A friend? [ That’s curious. Katsa’s repetition is obviously a question, though she continues speaking without waiting for an answer. ]

I only usually teach young girls because in my seven kingdoms those are the people who need it most: those who need the opportunities to hone their own strengths as much as any boy or man, or aren’t already married into a situation in which they choose then to rely on their husbands or brothers for safety. I know it isn’t the same here, that women are at that sort of disadvantage, and all I care is that those who need it have the training they desire. Everyone deserves to be able to look after themselves.

So—I’d be glad to continue teaching you.
