to the Kendry as though they were old friends.

"Everyone thinks that courage is about facing death without flinching. But almost anyone can do that. Almost anyone can hold their breath and not scream for as long as it takes to die. True courage is facing life without flinching. I don't mean the times when the right path is hard, but glorious at the end. I'm talking about enduring the boredom, and messiness, and the inconvenience of doing what is right." -Amber
