Summary
“Any challenge is a worthwhile endeavor,” Varka replies. “But if you’re worried about being fair or giving me a handicap…” Flins certainly hadn’t said that, but now he’s curious, and he grows more curious as Varka withdraws a scrap of fabric from one pocket. “Play blindfolded.”
The challenge whets Flins’s appetite. He isn’t the kind of fae who exults in games of chance but rather ones of wit and strategy, and he was fond of collecting intelligent men like glittering baubles at the Belyi Tsar’s court. “If I am to handicap myself, then I should receive a greater reward if I win, don’t you think?” he asks, the words out of his mouth before he can help them, for he, like all fae, loves a bargain.
When a bad storm strands Varka at Flins's lighthouse, the two play chess to pass the time. After beating Varka twice, Flins agrees to play with a blindfold, provided the loser owe the winner a boon.

Summary
It is true that foxians often have a better sense of smell, just as it is true that Jiaoqiu has one that is several times more sensitive than the average foxian. It allows him to detect scents that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to pick up on. Scents such as arousal.
Moze, clearly, did not know this.
(or: Jiaoqiu’s sense of smell proves to have some surprising uses.)

Summary
Sunday is going to die at the end of this. He knows as much. Even so, that knowledge not make him any more accepting of said pre-determined outcome.
The manacles about his wrists are heavy, singing with the faint melody of the Harmony that imbues them. He's spent weeks bound and wasting away in his cell, not even the luxury of company nor small talk to distract him from the jarring weight of the cramped, chilly hovel he's been forced to call home.
That is, until a high-ranking IPC member graces him with his presence.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Aventurine considers it novel that he derives such pleasure from seeing Sunday bound and restrained, should probably find it within himself to be a bit unsettled. But he shoves such feelings aside and instead focuses on why he's returned to Penacony in the first place: to ask the disgraced Oak family head a simple question under the guise of a pulse check:
"Was it worth it?"

Summary
Penance is the only reasonable response to atoning for the sins that Sunday has committed. There is debt of regret that he owes the gambler that is built by guilt and shame. A debt he desperately wishes to repay so that they both can move on - even if it leaves Sunday haunted by honeyed smiles and dual-toned eyes. It's a shame that Aventurine never returned to him in order to allow him to seek this repentance. It's a shame that Sunday has no choice but to seek him out on his own.
