Summary
It was the old man on the ground floor, was it, that merchant of secrets, who’d let slip to her that that young pair of hunters come up from the south had abandoned this room? And that certain girls with quick hands and sweet eyes were welcome to it, if they’d fancy a place of their own—even if just a small one in a crumbling old house that belongs to no one much. At any pass, he said, he’d made it a point to save such tidbits for the girls in question before anyone else, just in case. Just in case, and for only two gil! And Ahlab had figured it was kind, and paid up. She’ll have to go back downstairs and thank him later.
In which a wanderer finds a room of her own.

Summary
“I don’t know that animals converse the way we do,” says Marianne. She looks at Claude’s image in the mirror: at the places where his own hair falls into his face, at the familiar angle of his bent neck, edged in lamplight. “But if they live around each other long enough, they start to be able to understand each other. The meaning of the sounds they make, and their movements… It’s a different sort of language, I suppose.”
Marianne makes herself at home.

Summary
You can’t speak just yet to whether time—and age? experience? not that war or rulership have given you much of the latter, at least in the area of gardening—has made your thumbs any less brown, but the house in the Oghma Mountains is surrounded by so many growing things it hardly seems to matter. It sits at the edge of a forest, on the gentle lower slopes, and the people in the nearest town had all smiled to speak of it when they pointed the way for Hubert, the day you arrived. A number of them were old enough to remember what it had been like, years ago, in the warm and golden before, and to insist that it had not changed in the ways that mattered. It was still full of light. The air still smelled green.
In which Edelgard keeps a garden, Hubert learns to fly, and those they leave behind refuse to be left behind.

Summary
“Do you think you’re going to miss it?” Trish says at last, to her hands.
“Miss what, your talking?” Narancia grins, midway through popping a second nut into his mouth whole. “Haven’t heard a peep out of you all day.
“No,” she says, looking up to glower at him across the table. There’s an edge in her voice and in her eyes when she talks like this, something that turns her slightly imperious, like a real noble. Narancia always wonders if maybe she’s not acting, when she gets like that. “Naples.”
On the cusp of their departure, Narancia and Trish discuss homes.
