Truthful answer in the cases of personal ailment instead of continued deflection was not the expected, so it came as a pleasant surprise. Likewise, the acceptance of help was not denied. It bolstered estimations, if nothing else. Thraen gave an assenting nod, and stepped to a closer, more genial distance. "Lead the way then, and wing under wing in support we may both fly sure."

A pleasant unusual, for once. And welcome.
