A pity there's little enough proof Dimitri could offer other than his word. Shrike, well, didn't exactly have much access to mirrors in his own world when he was young, so it's debatable whether he'd recognize himself from fifty years younger even if he'd been in the habit of posting videos to the network.

For that matter, this version of Shrike wouldn't even know what such a network is.

In any case, that offer makes him pause a moment.

"I find it doubtful that I possess currency recognized in this place." Yep, still same old dislike of feeling indebted to others.
