On their way through the city, Dacre is jealous over Nyra’s concern about Micah. He wrestles with the fact that he wants Nyra but doesn’t trust her. Still, he threatened to kill his father the night before if he ever hurt Nyra again. Dacre asks Nyra if Micah ever touched her, and she denies it. As they near the coast, Nyra asks Dacre if he ever thought about running away from the rebellion and sailing to a new life. Dacre admits that he never thought about it, but he also voices his doubts that the rebellion is a worthwhile cause.
They arrive at the coast, and Dacre trains Nyra with a bow and arrow. Nyra struggles to be calm as Dacre goads her. He tells her that she must find inner calm to have success with a bow. He then teases her flirtatiously, reminding her of their intimate encounter. She tells him not to come closer, and he dares her to stop him. He moves closer, telling her that he knows she wants him. As he lunges for the bow, she hits him with a blast of magical power that shocks both of them.
