    Summary

    "Do ballads of regret and heartbreak make for popular tavern fare?" Yennefer snaps, setting down the pestle. 

    "Not so much in the taverns," Jaskier replies, unfazed. "But plenty of lords like having their heartstrings tugged. Also, shockingly popular with nobles trying to annoy each other. Upper-crust pettiness happens to be a very lucrative source of revenue.

    Yennefer expects sex when she spirits Jaskier away for the winter. The mortifying ordeal of knowing and being known takes her by surprise.
