Egeanin is at the Garden of Silver Breezes waiting for a report by Floran Gelb. Gelb delivers an a'dam he found, his third one. Once Gelb kidnapped a suspected sul'dam but he was incorrect and Egeanin had to have the lady shipped across the ocean. She sees a Sea Folk raker enter the harbor, probably the Wavedancer. As she gets up to leave she spots Bayle Domon and decides to wait for him to leave so he won't spot her. As she is leaving she sees Jaichim Carridin entering. She returns to her residence in a palanquin surrounded by guards.
