[ Harpy earns a huff of air, as likely to have turned into a laugh as a snort if it'd been given more backing. He doesn't harbor Benevenuta any ill will—fear and avoidance, those are different—but it's nice to occasionally not be blamed for whatever went wrong with the hot, charming one. ]
Leander?

You were friendly, weren't you? I don't recall if you heard what came of him.
