Radomir

The winter road runs straight through the middle of the Bone Forest. A road that isn't straight cannot go to the Duke, so I will leave superstition out of the record.

• ZlataWarden, shall I give you a rumor for the price of that straight-road talk? That forest hates nothing more than a straight line.
  RadomirInnkeeper. The moment a price is attached, it stops being testimony and becomes merchandise.
• VesnaCut it straight and the road vanishes every morning.
  RadomirThen I will cut it again every morning.
• DušanAs ordered.

I saw a hand burning a loose page in the chapel. Just before it caught the flame, I read the word 'knot' written beside a name, and I did not put that name in the record.

• YarinaWriting down that you didn't write it down is still writing it down.
  RadomirMidwife. That is the most precise thing I've heard all day.
• StepanThat chapel's not a place you go at night, I keep telling you, Warden.
  DušanIt was daytime.
