Rysn prepares for an audit of the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]], where she now works. Her pet [[Larkin]], Chiri-Chiri, wants to feed off of her diamond mark, but Rysn needs it for light. A porter knocks, admitting Vstim, who has accepted an appointment as Queen Fen's minister of trade. Chiri-Chiri is suspicious of him, so he pulls out a ruby that she can feed on. She sucks in the Stormlight and nestles in the pot of Shin grass. Vstim has heard from her boss that she is unhappy. He offers her the captain's cord to ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|The Wandersail]]'', an expensive and majestic frigate. She hesitates at accepting such a grand gift, and he urges her to at least just consider it for now. He reveals that he is doing this audit personally. He has always wanted to visit the vault.
Rysn enters her combination to the first door, then they pass two more doors that are opened by guards, one of whom is unfamiliar to her. Rysn is taken through to an alcove that Fladm is waiting in, and she's transferred to a palanquin that Tlik and another guard carry her in, to her embarrassment. Chiri-Chiri follows her into the main vault. The vault is full of gemstones, but it is dark; they are traded on ledgers, backed by the confidence that the reserve is safe and intact. Rysn gives Vstim a key, and he unlocks Vault Thirteen, the queen's own vault. This closet-sized vault is full of light, much of it coming from a giant ruby, the [[King's Drop]].
