"Greetings, Master," Priault said. Most modern people had trouble with Lofwyr’s preferred title. Even the most pitiful wretch from the Barrens of Seattle or post-war Europe believed they were above calling anyone "master," but Priault managed the term quite well without becoming utterly servile in the process. It was one of the reasons Lofwyr liked the human and chose him to represent Saeder-Krupp on the Corporate Court : Priault was a good leader because he was such a capable follower. Lofwyr wished all humans were more like him.
