Nina

Everyone spat and turned away, but my feet wouldn't move. One of my shoes got caught on the threshold, really, that's all it was.

• HannaGoing north in those shoes? Buy a pair from my place, I'll knock the price down for you.
  NinaIt's just... I don't have a single silver coin.
• EdgarI won't stop you from following. But get inside the column, fall behind and we leave you.

I got a bowl from the soldiers' soup pot. I couldn't bring myself to ask for a second, though.

• EdgarIf you'd asked, I would have given it to you.
  NinaReally? No, never mind. It's fine.
• HannaThe kind ones freeze first. Just remember that.

A stone flew out of the alley, but it never reached the carriage. A warhorse was standing in the way.

• RaidenIf what I am escorting is harmed, that falls on me. Nothing more.
  HannaNothing more, sure. Of course it's nothing more.
• EdgarDo you remember the face of the one who threw it? Scar on the left cheek.
  NinaI remember. But I'm scared, so I'll just say I didn't see.
