Summary
The kid in front of Haskell’s desk was hell to look at— a plague orphan, he could tell that much. His face and neck were still marred with the slightly reddish pits that the pox left behind, even months later, and he was gaunt with sickness and malnutrition, bones jutting hard and nasty. They’d have pinned him down as a weakling, before the plague. But that was before. Now, in the miserable, scraping afterwards, not only was he alive, but half the gambling halls and gangs on the Lid were desperate to have him— or so Seeger said, anyway. Haskell didn’t know why this kid wanted to be in the Dregs, when the Razorgulls were practically throwing cash at him, but he wasn’t going to count his chickens. Maybe he preferred crows to gulls.

Summary
Gloved fingers tap against the side of the cart again. They sound like the approaching footsteps of the hangman. Dirtyhands looks up at the awning of the building behind him. His jaw clenches. “Aileniz…nasil?” he asks eventually, and Abi’s blood runs cold.
His family? Why would a Barrel boss want to know about his family? What is he insinuating?
A Suli vendor in Ketterdam begins to believe he's being threatened by a notorious gang boss. In unrelated news, Kaz Brekker is attempting to learn Suli, and is abysmal at small talk.

Summary
Kaz was out of town when the Komedie Brute decided to have audacity in spades.
Later, Wylan thought this was probably best. Giving the actors a grace period of about a week without having to worry about the presence of Kaz was probably a good thing.
The real Kaz, that was.

Summary
It would be a very gentlemanly thing to do, she thinks, to offer his jacket to a lady, but for the fact that it’s a muggy midsummer evening and no extra layer of warmth is needed.
He’s not being a gentleman, she decides, as she follows him down to the canal where he’s untying one of those funny little boats. He probably just doesn’t want to be seen taking a moonlit stroll with a whore.
After being rescued from the nightmare of the Menagerie, Inej gets to know her new companion over contract negotiation.

Summary
“Before what?” demanded Jordie.
Inej’s gaze bored into them, for a moment. Finally, she said:
“Before I try to convince Kaz that you’re not imposters, that he should have strangled and thrown into the harbour.”
Jordie’s neck prickled, thinking of the hard-eyed stare in the Crow Club.
“I’ve been in enough harbours for one lifetime, thank you.” he said.
He was rewarded with a very faint smile.
“...you’re not as dissimilar as he’d like, you know.”

besting impossible odds is apparently a genetic trait, because jordie is definitely not as dead as kaz thought.
