[And bluntly put, it's not as though his death here would be a problem. Raven doesn't remember everything that happened afterwards, and perhaps that's a mercy. This would be a very different conversation if Raven remembered the Don's death - and truthfully, that's all the reason Raven would need to want Yeager dead. It isn't something he's allowed himself to think about for any longer than his limited appearance in Dahngrest after the fact, and he really doesn't want to start now.
And that's not even addressing Alexei himself. Yeager is here because Hamelin finds it amusing, he's certain of that. Alexei has no need or use for him here and has mostly left him be; it would be more of a risk to stick his neck out for Yeager than to let him die. That much is obvious, and so the knowledge that Raven did all of this just because he could, is...
It's difficult, truthfully. He doesn't want to think about it.]
You don't need to apologize, anyway. It isn't as though I was willing to assist you when you were being suspected.
[He watched, certainly. And some part of him found it amusing that Raven was dealing with it, that he was being accused of a crime he obviously didn't commit. So perhaps he got what he deserved, although nearly being executed for such a thing is a little much.
Yeager sighs once that's out there absently reaching up to toy with his bangs.]
I do appreciate the good word you put in for me. It seemed like it convinced some of them, at least.
[Raven could have sold him out and gotten him killed in a heartbeat. Just mentioning that Leviathan's Claw is the guild of assassins would have been enough to seal his fate. But Raven twisted things just enough to be believable without seeming like he was desperate to cover for him. It was enough, which is frankly more than Yeager deserved.]
