“I didn‘t attack all four of the rai- I mean Paikans. The stories are wrong.”
“Of course they are, they‘re always wrong. Stories are for the listener Tana, and it is what the listener makes of them that truly matters. The captured men who saw you attack the Paikans, they told us they found their courage. If one woman could attack four horsemen then they could do the same. For two days and two nights they plotted and then finally attacked.”
