Transcript

 * [In an attic, two raven sit in the wooden beams. Glasses containing different fragments of humanoid flesh stand on shelves. An Adonis jars a chin, then moves over to a mirror and undresses to look at himself narcissistically. Cahir enters the room.]
 * the Adonis: Love surprises. Love visitors. A surprise visitor all the more.
 * Cahir: I've had eyes on you for a while.
 * the Adonis: We're very flattered. But who is this secret peeper peeping all our secrets?
 * Cahir: I know who you are. [He holds up a coin and the doppler recoils.] What you are. You're different to other dopplers. You're not good-natured or helpful, are you?
 * the Adonis: And yet you are here for our help. Do you not have errand boys where you come from?
 * Cahir: They lacked your valuable set of skills. [holding out a money pouch] Don't worry. It's not silver. [He tosses it onto the table.]
 * the Adonis: We fancy our freedom. it is not money we thirst for, per se.
 * Cahir: There is plenty that you do thirst for. Assassination on behalf of the Kingdom of Nilfgaard. Or perhaps another eye or ear to round out your artful composition.
 * the Adonis: [turns to look into the mirror] We'd planned on wearing this one for a while. But we are flexible.
