A notice on Ravnica's planeswalker-only board asks discreetly for copper. Huatli answers, and the exchange with a correspondent signing as R becomes playful and personal. Trade opens a conversation about craft, travel and the lives they hope to build.
On her way to the meeting, Huatli encounters Saheeli and nearly admits her feelings. She hurries on because she has promised to meet someone else. In the tavern, Saheeli arrives too: the initial stands for Rai, and neither had recognised the other through the notes.
The connection is freely discovered, not imposed by someone promising to remove uncertainty. Their shared embarrassment becomes pleasure, and they leave together for another plane. This earlier episode belongs here as a contrast: intimacy can join lives without making those lives interchangeable.
