An ally. The frontier's midwife and herbalist, the one who tends Bogdan's wounds every time he comes back out of the forest.

I'll hear you out to the end. But once I have, you sit down and eat something hot.

Zvon VillageThe Witch Who Caged the Dawn

Twenty houses wake up every dawn cursing the same curse. I seem to be the only one counting how many went into the forest last night, and today that scares me a little.

ZlataIf it scares you, come drink at my place. I'll take payment in that count of yours.
YarinaThe count's not for sale. I'll buy the drink myself.
OlenaMa'am, salt's doubled again at our mill too.
YarinaThe price didn't rise. You just bought the same morning twice.

Thread this red isn't sold anywhere on the border. And yet every winter one or two strands turn up in the village, and whoever brings them can't say where they got it.

RadomirMidwife. Write down the name of whoever received that thread, and the outpost will pay you for it.
YarinaWarden. I'm not someone who takes down names. I'm someone who delivers babies.
VesnaThat thread only stays on a wrist that's paid its debt in full.
YarinaThen what's left on a wrist that hasn't paid?

Is speaking first really such a big deal? You've got the face of someone who thinks it is.

Child, once what's in your hand gets heavy, that's not holding on anymore. That's tying someone down.

Both of you, enough. I'll warm the bread myself.

Writing down that you didn't write it down is still writing it down.

Running a business at that threshold, how do you even sleep?
