Dragoncrest Cliffs A-after the war I went back to New York

Although he is frustrated he did not glean more information for Drageda, he is glad to have been of some use, at the least. He hopes whatever conflict the black-capped woman sought to bring to them is nothing more than false alarm. Blackfeather had not bit at the bait if nothing else, as far as Étoille can tell. 

His eyes widen slightly in surprise at heda's proclaimation. He is, of course, flattered. And it is true he considers himself sort of a success in his own right. Yet.. "Thank you," he begins, "although I am not sure I was very good at all." It is a rare display of -- humility, perhaps. Insecurity if you squint. Not that he will turn down heda's appointment or shirk any job given... but he doesn't want to let her down, either.
