At the inn, Vex tells her brother what happened. He leaves behind his purse, which Vex steals. He tells her to watch her back, and leaves the shop. He offers to bring her to the the Cobalt Reserve, but Vex refuses and draws her knife. She realizes that she saw him a few times throughout the day. A well-dressed man enters the store: Lord Berin Abenard. At sunset, Vex stops at a bookstore, looking for books on dragons. The twins split up to complete their errands. Vex spots a shop selling metal figurines of animals, and she's drawn to a copper bear, but the elven shopkeeper speaks coldly to her, and she walks away. The next day, in Westruun's Market Ward, Vax'ildan is at ease, while Vex'ahlia is eager to finish their business. They discuss their plans for Westruun: as usual for them, Vax wants to spend more time in the city, while Vex wants to avoid it as much as possible. The twins defeat them, but Vax is temporarily paralyzed by spider venom. In the present, Vax'ildan, Vex'ahlia, and Trinket's journey to Westruun via the Bramblewood Forest is interrupted by giant spiders. The twins reassure each other that they always have each other, and that they won't have to leave Byroden. After the innkeeper closes the shutters, the children begin speculating that the elven man is the twins' father. The twins are surprised to see their mother, Elaina, arrive to speak with him. Twelve years ago, in Byroden, nine-year-old half-elven twins Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia and their friends spy on an elven stranger through the shutters of the inn.
