[dana Tehani]

]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) cursed the womans keen eyes as she faked a bright smile and strode over"Greetings Lina! Who are your friends?"she asked innocent and wide eyed

[18:01]  dana Tehani glanced to Rik, she crossed her arms over her chest and irritatedly asked agaion, with a cough "Has anyone seen my free companion?!" she didnt wanna get his name wrong so referred to him as her FC
[18:01]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) proceeds swiftly once he realizes the outhouse is unoccupied. His right hand extends for the door handle and his body projects sideways. He snaps back into position once his hand is firmly closed on the handle. This, opening the door for him, helps him slide into the small space after taking off his hat with his left hand. He slams the door shut behind him.

[18:02]  Maeve (oliviana.firelight) wrinkles her nose upon catching Lina's gaze. She retreats to the relative safety of the empty Inn. A small hunger would edge her thoughts and she let her eyes wander the food prepared to cook...Would any miss the one wing of a vulo? she wondered....

[18:02]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) addressed the man with what she hoped was a vapid expression"Oh Sir you are a friend of Lina's man? It is soooo nice to meet someone from THAT side..well you know..what was his name again dear?"she addressed Lina then with a small curling of her lips

[18:04]  dana Tehani wrinkled her nose." He is not"! she waved a hand. "My companion is known other places..like not here.. outside.. of.." she stumbled then added "Here.. point is He is very rich and well known" she summed this up. "And I bet he is somewhere getting me flowers.. bless his soul" she tried to sound sincere but really, she dispied the man, she coughed. "Lady you forgot his name already?" she sighed dramatically "We.. as in me and him.. are very deeply offended!" she faked a frown

[18:06]  Nameless (rik.zero) waits for her to speak, then he says simply. "What's his name then." He states more than asks, having not once looked at, regarded, or even once acknowledged Morgan's presence. His gaze and words are locked solely on Lina, His body is still, a statue that is made of skin and muscle overlapped onto bone. Not even the wind dares to disturb an article of his clothing.

[18:06]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) had to hand it to the woman, she was very shrewd. Grinning a moment and then faking sympathy she said in a syrupy tone usually reserved for children"Oh of course..I heard how he was sooo in love with you, and so nervous about getting his vows correct that he drank a little too much at your ceremony. You're right. He's probbaly even now gathering flowers by the riverbank with his own two hands.."

[18:07]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) struggles with the longbow on his back. The outhouse, very small, allows for little comfort when it comes to remove it from his back. It ensues a long and perilous excercise over the pot hole, half way between a dance and a series of clunking ofthe wood agaisn't the dry walls of the small structure. Finally, he stops, victorious, by himself, alone, in the shadows, the bow off his back and in his hands. He takes a breath.

[18:08]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) eyes the man, standing so still and not even making any motion he had heard her question. Somehow, his manner gave her a shiver down her spine. Nameless but still present..

[18:09]  dana Tehani frowned at Nameless.. she was thinking, wart, waton.. wortan,. Wotan.. the possibilities endless. She cleared her throat. "Why yes.. the poor man couldnt hold himself together.. He is just so in love!" she said that way too arrogantly.. she nodded her head. "Yes!. I bet he is.. or knowing him, he is no cheapie on gifts. I bet he is getting me some nice fine jewellery.." she grinned at Morgan. "You know, things you wish you had but dont and never will." she sighed contently.. she had heard some noise, but couldnt tell what it is, lina looked aroundm, flound noth.. thankfully her nose was blocked due to her recent attempt of appearing sad, perhaps it was the overdone sniffles and fake tears. Lina looked at Nameless. "I Sir think its best for you to find out on your own.. I mean wy should I have to feed everything with a spoon here!" she looked around then mumbled an angry "Where is he!"

[18:12]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) tried to stifle a giggle as Lina was definitely getting worked up about something. She just wished she could figure out what"well, not everyone can be the style paragon you are..you'll have to tell me what you need from Ar next time I go. I bet Wort..what's his name would give you some coin for a nicer dress.."

[18:12]  Nameless (rik.zero) hears the ruckus in the outhouse and wonders if the man inside is going to make it. After the sounds subside he concludes the man has won the battle against some kur within the small outhouse, his attention still locked on Dana. When his voice sounds next he suddenly seems to loom over Dana, his eyes crystalizing into fine points that bore down into Lina's eyes with almost tryrannical precision. "What is his name." He says, and although the pitch nor tone of his voice hasn't changed, the volume has. His voice is positively booming. "You were asked a question, and you will respond."

[18:13]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) backs up instinctively hearing the mans flat expressionless tone and decides it is better to be..anywhere else. Making a hasty exit she manages"Tell your man I would just LOVE to chat sometime.."

[18:15]  dana Tehani gulped a bit.. darn it! what to name him, she wrinkled her nose and stood her ground, she eyed him again realizing the man wasnt kidding "You know he is very strong my FC" she stated, trying to intimdate him.. "Ermm but if you insist Sir.. its.. Wortan" she nodded her head, that sounded right and if its not then she can say Nameless has a bad hearing. "See? I have no problem telling you. I just wanted you to have fun discovering it by yourself. Sure, you dont know how he looks like..like a bit of detective work" she went on and on rambling, she made little sense but she did it anyway. She eyed Morgan "Oh he usually tends to speak with classier women.. I am sure. darling, you understand yes?" she gave a fake sympathy look

[18:17]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) wished she could banter a bit but that man gave her shivers and madeher cold everywhere"yes, well..um, I shall speak with you later"her body telling her to just run..so she walks quickly till out of sight then sprints towards the open ground and air, gulping in big breaths..

[18:18]  Persis Ishtari felt the pull of the leash and smiled happily, following her owner obediently ready to serve his next wishes, shivering more and more as they reached their home

[18:19]  Maeve (oliviana.firelight) sighs as she climbs the stairs to the safety of the upper level of the Inn. The emty inn could only hold her attention for so long, even if it did provide her with a couple sweet slices of Larma, occassionaly taking a nibble as she glanced down on the scene below her...

[18:20]  dana Tehani eyes widen as she saw her hired FC with HER slave. She tried to hold back she did.. but it came out "I been looking all over for you!" Lina glared at the slave, then to him realizing what he had done. She breathed in and out apparently trying to calm heself as she eyed Shik. "well.." she paused there, "I really am happy to see you" she faked a smile trying to make Nameless think she really was. She hated him, him her. "Yeah.. really" she said that a bit dryly

[18:22]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) walked across the village from the den and through the Inn, heading to his house, or the house of his companion, with Persis in tow. Then, as he was reaching the building, her noticed the Lady Lina was conversing with some unknown man, outside, in the middle of the street. He lifted his had to the man and turned to the Lady. "Glad to see you again too, my companion." he said to her in a dry tone and with a fake smile curling his lips and concealing a hint of embarrassment.

[18:23]  Nameless (rik.zero) 's voice is calm, secure, but cold as he speaks to her. "I tend to find that direct questioning works best." He states, then as he stands there he notes a few things that to him do not begin to add up. The noise in the outhouse has subsided completely, frankly, it was strange to him. He did not like strange, nor had he found reason for the man to have been acting as such. He is calm, as always, but he continues to stare at Dana. As the man comes up and he sees her experssion brighten, but it doesn't reach the eyes. "Interesting." He states, calmly. Slowly and surely the right side of his lip comes up in a smirk, and hearing how sahara like his response to her fake enthusiasm was more than enough to let him know that he was spot on in his evaluation.

[18:24]  dana Tehani adjusted her slightly messy hair, and eyed him. "Yes.. ever so great" that was also said dryly as she then eyed the slave. "You on the other hand, I rather see the face of a sleen" she knew Shik was using her, oh that made Lina mad, surely she didnt want him, but no way did she want her slave to be desirable. "I guess you owe me you know for using my slave" she said that bulntly to shik then remembered.. they are pretending Fced, she coughed "Its a joke.. a joke.. it is.. haha" she nodded her head "As though I would ever charge my freee companion.. good joke?" she asked Nameless a bit nervously..

[18:24]  Maeve (oliviana.firelight) chuckles a touch, seeing Lina seem not so together, stumbling over a name here, her reaction to the man and his girl. This day has proven entertaining after all she mirked to herself, taking another taste of larma...
[18:24]  Persis Ishtari kneeled down behind her Master seeing her Mistress, She had not been allowed to dress and she had no doubt her Mistress could look right through her and would know what she had been doing. She lowered her head deeply on her chest, her cheeks blushing all the way to her mastered breasts. Almost not able to speak, she whispered between her slightly swollen lips 'Greetings master and my Mistress'
[
[18:26]  Nameless (rik.zero) 's ice blue eyes wait until they catch Lina's, and from the tone of his voice he might as well have been telling her she was pure filth. "Hilarious." He coldly intones.

[18:31]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) narrowed his eyes slightly at the man with whom the Lady Lina was talking. He had the false calmness of the men of his own caste. However, he had never met him before. Perhaps this was all a pretense and the Lady Lina was right there talking to some lover of hers. He did not want to know. After all, their contract was only a weird sort of arrangement. "Pay you for using our pet, my companion?" he retorted sardonically, keeping to his role in front of the stranger. "I use our little slut, simply because this pleases me and she is quite attractive and pleasing… I could not say the same of other females around the village." he said looking at Lina intently, almost piercing her with his stare.

[18:33]  dana Tehani: Well I am often told I'm funny.. amongst other things" she took his tone seriously "like pretty, lovely, giving.. understaning.. loving caring.. and you know all the other stuff that goes along.. I am not the type to stand here and brag" she nodded her head to him after a line of self compliments, then gazed to Shik "Well maybe because somebody kept snoring all night and I couldnt sleep!! did you even consider to hush your loud shrill voice at night.. I am a quiet woman and I want peace!" she went off the handle now that the man would even dare try to call her ugly, she huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. " Besides.. she looks ugly!" she said of Persis.. "Like an ugly little urt,, she is ugly and I took her in because no body else wanted her" she lied. "Now Sir" she grinned evilly "Did I forget to tell you she was restricted.. as of this very moment" Lina said that evilly

[18:35]  Maeve (oliviana.firelight) watches intentlyt he scene playing out in front of her, nibbling contentedly on the larma slice. So much so she did not even register her Master's appearance until he was right behind her. She pushes the rest of the larma slice into her mouth before kneeling quickl, soreading her knees wide in a hopeful distraction "Thal My Masther..." she tries to speak around the fruit she has not yet finished swallowing

[18:37]  Nameless (rik.zero) voice is almost cutting with it's tone. "The two of you couldn't be more in love if you had blades buried in each other's back." He states calmly. For all of Lina's posturing, there was no possible way that he was going to get fooled by this. The man, Wotan, if that was even his name, was a fair enough actor saving that he couldn't probably tell Lina that he cared for her without gagging, but Lina herself would have the Caste of Performers reeling in horror at this sheer atrocity. Lina didn't even seem to understand that she wasn't just giving away that their companionship was a chirade, she was parading it in front of his face with banners and streamers flying.

[18:37]  Persis Ishtari just sat on the ground almost not daring to breath. persis knew by heart she would have to stay neutral in this situation, not having a clue whom would be the leader of this companionship in the end. naturally it should be her Master she woulld relay on, but...this was Lina. She was one of a kind and not to be taen lightly. Hearing her she just lowered even more, her back in the shape of the bananas she loved as she lived on earth, her eyes filling with water and starting to shiver again - this time not in extacy of the touch of her Master, but in fear of her Mistress

[18:41]  Maeve (oliviana.firelight) finished chewing and swallowed. She only now realizes that she had not seen her Master since her accidental sojourn to Sais, unaware if he even knew. her eyes searched his expression for any indication of displeasure or anger as she forced a smile on her face, attempting to act as if nothing had happened 'I've missed you My Master.." she breathes out

[18:45]  Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "Come..", he said, gesturing the slave to follow him down towards the inn, his eyescold as usual, his voice firm: "I require service."

[18:45]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) smiled at his alleged companion, and tugged the blond slave closer to him, petting her hair. "Oh Persis might be ugly. And I am ready to confess that you are the most beautiful woman in all Gor, my companion." he said almost cheerfully, trying to sound sincere. "But in that case, I also need to add that I have an extremely bad taste. I would even say, a taste absolutely contrary to the mainstream that you represent," he mumbled. "As for restrictions… Of course, she is retracted to her owners, that is to say you, Lina, and myself!" He looked at the man again, wondering what Lina was up to… "And you are?" he asked him, with a growing impression to see a brethren… "As you can see, the Lady Lina and myself just companioned, and we really get along like… tarsk and sleen… Well, tarsk and vulo… larl and sleen… Whatever." he chuckled. "In any case it is beautiful!" With his hand, he tried to reassure the slave who was kneeling next to him.
[18:46]  Maeve (oliviana.firelight) nods and moves quickly to remain close to his boot, sure only that he will order blackwine, but unsure of the rest of his intention

[18:48]  dana Tehani hadnt even bothered hearing the whole sentence of Nameless, she only got the part where he called them love birds, the rest of the time she was narrowing her eyes at Shik, tapping her foot.. she was no happy camper. She finally replied to Nameless "Yes.. we are.. love birds" she eyed Shik again, reminding him with her eyes He was hired. She hated that he didnt shower her with compliments, didnt llisten to her and disregarded her. How dare he! she had an angry expression on her face.. She softened up as Shik started spoeaking but not for too long as she began to regain the frown. "Yes you have bad taste in slaves" she pointed at Persis "Or that one of yours, the blonde ugly witch" she gave him a look of contempt. " Resitricted.. as in never maybe used by anyone.. even you!" she challenged him "She is my slave.. unless" her eyes twinkled "I can then do whatever I want to your slave... " she clicked her middle finger with her thumb then looked at Nameless.. "Well lookie Sir.. we have a slave for sale, she i s blonde, ugly useless.. cheap"

[18:52]  Nameless (rik.zero) 's lip falls back into it's proper place, and without a word he turns and walks towards the tavern. He stops on the way past Wotan, his head not moving, but his eyes meeting his for only a scant moment.

[18:52]  Persis Ishtari closed her eyes for a few seconds as she felt he pulled her closer, the soft furs of his cloak caressing and warming her skin as she looks up at him with her usual devotion. Suddently realizing Lina might see it, she lowers her gaze again as she draws small cirkles on her thigh with the nail of her finger, pretending she is all busy and not notesing anything. Still not able to not touch her Master, she leans closer to him, just an inch at the time, hoping lina will not see it, though she almosts sits under his cloak in the end. Hearing Lina again she gasped and looke up, her jaw tropped and her eyes finding her masters 'Noooo...please noooo my Mistress' She had to beg. 'oh please forgive me my Mistress but...but...but dont sell me please?'


[18:59]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) quirked an eyebrow, wondering if the Lady Lina was on purpose trying to appear like the non-loving couple of companions they were indeed supposed to conceal. He frowned at her and clenched his jaws. "We are love birds indeed!" he said, turning to the unknown man. "As for the slave, if she is your property, she is also mine by right, and likewise, all that is mine is yours also…" He took the old and slightly ragged Larl fur from his shoulders. "Here, this is yours, wear it!" he said. "And as for our slave… -my- slave here, is not for sale!" he growled. "If you need money, I will be all too happy to put a punishment collar on your throat and throw you to the paga den, Lina… I suppose you will manage to get a few tarsks from there… although, come to think of it, I doubt it!" he retorted angrily.

[19:01]  Nameless (rik.zero) has his back turned to the pair now, and though the situation is extremely entertaining he doesn't crack a smile. He makes his way into the tavern, heading for a seat
[19:03]  Petrov (alexandre.petrov) is now known as Alexandre Petrov.

[19:04]  Persis Ishtari hides behind her Master now, guessing she is in more danger of being killed soon, then then to be sold...on the other hand, knowing Lina she dodnt always ride the day she saddles...so Persis isnt really safe no matter what she does. Biting her lower lip she stays quiet, knowing she is helpless in their powers and scared to death too

[19:13]  dana Tehani wrinkled her nose at Shik. She couldnt hold it her anger.. her hatered to the man. She dispised the sight of him. She cleared her throat as he made such a rediculous offer. "Not even if I am about to die!" she stated, giving him a disgusted look. "How dare you treat your companion like that! how dare you!" she put her fgoot down, uncaring that everyone can hear their arguement and how much they seemed to hate on another - he dared 1- call her ugly 2- threaten to collar her 3- imply the slaves were good looking. "You Sir were blessed with a classy woman of Minus, full of.." she paused a moment as she pondered another word other than classy- she didnt hjave a big vocabuilary.. "Ermm.. really knowledgeable and respected.! I will no longer be here to hear those uncalled for insults when I was trying to protect you.." she points at Persis "She is diseased!!" she told him "Like all over... you may even die.. ya know, you may die" she sounded a lil joyous at that.. "Die" she added again in a shady voice. "Well  lovely seeing my companion.. how great it is that we are together" she finally quietered her shrill tone as she turned to walk away. "I shall now go and prepare the house for you" she fiddled with the key and glanced back at him, a very small whisper "I'd try the Den for tonight" before she hurried into her room and tried to lock the door

  Persis Ishtari gasped hearing Lina and fet she had a mark all over her forehead now. Holding her breath she just clinged to her Master, shivering and thrembling before. She had faced brutal gorean bastards ashuge as trees on earth, she had been kicked, beaten, slapped and whipped, but nothing could compare with the fear she felt right now. She was paralized, she was lame and numb untill she eyed her master, realizing if she died, she would loose him to and she bursted in to tears, holding her hand for her mouth so no one would hear her

[19:26]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) followed Lina inside the house with his fist clenched. How did she dare making such a fuss in the middle of the street? "Are you out of your mind, Lady?" he hissed. "And this lovely slave," he added, pointing at Persis, who was following him at the length of his leash, "this slave is healthy as a Kaiila. And I intend to be too!" He then walked back at the door and, with a loud voice, shouted, so the villagers around would hear: "Oh but my beloved companion, come into my arms! Can't you simply taste the jesting mood of your man? You are indeed the loveliest, most intelligent, most pleasing woman on all Gor! Every one knows that! And you have the best man, the strongest, the wisest too! Aren't we made for one another? Come, come. Let's have a nice cuddle!" And with that said, he slammed the door shut and turned to the Lady Lina again. "Well," he hissed, "You should watch you tongue, woman, or you will really end up in a collar! I can guarantee it." He looked at Persis, and wiped her tears with his thumb: " Sweet one, make my bed with some furs in that corner. We will sleep in separate couches. Lina on the bed and I on the floor with you…" he paused. "No, wait, I will sleep on the bed with you, mine, and Lina will be very comfortable on the floor." And he tugged his fur boots off, getting ready for the night.

dana Tehani: Well sure she is.." she said sarcastically "Just like a kaiila.. now that you said it, she does appear to look like one" Lina dismisses Persis's obvious sad & distressed status, she was mad that he would call and not one compliment to her. "Perhaps its contageous.. I mean you may look cuter with hair in your nose"! she huffed and turned around from him, she gasped as he called her that and dared make it okay. Hell freaking no, Lina was out of it now and wasnt gonna act. The man dared insult her and call the slave lovely - he hit a brick now!. She rolls her eyes "Can I kill you first!" she said that loudly then added, "my lovely companion!" she heard his words and bites her lip. then eyed him "I paid you! Youre supposed to be making sure I am happy!.. well I am not happy!" she said in a whining tone. "I guess I should have added, nice and reasonable to your freaking contract!" she was losing her cool now, with very little self control, She gasped as He said that "Dont you dare!" she hurried to her bed and jumped on it "yo u Sir sleep on the floor!!.. OUTSIDE!" she screamed the last word

[19:38]  Persis Ishtari peeked up at Lina, now the lines were drawn and hurrid to the bed to throw off a few furs and covers for her Mistress. 'Yes my Master' she whspered still feeling his reasuring thumb under her eyes. As she was just to pick up a pillow as well she felt the air from the bed as Lina suddently jumped inside it and had to run back in fear 'Oh my My Mistress..' She said as she almost stumbled on her feet running back to the nearest corner as long as her leach could reach. She was really scared now hearing them...contract....deal....kill....disease. This was too much for her, she didnt understand it. little did she know of gorean companionships, theough she remebered it was a way to freedom in her first days of slavery, at least she was told and had hoped for....then. She stod there, her back pressed against the wall wondering and fearing what would happen next



 Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) lifted the patch that was covering his right eye. "She looks like a kaiila… Perhaps. With only one eye, I probably don't see things as they are… Or perhaps I do like using a nice kaiila, too." He smirked. "Now as for the contract that is between us, I am only supposed to protect you from assaults. Making you happy would be the job of some nice and submissive Kajirus." He watched the lady Lina jump on the bed and scare the poor slave. He frowned for a moment and then let a smirk curl the corner of his lip. "You want the bed? Is that it?" he asked… And he took Persis by the arm. "Very well then. Come, mine, back to the den. I will be using you for the rest of the night. After all, I might like it better than sleeping in that bed." And pulling on her leash, he opened the door again and walked back to the paga den near the docks.

46]  dana Tehani her fingers turned into angry fists "I hate him" she mumbled out rather angrily as she settled on the bed, thinking up revenge for him. Oh how she hated that he liked PErsis, she was insanely jealous and it wasnt even that she wanted him. Not at all, it was mainly cuz she was : Insane and jealous

Thank you both so much for involving me!! 

[Shikhandi Panthar]

Here is what happened next. Wotan had to find a way to go to greener pastures...

[18:11]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) walked back to the Lady Lina's house again. He had spent the whole night in the den with Persis, using her again and again. He was sore and dreaded the next encounter with his companion. The night had been delicious, and he knew the day would be an inferno, for he would have to stand the Lady Lina's endless babbling, her unbearable reproach. He took a deep breath and pushed the door of the house. The harpy was already up and dressed, as if waiting for him. He tugged the slave to him. "Come mine," he said in a protective tone. Then, lifting his single eye towards the woman he hated, he forced a smile on the side of his lips. "Did you sleep well in your bed? I suppose it was wide enough for you… Although I suspect the two enormous globes hanging at your chest are a bit cumbersome, aren't they?" he asked scornfully.

[18:14]  dana Tehani rolled her eyes as she saw Shik enter. "I hope you had a good night my companion" she said rather snidely. "I hear it will rain tonight so lets pray that I wont have to ask you to leave.. and yes me and your child are most comfortable" Lina eyed Persis with jealous and hatred, she coughed "If all thats mine is yours and yours is mine How about we share the gold you have?" she asked, with an evil twinkle in her eye

[18:16]  Persis Ishtari stumbled inside the door following her Master in her short but beloved leash and dropped to the floor next to him, her legs almost not able to carry her any longer. She was cold now after a long sweaty night in the furs. Seeing Lina she felt guilty and lowered her eyes, hoping she wouldn't see her and notice her condition, hearing her words cut like a chainsaw - used on earth - in her ears. She wasn't sure is she should greet or not, but a small whisper did leave her shivering lips 'Ta...tal my Mistress'

[18:23]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) opened a wild single eye when he heard Lina's question. "My gold?" he cried out, for in truth, his life was all about gold, gold and steel, and he would let no one touch it. "My gold is mine, and much above the value of this lovely little whore!" he retorted. "I will not allow you to even look at it! How dare you, tart!" and he lifted his hand, ready to slap the Lady Lina on her face, utterly angered by the challenge she was trying to put him to. "Not a single word or I will lash you, Lady! Do you hear?" His mouth had been foaming with ecstasy with Persis during the dark hours, and now it was foaming with rage in front of the Lady he was supposed to protect. His hand remained there, threatening to fall viciously on her.

[18:25]  dana Tehani eyes widen feeling the immense anger in him. His hand raising to threaten to slap her, she stepped back from him in fear,. "No! Dont! I am with child or have you forgotten! and you been hired by me!. I think we should separate our items thats all I'm saying. They are only things" her eyes twinkled as she referred to Persis as a thing but keeping well away from his reach. "Do not be haste! you would be killed should Surf finds out I could lose the baby due to violence" she threatened

[18:32]  Persis Ishtari gasped not recognizing her Master as he raised his hands against Lina. Deep inside she so hoped he would give her a fair slap, with a red mark of a hand followed on her cheek, but again - Lina was pregnant and Persis was worried for this baby, a small copy of her adored Master. Just shaking her head saying noting she pulled her leash looking up at her Master

[18:39]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) 's cheeks became crimson red. His mind was torn between the impulse to beat the vixen standing before him, her bulky breasts pointing at him as if provoking him, her tongue moving in her mouth like a snake, and the duty to guard and protect her. "You are with child?" he yelled, "I do not know what you call a child, but the incubus growing in your belly is certainly more akin to a sea tharlarion than to a human, if indeed he bears any resemblance to his mother!" He tried to keep some composure. "Separate your items?" he repeated, his mind blurred with anger, for indeed, he did not want the woman to touch his gold, but on the other hand he was already very fond of the slave girl who was clinging at his feet, marked all over her body with the lashes of his hands, nails and teeth, that had been plowing her skin during this night of bliss. "I… I…" he hesitated. He was confused. "My gold is mine… this slut is mine! You know very well you can't claim anything as your own. If I do reveal where the little swimming monster in your entrails comes from, you will be enslaved and will own nothing! I will even make you kneel before Persis, who I will make fist girl in my collar and force you to call her Mistress!" he said, furious. But indeed, he knew he had a few bargaining chips against his client.

[18:42]  dana Tehani: Yes and I will make sure Surf is aware of all that.. Surf of Sais" she said darkly "The real father of this child who swore should anyone touch me they will face death.. if lucky" she said the words confidentially, the truth coming out to Persis. "Sir.. I hired you because I needed to hire you. Please don't mistake this relationship for any power you have on me. You work for Surf, he has paid the 30 gold you demanded!" she stepped back more, she was fearful but she hated the insults. Hell no and how dare he kind of thing.

[18:45]  Persis Ishtari just blinked hearing them as big tears started to run down her cheeks ...to be 1. girl to Lina!! Persis remembered well how Lina had treated her as a slave once, using her and letting her do her work, knowing she didn't speak Gorean. hearing the baby wasn't even HIS, it all overwhelmed her, she couldn't believe her ears...and he was hired...then not her real Master?. Persis just cried her salty tears as she lay flat on the floor, kissing the boots of the man she thought was now her real Master

[19:00]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) looked down at the girl Persis, who was now prostrated on the floor, overwhelmed by the revelations that this new fight was revealing. He kicked her: "Come mine," he said, "straighten up!" He, himself was overwhelmed with anger. "Sarf, Frus, Dwarf…" he said, making fun of the woman's lover, and taking his revenge of the endless quips regarding his own assumed name, "Whatever the name of the man who squirted his filthy porridge into your matrix has not hired me. I have been paid gold by you! And if this man, who I have never met, comes here and dares challenge me on my contract, I shall dispatch him and draw an nice little smile across his throat, at the happiness of seeing you again, Lady." He was trembling with fury. "I have had enough! I need to take some fresh air!" he shouted. Probably the passers-by in the stet nearby could hear him and would suspect something out of the ordinary was going on, that the happy couple was starting to fall apart. He needed to go, take a rest from this woman, from this whole village he hated. All about Lina made him sick: her looks, the sound of her voice, her words, her smell. He wanted to take Persis with him, downstream and enjoy the peaceful meadows by the river. But he knew this would bring even more fuss. He pulled the leash of the lovely slut and turned his heals. "I wish you… I don't know what I wish you anymore, Lina." he snapped, for at this very moment he really wished her dead and was starting to fantasize about some brethren coming to Minus with gold against her detested life.

[19:02]  dana Tehani: I love you too" she said sarcastically, showing no care he was leaving, since the gold was still in place "I will of course say hello to surf from you" she smirked a bit, hardly soothing the man nor calming him down.. "I wish you whatever you wish me!" she concluded then kicked Persis a little in anger.. hating on her "Ugly useless and whats all this marks!? did you displease someone!" she didn't await the reply "I bet you did!"

[19:09]  Persis Ishtari felt first the kick of Wotan and the from Lina and crawled on all four away from them both crying and sobbing, making spots and lines on the stone floor she so throughly had washed the day before. 'Pleases...please', she begged them both, hoping this nightmare would soon take its end. Hearing Wotan saying her needed air, that he wanted her with him she jumped up, feeling the red stripes of her skin cutting like small daggers again, but she didn't care. She was happy, she was thrilled, he wouldn't leave her behind! Not able to control herself she jumped around his neck and kissed him, wet and devotedly directly on his lips, before covering his face with yet a few handful of soft thankful kisses 'Oh yes my master ....oh yes...I ...I shall follow you to the end of the 3 moons!!', she cried and stepped back allowing him to pass *i wish you well my Mistress' she then continued, already outside the door, away form this small cold house of Minus

[19:17]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) grabbed Persis in his arms and kissed her back, furiously, biting her lips, almost as if he was wanting to eat her alive. Was it rage? was it desire? The feelings were blurred in his mind. He turned around and walked out the door. He strode down the street towards the small terrace that was overhanging above the docks. He was panting, trying to calm himself, not noticing the villagers around him who would turn around as he walked past them. He finally reached the terrace. He looked around. The slave was next to him. He crouched besides her and unclipped the chain from her collar. She was now free to walk freely. His anger had thrown him in a state of madness. Slowly, he stepped froward, towards the edge of the terrace. Underneath him, the agitated waters of the river were dancing under the rising sun. He felt some strange urge in his heart. Then, all of a sudden, he glanced at Persis for a brief moment and made one step too far. He fell. A loud splash could be heard as his large frame reached the surface of the cold stream. His garments made him float for a brief moment. Then, heavy with their drink, they pulled him down. Soon, he returned to the land of the aquatic beats of old… The silence of the waters under the surface felt like a peace that could not be felt but in some noumenal realm…

[19:22]  Persis Ishtari felt his ravishing kiss and the tuck of her collar as he dragged her along in her leash. She could hardly follow, not only did he have amazingly long legs, but Persis was sore and throughly slapped and beaten all over. She felt his unclicking the leash, saw him jump and followed him to the edge of the terrace 'Nooooooooooo.........nooooooooo!!!...please no!..no!. My Master...please my Master' she screamed in fear and sorrow dropping on her knees in desperation

[19:30]  Persis Ishtari sobbing and trembling she sputtered 'my Master...my Master...i have lost him, the river has taken him..it cant be true can it? ...Again she ran to the edge of the river looking down 'please Mistresses...i need to go tell my Mistress'

[19:32]  Ginger Shamrock looks towards the water... and doesn't seem to notice any disruption, but that in itself doesn't mean anything. She wonders if Lina's companion had finally had enough and decided to end his life.... "aye girl... run and tell your mistress." She looks at the girl sympathetically... hoping that things don't go badly for her being the messenger of such news..."

[19:36]  Persis Ishtari dried her eyes with the back of her hand to better to be able to see she nodded towards Ginger *thank you Mistress...i thank you!' Her heard were already sinking in her chest, such bliss in such a short time she had been his slave, she had promised him to always please him, to give him all of her, to never conceal a thing....and she had meant it. Now he was lost...or was he? She hadn't seen his dead body. She shook her head not really able to think and turned on her heels towards Lina's house

[19:40]  Persis Ishtari slammed the door open almost hearing the old wood brake and ran towards Lina and fell on her sore knees, feeling the pain of broken skin against the stone floor, just not able to take it in. She cried, she screamed 'My Mistress...my Mistress....he...he...he is gone!!' My master!' She panted between her dry and broken lips 'He fell Mistress'

[19:43]  dana Tehani eyes widen as she glanced to her "What are you on about he is gone?" Lina laughed, "I am not that lucky!" she told her as she turned, dismissing her. "Now tell him to stop his game I ain't interested1"

[19:45]  Persis Ishtari shook her head wildly, her pony tail dancing around her face 'No...no...he jumped off the roof Mistress...into the wild river and disappeared...Mistress,,,,we have lost him...we have lost him' she lowered her head saying the last words, which might not even be hearable for Lina

Stay tuned for the next episode!

[Shikhandi Panthar]

After Lina's hasty departure from Minus with the slave Persis (see: http://www.gor-sl.com/index.php/topic,5763.0.html), Wotan returns to the village and discovers they are not there anymore. But he is not yet out of trouble. In fact he always seems to be flirting with death:

[07:34]  Kali Mizin looks out the door at the gent standing in the corridor. She stands holding her tea and trying to wake up, sipping it, but not saying anything to him, just eyeing him.

[07:49]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) parted the thick line of rush on the river bank. He had been away for some time from the village, away from the Lady Lina, his detested companion, and away too from the slave girl he had become fond of late… The village looked the same way as ever, old and somewhat filthy, always in the long shadows of the Voltai range… After jumping into the river, he had been diving for a time, for as long as his lungs could resist the lack of air… Then, hidden in the grass of the river side, he had managed to walk away, and sleep under the stars, not very far from the village, in fact. But, from his observation spot, Wotan had seen some unusual movements around Minus: coming and goings of people and boats, as if some smuggling traffic would suddenly take place. Of course, from where he was hiding, he could not perceive who were the people boarding the boats. Intrigued, he had decided to walk downhill and back into the village, if only to make sure the Lady Lina, whom he was still protecting, and her pretty slave, were still safe… He walked through the streets. The village seemed suddenly quieter than usual, as if mourning the death of an Elder. The alleys were empty. He frowned. He had noticed the presence of a redhead woman in the street, looking at him, but very quickly, she had entered a house, as if hiding from him…

[08:04]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) walked across the village and strode trough the almost empty tavern. He could only notice the presence of some stranger there, to whom he nodded slightly, without stopping. He finally reached the building of his companion's house. The place seemed strangely silent. The shrill voice of the Lady was gone. The delicious frame of the blond girl too. He pushed the door open. For some reason, it had not been locked. The sun rays, falling from the window were filled with the minuscule movement of the grains of dust that were dancing in the light, like fishes in a golden river. The place was empty. His heart skipped a beat and he remained there, under the door frame for a long moment. He was realizing the Lady had left, with all her belongings, including the slave, including his own items -and among them, a bag of gold he had left there to sustain his stay in the village. His eyes suddenly ignited in rage again, her turned his heels and went back to the place where he had seen that woman. Perhaps she could help and provide him with some information about what was going on in this village. He walked to the door where she had disappeared only moments ago and slammed the wood with his clenched fist.

[08:15]  Kali Mizin comes out of her back room, wiping her hands off on the oily rag, her perfume that of wet paints today. The flecks of paint on her hands, and the condition of the rag tell you she's been working. "Oh, how can I help you Sir?" She says, looking hopeful that he is here to make a purchase.

[08:18]  Naja Aeon smiles to them both as she rushes out of the backroom corecting a few folds on her skirt and once more checking the veil is in place "ah..i'll run a small errand Kali - will be back tonight" she smiles to her - grabs her purse and runs out the door

[08:22]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) peered at the unknown woman who had just come out of the back of the shop where he had entered. Behind him, he had sensed the presence of still another female, to who he gave a quick glance. Then turning to the redhead, he offered the woman a slight smile. "Tal, Lady. I am Wotan, the Lady Lina's companion. I just come back from a trip downstream and realize there is a strange mood in the village and the Lady seems to have moved from her house." he said. "Are you aware of anything going on? Any plague that would have forced the villagers to move, if only for a time? Any foes lurking and threatening to attack the village, which would force the peasants to withdraw into the mountains?"

[08:29]  Kali Mizin stops studying her hands, and tilts her head a bit, pursing her lips behind the veil. "I've been traveling myself, Sir. But it is my understanding that the Lady...your companion...did indeed take bag and baggage and was last seen boarding a ship. I'm afraid I have no idea where she might go, although I had heard she liked to visit Sais from time to time. If "visit" is the right word. I think they had a tendancy to capture her actually. I am sorry for your situation."

[08:36]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) 's single good eye opened wide, suddenly full of fire. "Sais, you say? Capture her?" The news was infuriating him. Not so because she would go to Sais, for he knew well the child she was bearing was the fruit of a saisian instrument, but because, pretending to be his companion, she would still go there and manage to see her lover, this dishonoring him. "Do you know when she will be back, Lady… ?" he asked, wondering what this woman's name was. "It seems she has packed all her belongings and part of mine. Come with me, I shall show you…" And ha walked out of the shop.

[08:37]  Kali Mizin waves a hand, once again dragged into Lina's affairs, even when she herself is not here. "Sir, I do believe you, I have no need to see an empty room." Kali tries to smile softly with her eyes, to be sympathetic. "Its just, I really have no idea where the Lady would go. I didn't know her well enough, and she's ..." I stop, having been about to say she was a most unpleasant person. I hold out a hand, delicately, "Sir...perhaps the Lady is best let go. No one who truly cares would do such a thing to a decent fellow such as yourself?" Kali sighs, thinking his shock must be great, and for herself, surprisingly, she thinks she too will miss that crazed voice echoing off the corridor walls.

[08:41]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) carried away by anger, grabbed the woman by the wrist. "Come I say!" he snapped. "You will see what your fellow villager just did: I take it she simply abandoned her companion and went away!" But what was even worse was the fact that his gold bag had disappeared. He strode through the village, pulling the poor merchant by the arm, who of course was probably not interested. He did not care, he wanted someone, at least to witness this.

[08:41]  Vido Sciarri: let go the woman or die your choose". with a steel look in his eyes he pulls out his trusty weapons and prepares to do battle no matter what the odds. in fact you laid hand on her death it is

[08:42]  GM 4.02: Vido Sciarri Has Captured Shikhandi Panthar!

[08:42]  Vido Sciarri: /me laying a hand on a woman of Treve is death to all. i kick the downed man in the ribs heavily " and you laid hand on the wrong woman"

[08:43]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) comes up upon a scene near the Minus Inn where a man was down on the ground and another, scarlet, holding a blade. He starts putting his boots on and observes.

[08:44]  Vido Sciarri kali tell me what happened here, why this fellow had a hand on you". pull out his bow and notches an arrow ready to shoot

[08:45]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) turned around at looked at the man who was stopping him on his way. He was caught by surprise by the sudden attack of this warrior in the middle of the empty village. Indeed the man was impulsive. He had been stuck in the chest by the man's sword and was lying on the ground unconscious.

[08:45]  Vido Sciarri sheaths his weapons and bring out s binding rope cut in three and starts on the fellows wrists with a tight capture knot. kicks his legs together and ties the ankles off in a similar knot pulling the remains to the wrists

[08:46]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) jumps in place, pulling the leather boots in place. They are damp. He moves to a wall to lean on, that he can finish the work and observe the scarlet upholding his conversation with a women he sees from behind. The man on the ground wears white, including a cloak.

[08:46]  Kali Mizin is pulled from her shop, making a small yelp of protest and not having much choice except to follow. She is suddenly confronted with Vido, who knocks the man flat, which sends her off balance onto her own arse. Quickly scrambling back, she untangles her skirt from her legs and manages to rise to her feet awkwardly. "Oh my word!" She exclaims at them both, rubbing her wrist where the man had grabbed her. "Vido this is Lina's companion! He seems, most distraut. I...I don't think he wanted to hurt me, just prove to me she had left with his things..." I look a bit puzzled at this whole affair, and not sure if I am angry at the man on the stones, or just feeling sorry for him.

[08:47]  Vido Sciarri ties the ankles to the wrists in a hog tie "i wont be needing to be dragging you anywhere whoever the hell you are" and i give it a final tug to make sure its tight " you laid hand on the woman of a captain of Treve". with a steel look in his eyes he pulls out his trusty weapons and prepares to do battle no matter what the odds. pull out his bow and notches an arrow ready to shoot

[08:48]  DV (deusverto.magic) wanders up the steps, tired after a long journey, only to see the conflict ensue on the upper landing, "Fight over a damn woman..." he mutters as he makes his way to the inn, deciding to give the fray a wide berth.
[08:48]  Vido Sciarri i look on the scene with a deep frown and not too much interest now " he laid a hand on you Kali, laying had on a free woman is not the most advisable thing that a man can be doing"

[08:50]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) retains the behavior of the man called Vido by the woman, who seems prompt on honoring the free woman's personal space and he smiles kindly. He stretches after testing his boots and looks about, still concerned by the scene and particularly by potential injuries the man down might have suffered. He looks for blood on the ground.

[08:52]  DV (deusverto.magic) chuckles under his breath and smiles roguishly toward the free woman, then frowns as he realizes there is not a single kajira in the inn to serve. Growling he finds a tankard and helps himself to a stout paga, flipping 2 coppers on the counter.

[08:52]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) was roaming in a dark and bloody dream. He could feel blood in his mouth and hear the echo of voices around him, but he coulees not move, now bound and pinned on the floor. He should never have returned to the village. But he was there, miserably stuck down. His blood was slowly filling the cracks between the pavement, like a net of squared rivers.

[08:53]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) walks through the inn, on her way to the docks and pauses, seeing a man on the ground outside and a stranger in the inn"Greetings Sir.."she manages carefully,not sure what has transpired…

[08:54]  Vido Sciarri i boot the man in the ribs to turn him over "you try to make off with a free woman, that is bad enough, to try to make off with my companion is downright suicidal" and i place a foot on your cheats and draw my sword and place the tip at your neck "what do you wish done with this one kali, maybe i should take him tothe arena and see if he wants to try to lay hand on a man before he dies"

[08:54]  Kali Mizin continues to rub the wrist and behind the free woman's stubborn aura of untouchabiliy, her heart is pounding on two fronts. She is indeed shocked and upset at having been grabbed. She is also amazed and her heart leaps that Vido was there, just there, out of the blue to rescue her from this manhandling. Her pride in him explodes and she walks around the downed man to be close to him as he speaks, wondering herself how badly the man is wounded.

[08:55]  DV (deusverto.magic) spins around hearing soft footsteps behind him, and grins in delight seeing a rather comely free woman approaching. He regards her leeringly and notices her apprehension at the combative scene outside, "Eh, just some quarrel over a woman, lass. I am sure the drama has subsided. "

[08:56]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) watches the woman go around the downed man and for who was mentioned is her companion. He finds himself facing them all and takes a step forward to examine the scene more closely. The man clad in scarlet wears a sword to his left thigh, no shield or range weapon seem present. Too, he wears a large cape. As the woman hides behind it, he steps over to examine the condition of the downed men, along with his potential weapons and sources of bleeding.

[08:56]  Vido Sciarri you stand back unless you wish to join this man" i say coldly at the man that appears " he has some explaining todo"

[08:57]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) felt the man's hand turning him around, but his sight was still blurred. He could not make out what the man was saying to him. Only could he sense a sort of menacing tone of voice. He growled and the blood in his mouth gargled at the back of his throat.

[08:57]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) eyes the scene, realizing the stranger had nothing to do with the man downed. Eyeing the muscular form of the stranger from under lowered lashes she murmurs"My name is Mogan, by the way, I am a trader here, of goods, and well, other things." she peers past him a moment to regard the Lady she had seen in the studio a few times"I hope you are unharmed Lady.."

[08:58]  Kali Mizin purses her lips, her eyes undecided. "He...he wasn't dragging me out of the Village, Vido," I say shakily, "He seemed to want to take me to Lina's house, to show me that her things were gone, and that she had taken his things as well. I have no idea why, I have nothing to do with her, but he, as you say, would have nothing but for me to go with him." I realize I'm starting to shake a bit, "I think perhaps he was out of his head with rage and grief, and I just got caught up in it." I have no idea he's actually grieving for his gold and not Lina...

[08:58]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) points out for the scarlet man, using respect, "He looks blind in one eye." and also, "He is still armed, beware." with some respect in his voice. He has the time to pronounce these two phrases before making room for the examination that might follow.

[09:00]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) now recognizes the downed man from Linas companionship ceremony. He sure seemed more dangerous now than he had then. Maybe she was wrong about his feelings for the annoying woman.

[09:00]  Vido Sciarri nods at the other man " be well" i offer and turn to Kali " and he felt the need to lay a hand on you looking for all the world like a man about to drag you off" i pull up the sword and lay the blade over my shoulder and look down at the man "linas companion you say, you know this to be true"

[09:00]  DV (deusverto.magic) raises his eyebrows and follows the Lady Morgan's feminine form all the way up from her gown's graceful flow to her sparkling emerald eyes. His smile widens as a note of recognition glimmers in his eyes, "Lady Morgan, very well met. I am DeusVerto, but most call me DV. I am of the scarlet caste, and formerly of the home stone of Sulport before...the tragedy..."

[09:01]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) takes the man's farewell as a warning to stay away, yet he stays nearby, "The woman named Lina, incidentally." he purports, "Owes me money." he adds shrewdly. "I may have interest in this conversation before the man dies..." he trails off.

[09:03]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) slowly was loosing more blood, while the people aroid him were casually speaking at it seemed. A shadow rose before his eyes as he gradually passed out. His face became wan. His single eye rolled upward...

[09:03]  Vido Sciarri i hear this and " you were going to i think see if the fellow is close to death, know you about healing, have a look at the fellow if you will, and i will pay, if i am going to kill him i want him to know he is dead and not be in a stupur" and my anger seems to be sunsideing and my demeanor more clam

[09:04]  Kali Mizin looks at Vido with the eyes of a woman in love, and a woman who is amazed at the capacity of a man to not know where the family soap is kept. "Vido, love, " I say softly, "We just attended their FC. And as for his grabbing me, I had just told him I knew little of Lina, and didn't want to go. He grabbed me, and started to drag me off, presumably to their home. I know little else." I hear the word Sulport in the distance and as always, my attention flits to the voice briefly.

[09:04]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) eyes grow sad a moment thinking of the slaughter and blazes she had heard of in her travels"Ah, well, I am sorry to hear of your home Sir, and well met. What brings you to our village?" her cheeks pinken at his frank appraisal as she fights to remain outwardly calm..

[09:05]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard): "I believe the woman lina was the only healer I knew." he says, not without noticing the man on the ground begins to pass out. "I only am interested in the tark bit she owes me." he explains, "Perhaps we can determine the provenance of the man if he dies by examining his wear."

[09:06]  DV (deusverto.magic) struts over to a cushion by the doorway with his tankard of paga, glancing outside at the man bleeding on the ground, thinking they ought to drag his carcass off before he stains up the place. Then, looking around the inn, he figures maybe a little extra color might improve the ambiance. Taking a seat and a slow draw on the paga, he looks back up toward the Lady Morgan, smiling widely, still bothered by the idea that he as seen her somewhere before.

[09:10]  Vido Sciarri i move to the downed man and lean down and examine the crossbow on his hip this i remove along with the blots that are no the leg brace " seems well armed " i mumble mainly to myself "in truth i have no idea how to revive him even if i wanted to, but i would hear what Lina has been up to and i maybe will just cut off the offending hand, and feed it to the sleen"and i sheath my sword its work is done "perhaps if the fellow is FCed to Lina he wont thank me for sparing him and removing his right hand, for i dare say Lina will not wipe his ass for him"

[09:12]  Morgan (morgan.daxter) eyes the scene outside once more and shrugs. Obviously the two men have it under control. Catching the mans perusal yet again she fidgets from foot to foot finally saying softly"Is there a reason you look at me like that Sir?"

[09:15]  DV (deusverto.magic) grins roguishly at Morgan's question and takes another long draw on his paga before setting it down firmly on the table. He ponders his response again, looking up toward her in an admiring gaze, "Lady, you DO look familiar to me somehow. I know I have seen you before, but, I am sure it cannot be so, as the last time I saw that angelic face it hovered over a large band of steel."

[09:17]  Kali Mizin moves a bit to keep the man's blood from veining towards her skirt hem, "I have no interest in checking his condition, nor do I want him dead. Being FC'd to Lina is painful enough, I'd wager, but I'm glad you taught him about grabbing a free woman, even if it is by the wrist." My old uppityness is back and I am less frightened now, more assured. "I say you untie him, throw his weapons to the river, and perhaps, if you feel so disposed my love, drag his carcass to the infirmary for someone else to patch up. But what ever you do, I'd prefer to be elsewhere if you kill him. I'm..." I trail off, not willing to say I'm squeamish about such things.

[09:17]  ﾑﾚ乇ﾒﾉ丂 (alexis.blanchard) looks at the crossbow and bolts being removed from the man, then examines his thick boots made of a fur. Too, the white cloak seems make of the same material. Since it is white, it is reasonable to assume blood would show well on it, and so he examines it keenly to try and determine how much blood the man has lost and is still loosing.

[09:17]  Vido Sciarri come Kali leave the man in the street, he will find that minus has the law of the sword and not to touch what he cant afford"and i unsheathe a small knife from the back of my kilt and bend down and slice the bonds at feet and wrist " now the gods can decide if he lives or dies,and perhaps this man may get his coin"

[09:18]  (GM)Bindings: Vido Sciarri finishes unbinding  Shikhandi Panthar, allowing them to stand free.

[Reven]

sheesh.. i bet he wishes he hadnt met lina now!

Fun rp though!

[dana Tehani]

Oh god.. once he finds Lina.. well she better hide 

[Shikhandi Panthar]

Where Wotan is looked after by a less than trustworthy healer...

[15:03]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) had been left lying on the floor, unconscious, by his assailant. Slowly he was coming back to his senses. He felt cold, terribly cold… He now remembered how he had been attacked, all of a sudden and for no apparent reason by some random warrior who popped out of the tavern. He faintly pictured him complaining about the fact that he had "touched" some free woman. He remembered that, in effect, he had been talking to some shop-keeper and had wanted her to see the house of the Lady Lina. He tried to engrave the face of these two, knowing they were probably both dangerous lunatics and, next time he would see them, he needed to avoid them or slay them treacherously. But for now, he was in a bad shape, the blade of that man having pierced through his chest. His mouth was full of blood still and he could hardly move. He lifted his eyes and looked at a woman, not far from him, silently crying for help.

[15:09]  Reven (shortysweet) had said her farewells to ann, morgan and even the stupid man, she was sorting through her scrolls on her belt, not paying much attention to where she was walking, looking up for just a moment she catches a glimmer of white, she'd rub her eyes and blink, its a man on the floor, how could she of missed that , maybe she needed her eyes tested.. not that that mattered now, she'd noted blood on the ground surrounding him, his cloak now stained from the same, she'd look worried to the man, crouching down beside him, she'd place a hand on his wrist, carefully praying that he's not dead, she sighs feeling a pulse, she'd tip her head to the side "Tal... sir can you hear me?" she ask.. looking around to see if perhaps the person who attacked the man was roundabouts or near by, not waiting for the mans response she'd call out loudly "some come help me please" she's a healer aye, but getting a man certainly on her own down the steps to the infirmary would be an impossible task for her tiny frame

[15:17]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) watched the woman approach him and felt relieved. In his state, he could not speak without much pain, but her could hear the woman and he gave her a nod in response to her question. As she called some men around, the guards around one of the Ladies in the tavern -Lady Payton- came about and lifted his large frame. One of them, holding Wotan's shoulders turned towards Reven, and panting under the weight, asked: "Were to, Lady?" Wotan was like a heavy flaccid body, carried by the men.

[15:19]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) pauses to watch the scene outside, the obviously injured man held by her Mistress' guards. She eyes the woman in red, not recognizing her, then looks back to the injured man, curiosity sparkling in her emerald eyes

[15:20]  Reven (shortysweet) glances to the men, she nods in thanks to them pointing to the steps "Minus Infirmary quickly please" she'd snap at the men, she had wondered how long the man was laying there, she glance back to the slave as she headed down behind them

[15:23]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) watches them take of, debating with herself if she should follow and offer help, trying to decide if satisfying her curiosity would be worth the probably messy tasks that might be required. With an almost annoyed sigh her curiosity wins as always and she walks after the group of people, slipping into the infirmary

[15:26]  Reven (shortysweet) follow in behind the men, she peeled off her gloves, pulled up her sleeves, as she washed her hands, she nodded a thanks to the men that lay who she now recognizes to be Lina's companion, she stand shocked for a moment, gathering up any supplies she can think of, cleansing washes, bandages, pain relief antiseptic, cutting tools just incase, needle and various threads, a basin of water, and a pile of rep cloths, she'd head back to the mans side, shaking her head "who did this to you?" she'd ask but she didn't want an answer as she looks him over, the blood concentrated from his chest, she'd have to remove his clothes carefully

[15:28]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) the guards of the Lady Payton rushed behind the woman in red concealment robes and walked down the stairs of leading to the docks. They soon entered the small infirmary just down the stair and, puffing and pulling, managed to place the man on one of the beds. "There, Lady," said one of them, wiping his forehead from the shiny sweat pearling on his brow. "Will he be okay? Do you need any help?" asked the man. Meanwhile, Wotan was on the bed, wincing as the pain was waking up again from the wound in his chest. Ho could hardly speak. "Help!" he said simply to the healer in a whisper. He looked at her while she was preparing her instruments. "I do not know him… Some warrior… I remember he said he was a captain. But I suppose there must be quite a few captains un the city…" He was referring to Treve, but of course, he would not mention that name, down in the village...

[15:29]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) keeps back by the door, watching as the man is layed down on one of the beds. Looking at the lady preparing she calls softly to her "Do you need help Mistress?" her eyes moving to the man, swallowing seeing all the blood

[15:38]  Reven (shortysweet) would wave her hand to the guards, not sure of the outcome herself, she'd look back at the man lay on the bed, she'd lean over and unhook the catches of the chain of his cloak m pushing up over his shoulder, she'd reach down through her skirts, taking her concealed dagger, she would cut away the his shirt, right up the middle so it falls to the sides, making it easier for her to work, she'd nod to the slave, lifting a hand she motions her over, "gather up me some herbs, and warm water" she'd nod. she look to the mans chest, taking the first rep cloth she soaks it in sterile water and begins to wash over his chest slowly and efficiently, trying to work out if he was still bleeding badly, she'd wash away the dried in blood from his chest, noting the slice was still seeping, she then presses down on his chest, in an attempt to stop te bleeding, she knows it wont help his pain any but well, its either that or let him loose even more blood

[15:44]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) growled feebly as the woman approached him and started to cut off his garments. These furs were expensive indeed and it was a shame this whole episode would turn them into rags. But when she started to press on his chest, he yelled suddenly under the excruciating pain. The blood would pool in the slit of his wound and run down his chest and flanks. But no more blood was flowing out. He closed his eyes, suddenly feeling dizzy again.

[15:45]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) tightens the piece of silk holding her hair back, to try to keep the mess of curls out of her face. Almost reluctantly she makes her way over, she did not much like blood. She did want to satisfy her curiosity though, and she knew her Mistress liked to know what was going on in the village as well. So she moves to the bed, her eyes widening seeing the man close up, swallowing hard. Without thinking she replies "Yes Mistress" to the woman and half runs to the shelves. She stares at their contents blankly... herbs... she had no clue what herbs the woman might want. Remembering the water she fills a kettle, placing it over the flames to heat. Hearing the man yell in pain she pales, moving back to the shelves she looks back over at the woman, ignoring the injured man for now to be able to concentrate "Forgive me Mistress, what herbs do you need?"

[15:51]  Reven (shortysweet) lifts up the rep cloth, watching the blood pool on the wound, she nods to herself satisfied the bleeding has stopped, she drops the drenched cloth on the floor, the place was so dirty and dingy anyway she wondered when the last slave cleaned the place, her attention back on the chest, she'd jump back hearing his yell, normally a hand would follow, and rattle her over the head, one eye shut pulled back she's relieve this man seems to be in enough pain to not do that to her, she'd take another rep cloth, soaking it longer, squeezing the water out, she carefully clean round the wound, rubbing firmer where it needed her eyes wouldn't lift for the man as she simply said "Jars along the shelf, bring some", she drop each drenched soaked cloth on the floor, taking a fresh one until she was satisfied it was clean enough

[15:58]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) clenched his jaw and closed his eyes, trying to dismiss the pain from the woman's touch. He took a few deep breaths and finally looked around. This infirmary was, by all accounts, one of the filthiest he had seen in a long time. He hoped the Physician had a bit more hygiene than the place where she was operating conveyed. In any case, he had no choice, there was no other healer around and he was not in glorious Ar, where he could have been enjoying the assistance of very skilled men or women of the Green Caste. He tried to relax for a moment.

[15:59]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) stares at her blankly for a moment then looks to the shelves and all the jars there of various herbs. She had no clue what they were and what they might do. To make sure she gathers up all she can see, stacking 7 small jars of various contents in her arms. She makes her way to the bed carefully tipping her load onto it beside the man "here Mistress, thats all I could find" she says sweetly. She turns again only casting one quick look at the half naked bloodied man, moving swiftly to the fire. She peeks into the kettle and finds the water boiling, using a thick stained towel to protect her hands removing it from the heat, looking over to the woman unsure how she'd want the water, she moves a bit closer to the bed again taking bringing the steaming kettle with her

[16:05]  Reven (shortysweet) gatheres the pots of the girl, a lot of which she didn't need, tea leaves and perking a brow shes not even sure what this is, she'd sniff the jar, she remembers the stench, that was the herbs she stole from Sais and had stuffed under her boob, she reckoned that wouldn't be any good, she then took the kettle of water, pouring it into the already cold bowl she had, testing it to make sure it was simply warm enough to do what was needed, shed hand the kettle back, kick the soaked rags from her feet, she takes the antiseptic wash and begins to clean yet again round the wound quickly and as painless as she possibly can, shed take the jar of leaves with her free hand holding it out to the slave "Make some tea with that, it will serve as pain relief for the man" she'd nod as she continues to wipe round with the antiseptic wash

[16:08]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) seems a bit calmer as she approaches the bed again, this time looking more closely at the man as Reven takes the kettle of water. She notes the now ruined but expensive looking clothes, a closer look at his face confirming she had no idea who he was. Taking the kettle again and the jar of leaves she nods a polite "yes Mistress" to Reven and turns to find a cup or mug to brew the tea

[16:14]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) was lying there, too weak to do anything for now. He kept looking at the woman and wondered what she was doing, sniffing the pots of herbs. Actually, the slave didn't seem to have much clue either about what they were doing. He tried to lift his head a bit. "Lady," he asked, "are you sure you know what you are doing?" His head fell, heavy again on the bed and he closed his eyes, not extremely reassured about what was going on...

[16:18]  Reven (shortysweet) looks down to the man, she did think he'd been through enough pain, with having to put up with Lina for so long, and well he's lay there in a good mess, she nods "Yes of course i know what I'm doing, i been a healer for years" she was going to at least help ease the pain a little but seeing his outburst she'd simply forget, she takes a needle threads it carefully, placing one hand at the base of the wound, she beings to stitch up, pulling the tread tight, but not too tight, stopping to cut the thread between each stitch after tying it off, she works her way swiftly and she knew it would be slightly painful, perhaps there was a sadist in her like the last man she fixed suggested, she continues to work up the wound needle sliding in as close to the edge of the wound as possible until she gets to the top. securing it the last stich off she nods, admiring her work for a moment

[16:19]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) finds some clay bowls in the shelves, taking one. She looks into it, making a face seeing it lined with dust or ash. Trying to work fast knowing the man is in pain she pours a little of the hot water into the bowl swirling it to clean it, then simply tips the water into the fire, the flames hissing angrily as the drops hit them. She looks around for a clean towel but the ones she spots by the fire she does not even want to touch. Instead she wipes the remaining dust from the bowl with her skirt, deciding that was probably the cleanest available. Satisfied with the bowl she places a good pinch of the leaves into it then adds a few more, wanting to make it strong, and pours the still hot water over them. Hanging the kettle back over the fire in case more warm water was needed she brings the bowl of brewing tea back to the bed. SHe pales again seeing the lady busy sewing the man together

[16:24]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) observed the coming and going of the slave with the water and the hands of the healer on the skin of his chest, stitching his open would slowly, making a separate knot each time. He clenched his teeth and tried to concentrate on the ceiling, all the small patches up there, the small spider webs on the corners, the bloodstained wall behind him. The place really looked filthy, but at least he had more eye entertainment than he would have gotten from a clean white wall.

[16:28]  Reven (shortysweet) tips her head to the side, resting the needle and thread down, her hand would rest on his side, against his ribs she sighs with a shake of her head, taking the tea from the slave, she guides his head up "Drink. will help with the pain" she'd nod and wait for him to drink

[16:32]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) helped the woman and lifted his head slightly, just enough to be able to reach to the rim of the goblet. Then moving his lips forward, he sipped the hot beverage slowly. The slightly stretched posture of his neck would make his chest wound ache slightly. But he felt better. And as the drink slowly penetrated his cells, he was feeling soothed, as if a bit benumbed. He suddenly felt tired and his eyelids grew heavy...

[16:33]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) leans a little closer to look at the stitches closing the wound, her nose wrinkling. Staightening again she glances towards the door, realizing it is getting late. She moves from foor to foot, knowing she should hurry home but still knowing as little as when she entered her curiosity protests. With a sigh reason wins though and looking at the woman she asks "Do you need anything else Mistress? I will be expected home soon"

[16:37]  Reven (shortysweet) hands the bowl back to the slave, shed take a repcloth, a jar of the herb mixture, she'd dab the mixture along with sides of the wound, she knew it would promote healing and hopefully keep infection at bay, well give it a fighting chance to heal against the mess off this dump, she'd shake her head "No you may go " to the slave, she return to his ribs, the bruising bad, shed press and feel along each one as careful as possible, but she cant be sure not completely "I dont think they are broken but we are going to have to strap you up good and proper i think" she'd look down to him, he seemed to be falling asleep, she'd look him up and down, the rest would do him a lot of good, after all the wound is clean and stitched up "But we can do that after you sleep.. if thats what your needing.."

[16:38]  Emerald (angelia.ewinaga) takes the bowl, then looks at the man seeming half asleep "I hope you heal quickly Master" then glances at the lady "I wish you well Mistress". Turning she leaves the bowl on the table behind her, and half runs out the door, knowing she is probably very late.

[16:43]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) gave the slave a slight nod of the head as he finished the tea and rested again. He then turned to the healer and replied with a trailing voice: "Yes, Lady. Please do what you need to do now. I want to be on my feet as soon as possible." he said. Indeed, he needed to find that Lady Lina again and the slave Persis. His gold had been taken and it needed to be recovered. He closed his eyes for a moment. "Please do the strapping up, if this is needed." and he slowly spread his arms to give her better access to his flanks.

[16:46]  Reven (shortysweet) takes a deep breath, with a nod "then this will be uncomfortable, i need you to sit up" she'd prepare lengths of bandages, knowing its better to keep the wound clean and dry as possible if he's going to be up and walking about, she offer her help to guide him up to a sit

[16:49]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) frowned and sighed and growled, pushing on his arms and slowly sitting up on the edge of the bed. He was about to fall asleep and it was a huge effort for him to manage to stay awake. His back was not very straight and he had to keep his balance with both hands on each side. "Proceed, healer." he said flatly, trying to conceal the stress he was in at that moment.

[16:57]  Reven (shortysweet) gives him an apologetic smile, she first takes some gauze applies antibiotic ointment to it, she places it over the stitching, she takes the bandages and begins to wrap round his sizeable chest, she holds it in place with one hand as she wraps it round as quickly as she can do, she pulls it tight enough to give his ribs support that would be needed, she makes sure its smooth enough over him, she secures the bandages off,

[17:02]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) lifted his elbows a bit to let her slide her hands on the sides of his chest and manage to wrap him tightly with the bandage. "Thank you," he said, "I am much grateful to you, Lady." Once she seemed to be finished, he looked at her again: "May I lay down now, healer? Are you done?" And slowly, he would move back into a lying position without waiting for her reply...

[17:09]  Reven (shortysweet) nods slightly "yes I'm done" she'd offer softly, she's glad she didnt kill the man, and he seemed to be all right, just a bit drowsy but that would be expected, she hopes that he would rest as long as possible "i do hope you rest for as long as possible before setting off, you will need those stitches checked and removed" she'd nod again, she starts to gather up the rep cloths from the floor "if you need something for the pain, just ask, i could suggest some teas" she would busy herself, picking everything up, taking it over to the counter, grabbing the warming water off the hearth to give at least what she's used a good scrubbing over

[17:19]  Septimius Rufus (shikhandi.panthar) laid down and turned on one side. He would barely listen to the woman's words. Very quickly, he fell into a heavy slumber and the world around him disappeared. He had a strange dream of buildings crumbling, of avalanched in the mountain, of sea rising over the land, of fire eating houses and men. The universe had suddenly become a raging volcano. It was unclear yet if he would heal properly. That healer had seemed to him rather unorthodox. It was only to be hoped that he would be able to walk again shortly and that no infection would penetrate the natural gates and alleys of his body and curd, like eager droppings into milk, his thin and wholesome blood.

[17:22]  Reven (shortysweet) hums a soft tune to herself, her tools rattle away as she washes them, the jars clink as she rests them back in place, the cloths left in the laundry, she finally washes her hands drying them, she'd glance over at the man, the snore rumbling through the room, she'd chuckle, she dries off her hands, she watches him, he at least looks to be peaceful, she'd wonder about the eye patch, a story she would never hear, she figured, she leave a note on the table detailing the mans treatment should anyone come in to check on him. she slip out the door and head back home to do her studying

[Persis Ishtari]

The little blond slave jumps impatiently for the story to continue
