Proceed with caution.

Graham brings a weathered looking Kote a mounting board that he had ordered some 4 months previously. Made from wood that won’t burn, it costs him two silver talents. The near black of the mounting board reads “Folly” underneath. Bast is decidedly unhappy about the sword being showcased openly but plays along for his master, Kote. The blade is, though unmarred, old and of a decidedly unique shape.

A travelling party stops at the inn bringing with them a Tinker who sets up shop in front of the inn selling his various oddments. Kote is nearly exposed to be Kvothe by one of the travellers who admits to listening to him perform at Imre once. With some deft manoeuvring he manages to diffuse the situation.

The next morning, Kote visits with Caleb, the blacksmith, looking for a sturdy piece of iron and a spare pair of forge gloves. He tells the smith that he intends to plant an orchard in the empty space behind the inn.
