- Sadima and Franklin talk about the latest copies that Somiss is obsessing over. Since they can't read the Gypsy script yet, Somiss is having Franklin use different colored inks in the hopes that marking the most frequently-occurring characters will help them figure out which ones are vowels.
- Sadima offers to help Franklin with the copies, and then Somiss bursts in and is all cranky; he tells Sadima to keep copying, even though she's already done her share.
- He also tells her to never go out on the balcony, because someone might see her and associate her with him.
- Oh, and she has to cut her hair because it's too distinctive (being red and all).
