Lawrence meets Amati in a bar, where the latter declares that he intends to settle Holo's debt of 1,000 Trenni silver coins and marry her. Lawrence accepts the challenge and sets the payment deadline for the following evening. Mr. Batos warns Lawrence that Amati might actually be able to procure the money.

Back with Holo, Lawrence and Holo discuss the situation, with Lawrence convinced that she will stay with him regardless of the debt. They visit Marc, who estimates Amati's wealth at around 800 Trenni silver coins. Lawrence decides to leverage all his connections to win.

During the Kumerson festival, Lawrence and Holo enjoy a brief respite and take part in the festivities. Tensions rise when Batos delivers a letter from the chronicler Diana, upsetting Holo as Lawrence receives mail from another woman.

Lawrence visits Marc again and learns that Amati deals in pyrite, which is highly popular among the women of Kumerson. Marc lends Lawrence some pyrite but warns him that Amati might still secure the necessary funds.

Back at the inn, Lawrence discovers that Holo has read Diana's letter, which contains information about Yoitsu that Lawrence had not shared with her. This leads to an emotional confrontation, in which Holo questions their relationship and even suggests bearing Lawrence's child out of fear of loneliness.
