What's the worst thing that can happen?" Tyrus said. "The dungeons. That's not so bad. I heard they're relatively nice in the springtime. Not too cold. Not too damp. They'd be quiet and peaceful." Tyrus looked at Gavril. "Tell me I can do this.""Why? There's no doubt you can. The question is simply whether you'll survive it.""Thank you. Thank you so much.""We have not heard that your father has reinstituted capital punishment. Of course, we haven't heard news from the city in many days.""You are not helping.
Tyrus expresses a somewhat nonchalant view of the potential consequences he might face, suggesting that the dungeons aren't so bad, especially in spring when they can be quite pleasant. He turns to Gavril for reassurance, eager to pursue his venture despite the risks involved.
Gavril acknowledges Tyrus's capabilities but reminds him that survival is the key concern. Tyrus appreciates this support but is clearly anxious, especially given the uncertainty regarding his father's stance on severe punishments, emphasizing the lack of recent news from the city adds to the tension of their situation.
