- Hubert talks about finding a way to win the admiration of men and women—perhaps tracking a lion down for the king will do the trick. But Rannulf corrects him, saying that women are corrupt and he is lucky to have avoided contact with them.
- Edmund knows that many Christian soldiers agree with Rannulf, but he can't help but think of Elvira fondly.
- Riders on camels approach and the army tenses up. Edmund is scared because he's heard horrible things about these camel creatures, but Rannulf assures him that they aren't dangerous. However their riders are, and he orders Edmund to help them kill.
