>>6083736>>6083848>>6083944>>6083981You decided to visit the tomb of an ancient unnamed queen, Captain Crumbling, Brother Louis and some soldiers coming with you while Becky and Bohémond remained behind for God knows what. But hey, they loved eachother. It was cold outside and you mounted your brown palfrey while Rose was on her white horse. You rode swiftly, not wanting to take several hours in the cold and the light rain of the morning. Fortunately once the afternoon came you were able to enjoy some conversation. You asked captain Crumbling.
-Dear Captain, tell us more about this tomb, I ignored that we had monarchs here...
-Oh, it is the tomb of the wife of a petty king, a most unusual one. Primitives that lived there, barbarians, were buried with their wives and servants who were killed when they died.
Rose murmured "charming" while you told "such barbarity". Brother Louis added.
-Typical Indian custom, I have heard of it.
Captain Crumbling continued.
-You know, my lord. Here it is unusual because the king seemed to like his queen very much and she died before him, so he buried her with some servants in a small barrow, and her cats too.
You were astonished.
-Cats ? Was she a witch ?
Rose found it funny.
-Buried with cats.. At least she was married... Not an old cat lady... I always feared to become this, I love cats too much.
You turned towards her, a bit surprised by the news.
-You use cats as pets ?
-Yes of course ? Why else would we keep them Charles ? Cats are adorable, absolutely cute, gracious, clean and they eat mice.
You liked her enthusiasm, but to tease them you explained.
-They are a strange choice of pet...
-You do not have cats in France ?
-Not often... Well we have hunting dogs or dogs, they are loyal companions.
-But they smell ! And they are not as.. Cuddly.
She tried to explain, well, of course, she used her hunting dogs to eat people so it must not be the same, you thought about more domestic animals, you hadn't much.
