Genya: whats wrong with him? He´s been staring at the window since he came back form Ketterdam. He doesn't eat well, he doesn't sleep, he no longer smiles, he just rubs his hands over and over.
Zoya: He just said "i am fine, i just...need sometime" i want to give him his space but if he found out about something awful i think we must know
Tolya: i don't know what happened either, he was being Sturmhond , asked random questions to citizens and he disapeared . The next time i saw him he walked silently towards out ship, i think i saw a tear slowly running on his cheek
Jesper: Wylan , Sturmhond is knowing on our secret door!
Wylan: For saints sake! how many people did Kaz told about his secret tunnel?
Sturmhond: i came to make a very important survey, the future of Ravka depends on that , ejem: Who is more handsome: Captain Sturmhond or King Nikolai? Don't be afraid to say "the king" , i want you to be completely honest
Jesper: Well , the king doesn't have flying ships, so i´ll say Sturmhond
Sturmhond: Interesting, most people in Ravka say "Nikolai" and most people here say "Sturmhond" . What about you?
Wylan: i mean, it´s gonna be you by default
Sturmhond: Another for Stur-wait, "by default"?
Wylan: Yeah, this survey confusses me. However goes against King Nikolai would win
Sturmhond: You...are you saying he is ugly or something?
Wylan: But he has the ugliest hands i have ever seen. I mean, i can't see yours because of the gloves and you are hidding them on your back right now, but it can't be worse than the king´s. Is not the whole hand as much as the thumbs, they ruin everything else: Have you seen a man whose thumbs had been cut off?
Wylan: Well, the king´s hands are like if someone had took those cut parts and stuck them on his thumbs with tape, they don't have a shape and bend so weirdly ...you are not going to say that to him, right?
Sturmhond: of course not...that would completely destroy his soul
