[ Rafe scoffs at the question, eyes rolling in exasperation and if it keeps him from having to meet that stare head-on for a moment, well. Then it does.

Half the shit he's heard is likely puff, exaggeration, the usual distortion that comes from it being told by friends of friends of a friend. Still leaves a hell of a lot in the realm of "probably". Still so much more than any other ten men can claim across the whole of their careers. He lists them off one by one, the greatest hits. ]

Yeah, and?

[ They're not small accomplishments, he knows, and Nate has sketchbooks full of material on them, notes and scribbles about ancient lands, fragmentary pieces of history he pockets along the way. Things he can't sell or give to a museum for lack of provenance, things that gather dust in the boxes of his attic office.
