;Plot Summary
Waking up, hanging upside down from the ceiling, John finds himself confronted by the young man and woman he was attacked by. The woman who is called Sefawynn, tries to use poetry against him to nullify his powers, believing him to be an [[aelv]]. She sends Wyrm, her brother the young man, to grab the lord of the village. John unsuccessfully tries to talk to Sefawynn, and instead pulls up a visual overlay display to see information about his augments. The lord arrives with Wyrm, and the three discuss John, believing him to be an aelv as he took one of the offerings (the page from The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England). John tries to convince them to let him go, and learns that the two visitors in the town are not looking for him as he thought. The two men leave and Sefawynn claims to know what John is.

She accepts one guard to come with her and John finds more of the pages of the handbook.

Sefawynn does not immediately understand what he is claiming to be, nor know what magic is. He tells her he is a wise man, and she thinks he is Waelish. She does not believe him, even when he changes his arm red, claiming all his augments are actually just tricks she has seen before, though not understanding quite how he swapped her brothers knife to avoid being stabbed. He eventually convinces her to let him come and help get her brother, and changes his arm back to normal which does impress her. He decides to go by the name Runian, and continues pretending to be an aelv in front of Ealstan. Sefawynn then learns the guard joining them is Ealstan himself and after some convincing, Sefawynn relents and they head off after Ulric.
