"Bolearis. It's good to see you well."

What had he expected, after all? No one who got in with Ouroboros got on less than shining, with their Flame Clock tidily sorted and their provisions assured, aside of Castles' Rank.

All the more truth to his esteeming statement, and all the more confidence that there was hope for the future, if even the most hangdogged (grinning, now) could pick themselves up - and be picked up, by willing comrades in winged arms.
