After a while of awkward silence, Avery begins to talk about the Albus he knows. "Actually, he never said much, unless it was about you or runes. I had to piece most of it together; in the very beginning, when we had internalised the theory of body modification, we were supposed to test it on a finger. Take a needle, dip it in acid and prick the tip of the finger to understand what we were getting into. You can imagine how bad it was. The pain was excruciating, and when I had cleaned up my vomit, he was still sitting there with the needle on the floor. He fainted, but if Eyvind hadn't talked to him I wouldn't have noticed."
