which, in itself, is not that stupid
Setanta is not exactly curious about everything. But he sure is curious about SOME things. Including : the Hero's Salmon Leap, the Youth of Emain Macha, the Red Branch knights,... quite anything that has to do with fighting, one might say. Ah.... Iron Age kids... And his mother Dechtire, for her own part, never denies herself the pleasure of a little monologue.
Dechtirethe time has not come for you to go little one !
DechtireFirst, one does not just decide and go to Emain Macha
Dechtireit's a three days journey, even for the fastest of walkers
DechtireSecond, there is SLIAB FUAT right in the path between Murthemne and Emain Macha, and believe me, you don't want go there at your age
Boy 1especially not on a Samaïn night
Dechtirenot by night,... even less so on a Samaïn night
DechtireThird, those boys may be young, still they are your ELDERS
Dechtiresome amongst them are twice your age
DechtireIf you do not require their protection first, they'll beat you up, just to teach you !
Dechtireand Fourth, you wont go there before a warrior of Ulster vouches for you and your obedience, which might take some time
Dechtireking Conchobar will not allow... THIS
Setantamother, I have an idea
Setantathe king being your brother and all, I wont need any sort of vouching and I'll obey him of course.
