![]() Nikolay holds onto Charlie as Briar and Fondo engage in another one of their invisible sword matches. The queen's death has done little to change that. Hopefully Korvosa will at least be better for her death. He welcomes Dandi's tender touches on the poor man since he finds himself incapable of offering the same. I've become hard, perhaps too hard to be of any more use to my city. He doesn't join in the magic detecting and searching that ensues.

The Queen's song tugs at Nikolay's mind, but months with Fondo has taught him how to shut out what he doesn't want to hear.
