He dragged the survivor back to his cabin and nursed him back to health. The old man, it turns out, is an alien ambassador. He tells Harry that agents will be coming for him soon, for he was on his way back to space from his latest rounds of meetings and talks. It would take a few days for them to locate his downed ship, but they would. The agents take him away and Harry is told to keep quiet. But the old man insist on spending time with Harry. They regale each other with tales from their lives and their world. It is from this talks that Harry writes his fiction. On the evening of the Nebula award ceremony, Harry tells the old man that he feels he hasn't earned the award. The old man tells him to go and get, because Harry has paid for the stories by trading them for his own.
