Moorish poetry is very simple and clear. [She says it as though she admires these traits.] Do you know they even made songs about my mother?

She must have been a great woman.

Oh, the Moors make songs of anything. But she was indeed great. She is an example.

I don't think it takes away from it. Her song will be remembered. So will she.

Is that the point of doing something, to be remembered for it?

No. The point of doing it is that God has willed her to.

I see.

[Nope, not arguing this point with you today, Katherine. He's too stressed.]

She was their enemy, but they gave her respect as a queen and formidable warrior.

Then they weren't very good enemies.

[A shrug.]

They were defeated, of course. But they had a certain honor.

Do you ever talk of anything but war and your mothers accomplishments?

What do you wish to speak with me about?

[Actually, he'd prefer talking about those things.]

If I brought you the wool, could you make something for me?

[She wouldn't.]

Yes, I suppose that would be fair. For the winter. [And mostly because she kinda likes you, which means she won't be picky about ew, doing work for someone.]
