I need to learn how to make maps. Big maps—I know how to do towns and short distances between roads, but that's not big enough. And I want to know about trading ships. How far do they sail? Do their captains take passengers?
[ She rattles off her list of questions with no explanation, because don't these sound like any reasonable questions no matter why she's asking them? Katsa opens her mouth to say something else, stops, frowns, and then starts again with less of a demand in her voice. This is far more awkward for her, something she's unused to asking or even desiring, and so it's the more difficult request. ]
And... I don't wish to continue training on my own. I don't mean in magic. I've plenty of help. And I don't mean that I need teachers. I need someone who can challenge my Grace. Who can push me so that I don't stop becoming faster and stronger, as far as I can.

Katsa. [The times before where he had called her name as a way to keep her from panicking, a reminder that he was still here when she felt as if she were to fall apart- this is not one of them. There is no kindness in his tone, no gentleness other than his own voice which is sharp and biting.
It serves not as him feeling threatened, but rather as danger. A warning.]
I told you about me, about the Assassins and the Templars, because I felt you deserved to know. You saw everything in Paris, saw how we worked to aid the people from corruption in where it lies. [His eyes are fierce, and not for an instant does he look away.] I thought you knew better than to say anything.
[Arno is more than upset; he's angry. Katsa has spoken about who he is without even a second thought, and to make matters worse, said it in a public space where others can see. She's not only endangered him, but endangered Élise as well.]
