Instead of taking Holo to the festival as planned, Lawrence is taken by fellow merchant Gi Batos to meet Dian "Diana" Rubens, a chronicler, to learn more about Yoitsu. She tells Lawrence of a legend about the moon-hunting bear that destroyed Yoitsu and also of a large wolf near the town of Lenos who called herself Holo of Yoitsu. Later when sharing a drink with Marc, Lawrence becomes jealous of Amarti, fearing he may be trying to steal Holo away from him. When they both return to the inn, Holo reveals how she lied to Amarti, telling him she travels with Lawrence because she owes him a large debt. She also recounts how Amarti and a crowd of other festival-goers haggled over pieces of pyrite, greatly inflating their price. Marc Cole's apprentice suddenly arrives at the inn and tells Lawrence something, prompting Lawrence to alarmingly sprint out of the inn.
