2. What her tattoos signified. Nekarb had already told her a little about them, but perhaps she could learn more.
3. About her own status. Some things, like this meal and the way that he addressed her, made it seem like she was his guest. Others, like the tattoos and her lack of clothes, made it seem that she was something closer to a slave.
