“Not if good reason,” Eryn said calmly.

Kelsier nodded. “And now? How do you feel now?”

"Well, what are good reasons?"

"pants are not good reason." Drae said, then he shruged casually "I feel good enough. But, as I said, there's not much reason trying to make me feels better because....umm life?"

He nodded. “I think Drae and I are almost finished. Drae?”

“Never,” Kelsier said, tone suddenly serious. “Not until the day you turn your back on me entirely. You’re mine Drae, and I take care of my own.”

"thats what they all say. But they all leave in the end, even the best of them. It'd be easier if you didn't give me false hope to live off. " Drae's heart was pounding in his chest. He took deep breaths to try calm his wild emotions. "I think I need some space." he rocked on his feet then slowly pivoted and stumbled out the door. 

He walked a few feet then collapsed and lay face down in the dusty ground. Would Kelsier really come through on his promise? His brassy heart wanted his to yield to itself and trust Kell, but his brain knew the consequence of that risk going south, and made him trembled at the thought. He groaned into earth and hoped that no one would come out to 'rescue' him.

Kelsier sighed, gently putting Zola down. “Wait here, Princess.”

He leaned against the doorframe, watching Drae. “I can’t save you, you know. Only you can do that. Only you can choose to get up, to keep fighting, to keep believing. That’s what this,” he gestured at the church, “is all about. Survive. Fighting with all you have so long as you have a life to cling to. 

“But it has to be your choice. I can’t make it for you.” The Survivor walked down the steps, slow and easy, until he stood before the broken man.

“So what do you choose, Drae? Will you abandon Me and lay here in the dust until My brother comes for you?

”Or,” the Survivor smiled and extended a scarred hand, “will you take My hand and stand aright, reborn as I was, to seek a life renewed?”

Drae turned his head to the side "I've been wandering out in the roughs with nothing for so long that sometimes, surviving is all I can do. I suppose you can relate to that." He pushed himself up and knelt in the dirt. "I've been wandering around these past few years, trying to forget myself. Maybe I'm not okay, prehaps I could even be traumatised because of my minds misgivings. Part of me is always going to resent you, the Survivor. But you're right, I'm dont feel dying at the moment." then he stood up where he was, leaned in past Kelsier's outsteched hand and embraced the man who stood before him.

“Sovereign bad influence.” Eryn said ruefully, though her tone betrayed her amusement.

A smile creeped onto Drae's face. He released The Survivor and walked back inside with the word 'survivor' echoing through his body like a mother's lullaby. The people in this room would probably become something like a family if Kelsier made good on his promise. He sat on the floor and revelled in the newborn glimmer of happiness the was rebounding around his soul.

"Are you done now, Drae?"
