After Kote mounts his sword above the bar, travellers passing through the town stop at The Waystone Inn. The group of travellers includes a tinker. While hawking his goods children dance singing about The Chandrian. Kote partakes in the revelry in the inn singing many verses of 'Tinker Tanner.' Once the guests leave a despondent Kote walks across the street to the open door of the smithy. Kote and Caleb talk about Orisson's sheep. Kote buys a two foot iron rod from Caleb, and also gets a smithy's leather apron and heavy gloves.
