Wilem and Simmon drag Kvothe from the Stacks and to the Eolian. After an hour, Denna appears with a bottle, whispering to the boys to act as if she is late to their meeting. They play along, especially after they notice her suitor watching, and the four play cards while they wait for him to leave. Denna asks about magic, but the three boys are hesitant to show her anything because of University rules and the wrath of the local constable. She offers to buy them a very expensive bottle of wine in exchange. The boys explain sympathy, the process of creating a bond between different objects and the Alar thought process that enables them. They also share the dangers of sympathy like malfeasance, or using someone’s blood to manipulate them, and overexertion, which causes negative effects on the caster. Kvothe shows off his magical ability. True to her word, Denna buys them the wine and tells Wilem and Simmon about two women who have been watching them before she leaves with Kvothe.
