Finally Asherah seemed to find peace with how to address Ragna. She didn't seem so awkward about it anymore, nor did she seem so afraid of offending Ragna.

I do not know, she said, sounding more sure of herself than she was. Eshamun will know. Selfishly, she wanted to rank among the women. She didn't want to be on the wrong side of a matriarchy.
