Mk 6:24a ... And having-gone-out she-said to-the mother of-her, ... "For-what should-I-ask"?

Verse 24 has 4 phrases and 16 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases have these 6 narrator and 2 dialog words the young girl said to her mother, ... Kai ekselthousa eipen tē mētri autēs, ... Ti aitēsōmai (And having-gone-out she-said to-the mother of-her, ... "For-what should-I-ask")?

The 6 narrator words from the first phrase are bottom up tangent to the mother. The two dialog words "Ti aitēsōmai" (For what should I ask) are top down tangent to the mouth of the maiden. Herod's step-daughter leaves the banquet hall to ask her mother the queen what to ask for. Perhaps the triangle holding the question will be filled with what her mother wants?
