Summary
Admiral Havelock and Lord Pendleton would pay her no mind as she buzzed quietly about the bar with a broom. They’d stretch out blueprints, waving over bottles of wine and speaking of equality and politics, failing to see the lines of disgust cut around Corvo’s grim mouth. Across from Havelock’s rigid shoulders and Pendleton’s oily tones, Corvo hulked in his gold-trimmed coat like a Serkonan dock worker, steely-eyed at Pendleton’s wistful nostalgia for more civilised times. Cecelia’s calloused fingers tightened on the broom handle. A splinter dug into her palm.
Yes, she was sure of it: Corvo was the only man at the Hound Pits she could trust.

after the storm, cecelia is left to clean up the debris.

Summary
Everyone needs a little comfort sometimes.
He can just make her out, standing beside his bed. A thin slat of moonlight finds its way into the room. She’s illuminated, pale as a ghost, wearing a patchwork night dress.
She’s been crying. Crying, alone in the dark.

Summary
The Hound Pits occupies a weird space in everyone's lives. Intended to be a stepping stone to better times, eventually, but they're still here in the present. And here in the present, dishes still need to be cleaned, and socks still need to be darned, and nightmares still need to be tamed.
