I shout up crossly at the chimp.

"When I see your family I'm going to tell them about your behaviour! Somebody of your age should know better!"

OOC: Ammu's seems unconcerned with how his loud shouting is interrupting the serious conversation going on between Kuublu and the old man.

"A new headman eh? I should visit him to 'show my respect'."

The long house isn't hard to find is it. Kuublu gestures at Mthunzi to release the old man.

Once the old man is safe on the ground, Mthunzi asks "Who are these people of whom you speak? Malim Oche and Headwoman Ngela?"

You have just returned from drills with your men when a servant indicates that there is someone waiting for you within.


“I have good news,” he tells you. “Your second cousin,

our family can muster. "

The old man seemed quite happy where he was but he didn't argue with Mthunzi as he was led down the tree to the ground.

The old man fixed Mthunzi with a look, " Kgosigadi Ngela is a great headwoman, she is kind to all of us. I heard that she is a cousin of a great King in the west, King Oblo or Ublo I think."

" Malim is the cousin of her husband, Kgosi Olmar. He is a bad man, he has always been jealous of his cousins good fortune to marry Kgosigadi Ngela and have mastery of Iintombi Intlambo."

" Kgosi Olmar left the other night, I do not know why. But as soon as he was gone Malim made his move."
