The Queen rsponds to KaMaBuA. "No. I didn't think to bring any. But, we can take care of that!"

The Queen calls loudly to the boy Cloch who plays nearby and instructs him to fetch her a skin of the sacred ishka. She then steps into the cool water and submerges her body. "Ahh." she sighs. "It has been so long since I could do this."

The two made small talk until the boy returned with the filled skin. The women share a couple of drinks then the Queen becomes more serious.

"KaMaBuA, I think it is time we make a trip to The Valley of Trade."

KaMaBuA's eyes glitter in anticipation.

The Queen continues, "While walking about this morning, I see the people have been industrious. We have many pelts, pottery and dried food with which to trade."

KaMaBuA nods in agreement.

"I suspect," began the Queen, "that we could use some new weapons and it would be good to have some more horses to add to our present blood lines. What do you think, Captain?"
