Mwikali is able to find a band of her Kunari tribe staying in Marrakech. They are pleased to meet a hero of their tribe, and honor her with blessings and small gifts of ivory, spices, and ochre. They report to her their visit to Safi and interactions with the Portuguese there...
Kunari to Mwikali: Though their Prince first greeted us politely, the Portuguese soldiers later inquired whether we were slaves or free men and women, and what the going prices were for Kunari slaves in the Arab markets... It was as if they were appraising us, my lady! It felt very uncomfortable... I do not think these Portuguese will be good neighbors for long... The Tiger told us your plan for a free Africa, Lady Mwikali... But I am not so certain these Portuguese plan to honor that vision any better than the Arabs!
