Summary
“You overworked yourself again,” Dan Feng says, voice low with familiar displeasure.
He attempts to wriggle, just a little, but the tail holding his waist in place does not let up. “I’m sorry,” Yingxing says, to no avail. Dan Feng squeezes his wrists tighter than before.
Or, Yingxing disappears into his workshop for almost two days. This time, he emerges with a gift.

Summary
“Any challenge is a worthwhile endeavor,” Varka replies. “But if you’re worried about being fair or giving me a handicap…” Flins certainly hadn’t said that, but now he’s curious, and he grows more curious as Varka withdraws a scrap of fabric from one pocket. “Play blindfolded.”
The challenge whets Flins’s appetite. He isn’t the kind of fae who exults in games of chance but rather ones of wit and strategy, and he was fond of collecting intelligent men like glittering baubles at the Belyi Tsar’s court. “If I am to handicap myself, then I should receive a greater reward if I win, don’t you think?” he asks, the words out of his mouth before he can help them, for he, like all fae, loves a bargain.
When a bad storm strands Varka at Flins's lighthouse, the two play chess to pass the time. After beating Varka twice, Flins agrees to play with a blindfold, provided the loser owe the winner a boon.

“What’s on your mind this time?” he asks.
That Varka will go with the rising of the sun, that Flins is not canny enough to keep him. “The way your voice sounds right now.”
Varka rumbles with laughter. “My voice is it?” he asks, turning his head to press his lips to Flins’s ear. “And what, exactly, do you like about my voice?”
In the small hours before dawn, Varka attempts to trap Flins with a riddle he can't solve.

Summary
“When I first arrived and investigated the room myself, it was several inches larger.”
A smirk pulls across Aventurine’s face. “That’s what all the boys tell me.”
Ratio’s expression turns severe. “The room, gambler. It’s getting smaller. I estimate that it’s closing in at about six inches per minute, giving us perhaps an hour’s worth of time before the walls close in entirely,” Ratio says.
Aventurine and Ratio find themselves trapped in a shrinking room inside the Dreamscape, an inscrutable riddle about baring their souls their only clue for escape.
