Summary
“And how’s your appetite?”
“I’ve been eating, if that’s what you’re asking.”
“Yes, but are you still nauseous?”
“I eat, Vyce. I keep down what I can, as well as I am able. I rise and rest early, I walk the sands before and after each meal, I sit by the sea while the sun shines and by the window when it doesn’t. I do all that was asked of me. Gods, can we dispense with such talk?” Denam huffs, turning away now, shoulders hunched. Were they always so slight, so sad? “I am not a babe yet wet behind the ears. I understand full well my predicament.”
Vyce pays a visit to his ailing commander.

Summary
“You and I saw him at Balmamusa. You know he was blind and deaf to all reason.”
“But perhaps not to me,” he mumbles. Shameless, to make such a comment – his cheeks flush at his own words, not one to be so forthright in personal matters such as this. “He may have heeded me.”
“With that hard head of his? Not bloody likely.”
Denam has Canopus tend to his wounds after encountering Vyce - or some version of him, at least - with Nybeth in Golyat.

Summary
“What would I know about that sibyl?”
Gildas inches nearer on his left. “You’d know all that Denam knows, that’s for sure.”
“Pardon?”
“You must know a little,” Mirdyn assents, coming closer on his right. “Don’t you?”
“Why – why would I?”
“Come now, you couldn’t play coy if the commander’s life depended on it.” Canopus laughs. “I know full well you’re his nearest ear. What tells you he? Did he really forget the lass ‘til we found her in Brigantys?”
Vyce scowls. “I have no idea. Haven’t you anything more to worry you?”
“Ought we have? You’re looking awfully worried yourself.”
Vyce shares a drink with the Xenobians, who are very eager to know of their young commander's love life following the appearance of one Olivya Phoraena.

Summary
He would make this effort for none other. He has not the heart, he knows, to mourn so deeply each loss levied against him. How many are there now? Thousands, surely. Thousands and thousands. He stopped keeping count after learning of what happened following the fall of Phidoch; someone else, somewhere else, has looked after the list of casualties since then, has handled harrying the news home to those who had homes and seeing to the burials of those who did not. Denam does not know who it is that oversees this – he left it to Mirdyn to find a suitable substitute, he feels, though can’t be sure.
He has little certainty of anything save the grave these days.
Denam pays a visit to Vyce before the sacking of Heim.
