Locke wakes up in a bed in an abandoned villa. Jean is with him, as well as Ibelius, a dog-leech, or an unregistered doctor, who is working to heal him. Ibelius had a brother who worked for Capa Barsavi and who was murdered by Capa Raza, so they share a common enemy. Ibelius declares that Locke is extremely weak and needs to rest, to Locke’s chagrin. Jean tells Locke that he’s been unconscious for two days and two nights.
While Locke was unconscious, Jean went to the local Temple of Aza Guilla and used his knowledge of the order to pretend to be a priest from out of town named Tavrin Callas who lost his robes. The officiates at the temple took pity on him and gave him a robe and a mask. After telling Locke this, Jean explains that Capa Raza has taken charge of provisioning the Satisfaction, the plague ship that pulled into the Camorri harbor on the night Raza took over. Jean went to investigate the docks near the ship in his Aza Guilla attire and discovered that men were carrying bags full of coins onto the ship.
After Jean relates this, Locke desperately wants to leave Ibelius’s care and get to work, but both Jean and Ibelius tell him to stay.
