Temper is standing watch on the walls of Mock's Hold. As he watches the approach of a message cutter, he reflects on the arrival of a Malazan man-of-war three days earlier. With hundreds of others, he had observed the Imperial official disembark. As he had been watching, he had remembered his own time aboard such imperial vessels. He had then seen cloaked figures exiting the ship who seemed all too familiar and had wondered if they were from Unta and possibly after him.

abstract	Temper is standing watch on the walls of Mock's Hold. As he watches the approach of a message cutter, he reflects on the arrival of a Malazan man-of-war three days earlier. With hundreds of others, he had observed the Imperial official disembark. As he had been watching, he had remembered his own time aboard such imperial vessels. He had then seen cloaked figures exiting the ship who seemed all too familiar and had wondered if they were from Unta and possibly after him. He hears his superior Lieutenant Chase coming up the ramparts. Chase chastises him for not having turned, inferring that Temper had been unaware of his approach and he could have been one of her own. The mentioning of the Claw causes Temper to recall what he saw of them during the taking of Ubaryd when all over the palace they had found the Claw's victims. They had eventually reached the private chambers of the Holy Falah'd who was being subjected to the most horrific torture by the Claw. Dassem Ultor had rushed past Temper and Point to behead her and thus had put an end to her suffering. Returning to the present, Temper thinks that Chase after all only sees him in the role he has created for himself - that of an incompetent, broken-down soldier who never even made corporal. Now off duty, Temper joins a room of guards listening to yet another story of an engagement, this one against the Crimson Guard, told by Larkin. Temper confronts Larkin who is deliberately sitting on a cloak belonging to Temper and, after tensions rise, grips him by the wrists. During a short wrestle, Temper slices Larkin's arm with the man's own knife. Temper leaves the room, fearing he has brought bad luck upon himself as he has just seen drops of blood drip onto a set of Bones, hitting Soldier, Maiden, King, and Obelisk.
