"I've learned lots of things," Trinket said. "I learned how to kill. And how to use an axe to carve wood and split the skulls of my enemies. And about new birds in the Celestine."
But she didn't want to talk about such things. She'd already learned them, and talking about things she already knew was boring. She wanted to see new things.
"Do you think that man almost died?" Trinket asked, looking at the man who'd taken the blow to the head. He was back in his wagon now, getting ready to head off, likely to go rest after the injury and chaos he'd been through this day. "It would have been interesting to see him die. I've never seen anyone die before."
She looked around, scanning the crowd. She wondered if any of them might die today. It didn't look that way, but she was curious to see what that would be like.
A thought occurred to her. "Where do the healers take people who are hurt too badly to save? We should go there."
