Ko'tanza smiled and, for a moment, seemed like she wanted to move, but the presence of her daughter in her arms kept her in place. "Oh, Sabine, if Ko'tanza could hug you right now, she would!" 

Even Ko'tanza's somewhat louder voice prompted a few cries from Miruza, but she was able give her enough attention to calm her, for the moment. When Ko'tanza finally resumed, she spoke with a much more even tone, but still with the same amount of excitement in her eyes. "Thinking on it, this thinks it does make sense that only a scholar could keep a mind like yours interested. Khajiit partially expected you to still be with Pieter, honestly. She remembers you two being so close way back then. But, she supposes it has been many years since then; a lot can change in all that time. We have all probably become different people, in many ways."
