Kati Evans and Hiram Aït El Fayoum meet and introduce themselves, with Kati noting she is cold due to the weather. Hiram reveals he recently swore to the Home Stone again and has applied to become an Ambassador. He shares details of his past, including being born in Ar, his father's assassination, and having lost his two companions who either betrayed or abandoned him.
Kati, in turn, shares her own background, mentioning her parents ruled Rarn and that her mother died shortly after her birth. They discover a mutual, poignant connection: both are still searching for children they have lost. Hiram's former companion, Gaia, recently ended their contract and left him with an empty house, while Kati admits she has lived alone for most of her years.
The two find a bond in their shared experiences of loss and solitude. Hiram expresses his admiration for Kati's intelligence and courage, and Kati offers to show him the legal hall. Hiram agrees to accompany her, and the conversation concludes as they prepare to walk together.
