Summary
They’re kind of in the thick of the shit when the truth of Wylan’s identity comes out. No one really asks any questions, just takes the information at face value and moves along.
One of Wylan’s first nights in the barrel, a street merchant had laughed at Wylan as he stopped to offer a girl with messy hair and dirt smeared across her face half of the loaf of bread he’d just purchased. As he’d stooped down to offer it to her and check her over for injuries, her twin brother had bustled behind him, looting the rest of the measly krudge from Wylan’s pocket. When he’d crossed the street to the merchant to buy some fruit the merchant had chuffed he didn't have any krudge to offer. Wylan frantically searched his pocket only to come up empty handed.
“You gotta assume the worst about everyone in the barrel kid. ‘Cause you gotta be at your worst to end up in the dirty barrel.” The merchant offered him a dropped and bruised apple and sent him to scurry off. The kids have taken the money he’d been carrying to pay for his boarding for the week.
Or, the five times the crows are mean to Wylan after finding out his true identity, and the one time they try to make it up to him.

Summary
“You know Matthias didn’t even want to touch me when we first met because I was Grisha,” Nina says it like it's a throw away comment, but it is effective in stopping Wylan in his own self destruction. The other two heads in the room snap to her.
“Okay it wasn’t just because I was Grisha, he had Fjierdan morals about laying with a woman and what not,” Nina waves one hand dismissively like she was shooing away a bug.
“Nina,” Inej tries to reprimand but there is mirth in her voice.
“What did you do?” Wylan asks genuinely curious. He’s definitely not making internal notes.
“Tied him up,” Nina says with another dismissive shrug.
***
Or the one where Kaz Brekker convinces Wylan to go through with a honeypot operation, Wylan(and Inej) get a small bit of revenge, and Wylan reclaims what is his(Jesper, Jesper is his).
