Carrhae nodded.  It was strange that they were discussing Matt's late wife on
this, Carrhae's wedding day.  However, she understood that the older woman
wanted to honor her sister.  "I am sorry that I did not get to meet her."

She did feel the need to change the subject and lighten the mood. 
After taking
another sip of the fiery potable, she recalled an event that occurred shortly
after Ael came to Spacedock by asking, "How did you and Matthew come to be
sparring partners?"
Ael pulled the fastener from her long raven hair and shook her hair out with her hands, fluffing it a bit, and then pulling it straight.  A light chuckle escaped her throat.  "Matthew is a wonderful warrior.  He moves so differently from the Rihannsu, so his fighting style is so much different.  And he thinks differently, which makes for a much different style of defense and offense.  And," she looked a bit confused, but in an admiring way, "his weak little human body can withstand a tremendous amount of punishment.  He is the first human to hold his own against me in hand to hand combat."
