Pavo takes deep breathes of air as he gets clear of the smoking house. Content to let Dorran take charge for a bit, while he recovers, he notes the similarity between the girl they had saved and his dead sister. Confused by this fact, Pavo does his best to forget about it for now, deciding that in his current state of mind, he was just seeing what he wanted to. However, he makes sure to get the address of the place that the child and mother will be taken to so that he can pay them a visit on another day.
Once he gets the address, he follows everyone else to the castle, occasionally glancing over his shoulder until the mother and child ar no longer in sight.
The trip through the city goes fairly easy, you run into a group of rioters, but when they see your numbers, they quickly travel down an alleyway. You reach the base of the castle, the structure of the keep rising above the old Shoanti Pyramid is impressive, and you begin to climb the stairway, after the Watch Captain waves you past...
Sorin stares around in wonder while the guard leads them through the castle. I can't believe I am in here. It was just yesterday I was watching the castle twirling a horrow card in my hand.

Dorran:
After the Korvosan Guardsmen depart, you're left in the presence of the Captain of the watch, one Lieutenant Marrus.
"Hail Captain of the Watch, Dorran Kelvar returning for duty, I was on an authorized leave. I've finally made it back with the assistance of these fellows. We broke up several groups of rioters on the way back and, came into possession of the Queen's lost brooch. So While I report for duty to quell the riots, these fellows need to see the Queen."
A group of obviously vigilant guards armed with heavy crossbows and swords escort you up to the castle. As they reach the top of the pyramid and the wide stairs curling up to the castle’s third floor, where the Crimson Throne awaits, they are greeted by a beautiful woman dressed in magnificent full plate armor—the queen’s handmaiden,
bodyguard, and closest companion: Sabina Merrin.
Dorran quietly talks to the rest of the group. "Sabina was once the protégé of the famed weapons master Vencarlo Orisini, whose family
has been influential in Korvosa for generations. Sabina left the school under dubious circumstances after a bitter duel with her former master. Since her departure from Orisini’s academy, she found her way into the
Korvosan Guard. Her skills led to a swift rise through the ranks, and her ferocity in battle and her gothic beauty quickly caught Ileosa’s eye. The queen requested Sabina be discharged from the Guard, then quickly reassigned her to her current role as royal bodyguard, handmaiden, and (rumor purports) lover. Whatever Sabina’s actual
relationship with Ileosa, she is rarely seen far from the
queen’s side."
