Don't make me regret this instantly. [Though he really did walk into it so he has no one to blame but himself.] But sure, I'd be happy ta ask you some questions of my own.
[Because...yeah. He's got plenty of questions for Yeager. He'll try to follow his own rules, though.
...Boy is that a hell of a first question, but listen, it's definitely more fun than talking about the gloomy things. It's fine.]
Oh, damn near instantly. He caught me spyin' on him from outside HQ and gave my ass a good beatin'. [THE DON LITERALLY KO'D HIM.] He patched me up though, and put me ta work ta make up fer the treatment. Took me two months ta work off the debt, and by the time I got back ta the Empire, Alexei wanted me ta keep up my position as Raven.
[After another sip, he adds:]
Didja know the name "Raven" came from the Don? I wouldn't give him my name so he just tossed that one at me.
