Summary
Charlier looked at Marsh like he was insane. “The Tekiels are hosting a ball this week to celebrate the anniversary,” Marsh explained. “Nearly every noble in Luthadel is invited. With that many people milling about, it’ll be easy to slip away to search Lord Tekiel’s study.”
“Are you insane?” Charlier said, apparently wanting to confirm his suspicion. “Nearly every noble, yes, but they were invited! Even if I had the resources to forge an invitation, they would see I’m not on the guest list! And even if I did get in, do you seriously believe I would be able to sneak into Lord Tekiel’s study undetected?”
“No,” Marsh said. “But you don’t have to. I was invited. I’ll go.”
Charlier’s mouth closed with a snap. “I can’t ask you to do that,” he said after a moment.
“Then it’s a good thing I’m going to do it regardless.”
An infiltration was the last task Marsh took on for the rebellion - and as it happens, it was also the first.

Summary
“I will be able to assist the kandra after they regain their spikes. All I need is for you to get them started on the process.” Sazed turned to face him. “Thank you, my friend. I shall be around if you have need of me.”
With that, he disappeared, leaving a faint afterimage in Marsh’s vision that quickly faded.
Marsh took a deep breath, trying to clear his tired mind. The air was so fresh and clean that it hurt his lungs. He held that breath for a moment, savoring the burn of it, before launching off the hillside in a pewter-fueled leap.

Sazed needs someone to return the kandra’s spikes in order to restore their sentience. Marsh agrees to help.

Summary
Darlington pursed his lips. “I never said I felt bad.”
“You didn’t have to.” Alex rapped her fingers against the dashboard. “Are we going to go somewhere or just sit out here and sulk?”
“Implying that you’d sulk with me.”
“I could give your misery some company. It’s better than watching Tripp’s brain melt out of his ears.”
Darlington fished his keys out of his pocket and put them in the ignition. “For the record, I’m not sulking,” he said as the car came to life. “I didn’t want to waste my time entertaining inane questions.”
There was a time when Alex would have needled him over that. She felt the urge to do so now. That need was overcome by the glimmer in Darlington’s eyes, the silent request to change the subject. So she smirked, hoping the gesture looked less uncomfortable than his earlier smile had, and said, “Yeah. Better to waste your time doing something fun instead.”
*
Or; Darlington has a bad day. Alex tries to help, in her own way.
