		Scathach may not be quite the manipulator Medb was (mostly because she'd usually TELL you straight out when she was manipulating you), but she always had her own agenda, and rarely let you know what it was.
		Scathach is one of the few people on either island who already spoke the tongue of the invaders, and she tries teaching you a few Latin words as well.
		Scathach is as non-committal here as she always is. Tanethlon is a moderate voice, apparently willing to consider opposing the Romans, but not interested in any kind of brash plan.
