Upon return to Weftwell, the afterdark festivities are in full swing.

They enjoy the fête, with the exception of Felicity, who flees as soon as possible. Tabitha seeks out gossip and new friends, whilst Lucian forms connections with the weaving trade. Simon corners the rogue dealer who sold him a ragdoll and a bull story about its powers. He gets his money back and ceases the man's permanent personal raincloud. Verro chats to Brother Miller, whom he has identified as refreshingly sane.

In Acryn, Tabitha, Felicity, Alexander and Verro go to the Tender church and are examined. They are invited to one of the blessing ceremonies where they are rid of their dermatological issue. Verro opts to pay for surgery instead, whilst Simon brews a consumption ritual to give his blood fungicidal properties. Tabitha and Alexander go on a tour of Acryn.

Lucian spills volumes of information to the Wayfinders' Guild, including divulging Brother Miller's role. He pushes for further investigation and action at next year's midsummer fête, which the Guild notes down and noncommittal says they might do something about it if they aren't too busy at the time. Lucian also leverages many notable citizens into wearing Weftwell cloth, keeping his end of the bargain.

Simon goes unchallenged for the ownership of the Mesmirror and goes happily on his way.
