Thread: Slaves of the house - Lingering Desire/Ryax

As Leyland was finished, his lunch partner had not even taken more then a few bites, already seeming full. A testimony to how little she had been fed with her last master. He figured this must be a pure feast for her in terms of food, living, luxury, the only thing that would be missing was to be free as well. He smiled a bit, find a relaxed sort of enjoyment in watching her eat, as slow as it was. The silence was overwhelming between them right now, until Leyland decided to break it and take the time to let her know some of the rules in the house. You know, it's only common courtesy to talk about something, anything really when you're having lunch with another person., he said in a lighthearted manner with a sly smile directed at her. But since you're new here, I'll that pass for now., he said kindly now with more of a friendly and joyous smile. I guess it's my job to tell you the rules then. Only natural that you wouldn't know them from the get-go, every house has different rules. So let's start with the first and most important one A Master's word is law. This can't be denied or broken in any way unless specifically ordered so by a higher ranking Master. It might seem obvious, but it's worth repeating never the less. Second Treat your fellow companions and slaves with respect and like you want to be treated yourself. We all try to take the best care of each other as we can in every way possible. We have a good place, and we want to keep it that way. If there is any problem, feel free to take that up with anyone and they will be able to help you in one way or the other. Then we have the last of the three big ones, but not the least No one may get pregnant and keep their child, unless given absolute clearance to do so., he rambled up the largely necessary laws in a firm manner. Shortly after, he looked over across the dining hall at the clock situated on the wall, silently ticking away as time passed. As lovely as this was, I'm afraid I must leave you for a bit, I have Master business to attend to. Don't fret however, you know the way back to your room if that's where you want to go, but I strongly suggest that you try to make a friend or two before the day is over., he said softly, a light sadness in his voice over the fact that he had to leave her already. He felt himself strangely drawn to her, enjoying her company even if it was in silence. Oh, before I take my leave, I want to meet you again by ten tonight. Meet me at the small patch of grass we just were at. Also, bring two questions, or maybe even three, that you feel that you want to ask me. It can be any question about anything, and I'll try to give you my best and most honest answers., he demanded lightly, a hint of softness in his voice before he parted with a smile and left to attend to some things for Gerland. While away, he tended to his Master's requests for flight booking and purchasing so that Gerland could go away for a while in a few days. He always did things like this and was usually back after a couple of days. Gerland was going to Paris, attending an auction for antiques and other rarities like slaves. Little did he know that he himself would become the Master of the Master's and own everything left behind by Gerland, well, not everything, but much, at least everything regarding the house and ownership of the 'collection'.
