There is a pause between Caleb's question and any attempt at an answer. It's clear, even for just a few seconds, that the sudden shift in topic has caught Yussa particularly off guard. He sits back, not withdrawing so much as taking a moment to collect himself. He looks down at his wine for a moment.

How is one to really answer a question like that? Yussa is quite certain that Caleb is not asking after anything mundane.

"I am in one piece, thanks to you," he says eventually. "It... was an experience I will not soon forget."

Yussa lifts his gaze to meet Caleb's again, more somber than he had been a moment ago. He knows that it might have been a group effort to find him, but it was the quick thinking of one man - this man - that made his survival possible.
