DAYA: Knight, swear to me that you will make her yours; Make both her present and eternal welfare. Listen. She is a Christian, and no child Of Nathan's.

TEMPLAR: Are you sure of what you say?

DAYA: It cost me tears of blood. She does not know She is a Christian born.

TEMPLAR: And Nathan reared Her in this error, and persists in it? Oh, it confounds me--go; and let me think.
