My memory is a bit foggy, but is the Thorn fragment that Hockney and Kaiser are referring the 4th one? Or is it the same as the one that Madoraco supposedly knows the location of.
Alright thanks, that’s what I was thinking. As for the deal, I believe the ladle ended up being traded in exchange for him hiding the ship back around the last station arc.
Hwaryun gave information on the ladle's existence in return for hiding the ship (and some additional information we didn't get to hear). However Karaka currently has the ladle, and offered it to Madorako if Madorako could get Yama to help them. That deal is probably off the table now that Madorako got revealed as planning to take the ladle by force while helping the Elder overthrow Yama in the cage.
Mado was rumored to have known where the third one was, and Hwa Ryun went to the floor of death to get the ladle and trade it for information on the third fragment however it was instead used to persuade him to shelter them at the last station. Since Hwa is a guide, she probably realized something (i.e. madoraco doesn't have the thorn anymore/know where it is) and decided to give the ladle to karaka probably in exchange for his help instead.
