Summary
“Shaleän is an… awkward question for the Corat' Dav Arhos,” said Csevet slowly. “And we gather she is not much discussed in noble society… in public noble society, that is. But she is something of a folk figure to those who live on the coast, and they call her the arh’avar, the water-duke. She scandalises, to be sure— she has a wife stowed away in Solunee-over-the-Water, so it’s said— but many of the avarsin pay her huge sums to see their shipments safely across the Chadavean Sea, to smuggle valuables, or sometimes even to conduct raids on rivals’ ships. It has long been suspected that her father pays her great sums to feed him information and safeguard his ships. The Great Avar, we suspect, would not be as rich as he is without Shaleän Sevraseched. So her acknowledgement was generally considered to be long overdue, and we do agree with the Zhasan— we think he means efficiency, and personal investment, in his sending of her.”
(The Great Avar's definition of a 'trade negotiator' is possibly a little loose... so it's just as well that Shaleän is only sort of meant to be doing that.)

Summary
"No doubt thou didst melt the seal open on the steam vents to read the business of thy betters, planned how thou wouldst ingratiate thyself with the Archduke— oh yes, we know thy tricks…”
Not the steam vents, thinks Csevet. It would wet the paper. The hot pipes, yes— but not the vents. He would only use a steam vent if he wanted to bleed the ink onto the external sheet and claim inclement weather, and that almost never can be gotten away with inside the court.
Captain Orthema is saying Lord Chavar, leave Mer Aisava, but Csevet knows Chavar will not move for love or money now, not until he has said his piece.

Bookmarker's Notes
But Edrehasivar is not that sort. He acts through inaction. He says, we see, one of his favoured nothing-said phrases, and Csevet has learned to understand it as a red flag; he will remember this, he will think of it when he sees you again, he will take it as a lesson.

Summary
"Say, Alhaitham," Kaveh says, swirling the wine in his glass. "You're a graduate of the Haravatat. How would you define love?"
"There are many types of love," Alhaitham replies. "Parents love their children. Lord Kusanali loves Sumeru. You love drinking yourself into a stupor. To which kind do you refer?"
"Romance, Alhaitham," Kaveh says. "What else would I mean?"
"How would I know what you mean without you telling me?"
Or: the author read a fic where Hanahaki was described as a manifestation of the Withering and thought "I can make this way worse"
