"It's all a bit complicated, but basically, they were told they had to keep me, and keep me alive, until I was taken to the school. Anything beyond alive was just a bonus." As he says it, Harry winces. That both is and isn't how it worked out and it sounds far worse when he says it.

Aeler shrugs at this answer; neither offering pity, nor dismissing the difficulty that Harry experienced. He merely accepted it for what it was, the world was a cruel one, Harry's story was one among many and histrionics would do nothing to better it.

"Well, in the end you survived through it." Aeler replied, taking another idle sip of his drink. "And really, that's all that matters."

If the other man doesn't complain, Harry will raise his glass to toast to that.

"Survival isn't always enough, but it's a damn fine start and hard to do anything much without it." Harry appears to be genuinely pleased at having met and chatted with Aeler.

Aeler smiles at that, and it's not his customary razor-edged grin, but rather something far more honest and revealing. "Yes." He agrees simply, toasting Harry back. "And I'll drink to a couple of survivors." His mouth twisted a little, amused as he adds, mild, for him at least, "Damn this wine. Making me sentimental."

"What do you suggest we do about that then?" Clearly they can't have too many feelings. What would Dasha say? "They put on a good spread, if you haven't eaten yet."
