A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years of mere study of books.
Zane had gone through a lot in the Cathedral but even after all that, he didn't forget the promise he made to a mother.
Herring's mother.
The gutterborn whom Zane hadn't seen after awakening his skills but wanted to.
He couldn't find the boy anywhere so he asked the man who would know for sure.
He asked the Emberlord himself.
Conversation was his only way.
"Where is Herring Redd?"
Not many people knew whom Zane was talking about.
Not Xavier, Tesla, Hena, anyone.
Only two people knew.
Zane and Jammy.
Jammy was right there when Zane had met Herring's mother for the first time in the Cinder Row slums.
Zane hoped the Emberlord knew about him too.
But the godman frowned and asked:
"Who?"
Zane didn't give up.
"He is a gutterborn. He had awakened one Ember skill and five knights had taken him away. Remember?"
Coin's frown vanished.
