Jacob had found an elf that had taken a liking to him actually, and he actually started talking about using their magic to make a place. He actually seemed really happy with the subject. He also thought some of the female elves were very cute.
Talia and Fredrick had gone back to the Valentine Clan before Layla and Kurt had traveled to the next town. A small stop on the way to the border. They formally invited Kurt to their clan's home for a visit with Talia, and this was heavily implied to be an engagement, or a planning of one. Kurt was sort of worn down by Talia, because she was so seductive and attractive, but also so helpful and insightful on the actual ins and outs of ruling a Kingdom. It didn't seem very romantic, but did seem really fast. But you can always cancel engagements.
The towns started to blur together to Kurt. He was still at work making healing paste, and some fire coins, he would have to start thinking of ice and other things the goblins were weak at now.
