whatever it was, he seemed far from this conversation even if he was still in some danger. )
Yes of course, sorry let me get up.
( although it seemed urgent, he was rather slow to rise from his knees with all the tiredness more familiar to an old man than someone like him, who was barely pushing thirty. )
