Old Acquaintance, New Arrival

[Fehu Isa]

_Outside of Fehu Isa _

Acheron Sinis: Having gotten word from one of his men that his presence was requested, he was now visible on that path heading toward her. He was accompanied by five of his Assassins.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to him and cants her head slightly:: that is another option

HS melina HS: ::eyes zoned in on an approaching figure and five others and she quickly curled up in that tree::

Acheron Sinis: His dark gaze sought out Anni and the men he had assigned to her.

NorthernWanderer: Is that what you wish? ::he looked up at her still before he looked over his shoulder at the newcomer, and the five new guards. He shifted around in his seat then, straightening up once more::

Annique AIIure: :; the men were near her and watching all, one looked over seeing the Elder a nod given ::

Acheron Sinis: He gave a nod as he neared closer.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked over seeing Papo she smiled::

HS melina HS: ::Kings alive...she thought to herself and there was a rustling in that tree as the girl tried to listen in more closely now::

Acheron Sinis: He had been through a hectic day of duty. He looked to her calmly...smiling a little. Then he looked to the tree hearing a rustling.

Annique AIIure: :: then she looked over to Tor:: I want you to meet someone... then we can continue this conversation :: she rose and moved over to Papo a wink given to him then she looked to the trees then back to Tor::

HS melina HS: ::seeing Acheron's head turning, she froze in place, closing her eyes in hopes she was hidden well enough::

Acheron Sinis: "Whoever is in that tree...Come out now."

NorthernWanderer: ::he nodded a bit then and looked up at the approaching man. He stood slowly then when Anni looked over at him again. He stepped out of his spot, just off the path, and looked at the man once more::

Acheron Sinis: He nodded to his men to fetch whoever was in that tree and then looked to that man.

HS melina HS: ::well, hell...with a quiet sigh, the girl moved to slowly climb down out of the tree, a flash of golden mane seen in the light of the tri-moons. she turned and offered a timid smile::

Acheron Sinis: Two of Papo's men went to the girl...Each taking an arm and moving her over to them and then forced down to a kneel. Papo's dark eyes looked over the man before him.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to the men then back to Papo:: the girl was not doing any harm :; she offered him a smile :: and I would like you to meet someone

HS melina HS: ::steps back some as the men advanced on her. with a quiet growl, she moved along with the men and gave the two a glare as she was forced to a kneel. heck, she could have done it all by herself..she was a big girl...she turned her attention back to Acheron, Tor, and Annique, lowering her eyes some::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to his men by the girl and motioned them from her. Then he looked to Tor.

Annique AIIure: :; she looked back to Tor:: This is my companion ...:: she then looked to Papo::

NorthernWanderer: ::He remained silent still though his arms crossed at his lower back slowly then. He looked rather comfortable as well. He stood a full six feet six inches of solid, but not bulky muscle. His sandy blonde hair was long, falling down past his shoulders and unkempt. He kept the right side of his face covered as well, leaving only one blue eye visible.

Annique AIIure: Tor is in need of something from me

NorthernWanderer: He nodded to the man then and looked back to Anni:: Well met.

Acheron Sinis: He looked away from Tor to Anni. "What do you mean...Needs something from you..?" He was not in the best of moods.

HS melina HS: ::as the Free spoke, the girl kept herself to her thoughts... making plans to get back at those two men who dragged her like a sack of suls. eyes glinted wildly as her thoughts ran rampant in her mind::

Annique AIIure: :: nods:: see....Tor is in need of papers

Acheron Sinis: "Papers...For what...? To wipe his ass..?" he sneered.

Annique AIIure: :: smirks softly:: No

Acheron Sinis: He then looked to Tor...

NorthernWanderer: ::He just looked between the two of them in silence still while he stood with perfect posture::

Acheron Sinis: "What is it you...Need...From my woman..?"

NorthernWanderer: I need manumission papers. ::his eyes narrowed a bit, and he found himself wondering exactly what the man's reaction would be::

HS melina HS: ::hmmm, she was in the line of fire, feeling the tension between the group. Slowly, she edged to the side more, out of the line of fire::

Acheron Sinis: His brows slightly lifted and then he looked to Anni.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to the girl and snapped her fingers for her not to move:: Don't move slave.

Acheron Sinis: "Is this one of your runaways..?"

Annique AIIure: :: then looked to Papo:: No he is not a runaway....he just seemed to have gotten lost

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Tor..."Lost....Is that so..."

HS melina HS: ::she froze in place and bit down on her bottom lip hard as the conversation started to get...heated::

Acheron Sinis: He walked right up to him...Face to face. "How did you get lost, boy..?"

NorthernWanderer: That is so. ::he didn't budge, didn't back down a bit when he was approached and he matched the man's gaze:: How does anyone get lost? Ever tried walking through the northern forests?

Acheron Sinis: "Many times." He said staring into his eyes.. "You are a slave...On your knees."

HS melina HS: ::the girl winced and peeked up to Tor and Acheron, praying to the Kings that things don't get messy. blinks hearing Acheron and the girl whimpered, biting her tongue from responding to that comment::

Annique AIIure: :; she cleared her throat and looked to what he would do ::

Acheron Sinis: "Now.." He said low.

NorthernWanderer: ::he frowned visibly then when he was told to kneel. It was something he hadn't heard in a loooong time. He knew how precarious his position was and slowly, and rather reluctantly, he lowered to kneel, though he kept his arms folded behind his back::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Anni..

HS melina HS: ::the girl's heart sank and she glared over to Tor. what in the world!? she swallowed and bowed her head low, to hide the tears threatening to fall::

Acheron Sinis: "How long has he been...Lost..?"

Annique AIIure: :: thinks and looked to Papo:: 8 envars

Acheron Sinis: Since he knelt obediantly...Papo did not have him bound in tether...Yet. He looked to Tor again..."Eight envars.." He slowly shook his head..."A long time to be...Lost.."

HS melina HS: ::fingertips were digging into her thighs and it took all her strength not to run back to her tree. squirming in her kneel...ohhhh she was furious...::

Annique AIIure: there must have been a good reason for it ....he was never one to just wander off unless ....

NorthernWanderer: A long time to live alone in the forest, as well. ::he looked up at the man standing infront of him. He was respectfuly but firm inhis answer:: I was pretty busy most of the time trying to heal wounds.

Acheron Sinis: He looked to his men and gave a signaled nod...The men moved to the stray slut and bound her...Her wrists were tethered and the rope looped around her neck. "For eight years..?"

NorthernWanderer: Ever had your head in a larls mouth? ::he smirked a bit while he flipped his hair back, revealing the ring of bitemarks that ran from his right temple, around to his nose and then down to his jaw::

Acheron Sinis: Melina was then dragged over to a tree and then forced down to her knees. Two men remained by her.

HS melina HS: ::the girl cried out, looking frantically over to Tor in a plea for help. she struggled against the tethers and hissed at the men::

Acheron Sinis: His eyes wandered Tor's face...Then he looked to his eyes..

Annique AIIure: :: she moved over to Papo and touched his arm then turned to the girl :: girlie...calm yourself:: her voice was soft as she looked to the girl::

Acheron Sinis: He looked then to Anni..."Ever known this boy to lie..?"

Annique AIIure: :: she turned back to Papo and shook her head:: No he never lied...he protected me from many things during that time

HS melina HS: ::Annique could see the hurt in the girl's eyes as she looked over to Her. again, the girl turned her gaze to the men, growling to them::

Acheron Sinis: He listened to her...And her words would carry much weight
for Tor. "On your feet." He looked to him.

NorthernWanderer: ::he stood then and kept his eyes locked with the man's. He didn't speak though::

Acheron Sinis: He studied his mannerism. Then he motioned the men to bring the girl to her feet.. "You will come with us."

Annique AIIure: :: she moved over to the girl and spoke softly:: growling will only get you in trouble ...so calm yourself down before they do something that you will not enjoy. Understood?

Acheron Sinis: He turned then, and his men then surrounded Tor and Anni...The two with the girl lifted her up to her feet and made her walk behind the group.

HS melina HS: ::did she have a choice? head bowed low and the girl was pulled to her feet. she bit back another growl and looked over to Tor::

Acheron Sinis: She had no choice. Nor did Tor.An Assassin was not a Warrior. Had Tor protested...he would had been cut down.

HS melina HS: ::icy blues misting with tears as she looked to Annique and gave a soft nod, cheeks flushed brightly::

Annique AIIure: :: hearing Papo she moved back over and looked to Tor a nod given to him then she moved to Papo's side to head out ::

NorthernWanderer: ::He stood in silence still and followed without a single sound. He did keep his arms crossed at his lower back though. At least they hadn't disarmed him yet. He was actually proud of the weapons he'd made::

[Fehu Isa]

Acheron Sinis: It was a walk that took roughly about an ahn. But then Tor and the slave would find themselves with Papo and Anni and his men walking into the community of Fehu Isa. And to the main Hall.

HS melina HS: ::the girl made it a point to the men that carried-walked her that she could indeed walk by herself, and she moved more quickly, making them have to keep up with her::

Annique AIIure: :: she walked along his side, then once reaching the hall she nods to the guards::

Acheron Sinis: Actually...She was made to keep up with them. They were pulling her along with the lead of that rope to her neck. Weither she liked it or not. Then all filed into the Hall.

HS melina HS: ::the girl narrowed her eyes on the two men and thoughts wandered back to getting revenge on them::

NorthernWanderer: ::Tor followed without a sound, though while they walked, he had his hands at his sides. He paid close attention to where they went, and he actually had never been here before::

Acheron Sinis: They were all led to one of the tables by the central fire hearth..
.
HS melina HS: ::melina wanted to be near Tor and prayed the men would lead her near him. icy blues glancing to Acheron, Annique, and Tor, and then to her surroundings. eyes like saucers now::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Tor as he removed the black gloves from his hands..."Have a seat."

Annique AIIure: :: she moved over to the table then lowered to sit down , she looked over to Tor a moment then back to Papo::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Melina..."Eyes down, slut." He lowered to a chair..."And be silent."

NorthernWanderer: ::When he was told to sit, he looked between Anni, Papo, the floor and a chair. He seemed to make up his mind quickly and he actually lowered to sit on the floor, since he was in a rather sticky situation, he went with the safe bet.

Acheron Sinis: "On a chair.." He looked to Tor.

NorthernWanderer: He didn't have his papers so he wasn't technically free and he wasn't going to risk his own skin. He looked up to Papo then and moved to a chair without a sound::

Annique AIIure: :: she did smile a little seeing him, remembering that he would always do that ::

HS melina HS: ::the girl bit back a haughty response, knowing better than to rattle an Assassin's chain. the girl knelt quietly and lowering her eyes, she'd peek up beneath thick lashes once in a while towards Tor.::

Acheron Sinis: He glanced briefly to the slave and then back to Tor.."That slave is yours..?"

NorthernWanderer: Not really...::he shrugged some and looked to the girl then for a moment before he looked back to the man sitting opposite him::

Annique AIIure: I think she follows him

Acheron Sinis: "I see."

HS melina HS: ::her heart sank, but she did not show it. she remained quiet and sensual in her kneel, eyes downcast. though she was crying inside.golden mane hung to veil her face from view::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Tor in study..

Annique AIIure: ::she looked to the girl then back to Tor::

NorthernWanderer: ::he remained silent now, just looking back at Papo::

Acheron Sinis: "Then you will feel no loss as she is in my custody."

HS melina HS: ::her head snapped up and her mouth fell agape, though no sound was uttered, she was screaming NO! inside::

NorthernWanderer: ::he just shrugged a bit:: I was thinking about collaring her, but I suppose without papers, a collar wouldn't matter.

Acheron Sinis: "How true."

Annique AIIure: :: oh she looked to Papo a moment then she looked to Tor::

Acheron Sinis: "...A true free man...Would have collared her."

NorthernWanderer: ::his visible eye narrowed for a moment before he leaned back in his chair, relaxing::

HS melina HS: ::her heart was breaking...how much worse could things get now? she looked from Tor and Acheron, to Annique and back again. why was she being tormented in this way? when she finally found true happiness, it was all being taken away from her..she bowed her head, tears rolling down her cheeks::

Acheron Sinis: "It must had been...Hard on you...Wandering around...Lost for eight vars...With no Master or Mistress to guide you.."
.
NorthernWanderer: I found my way. ::he reached up then, running his hands through his hair for a moment before he leaned forward a bit:: Shelter first, then water, then food. It becomes a day in day out process.

Acheron Sinis: The wheels of the mind of an Assassin were turning constantly. Always in study of those around him. Right now, his focus was on Tor.

Annique AIIure: and you found your way back to the camp to something familiar

HS melina HS: ::her focus too was on Tor, icy blues intently looking between the three of them:

NorthernWanderer: Creature comforts become secondary. ::he looked to Anni then and nodded a bit:: I did.

Acheron Sinis: He was listening...Watching him and studying him.

NorthernWanderer: Yes. Something familiar.

Acheron Sinis: "Are you trying to say...You lost your mind?"

NorthernWanderer: Lost my mind? ::he frowned visibly then:: No. I did exactly what I needed to do to survive...Losing the mind is not an option for those that want to live.

Annique AIIure: Tell me.....why the new name

Acheron Sinis: He took in all the information in this question and answer ritual.

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked to Anni then:: You were gone. I needed a name to use that didn't sound like a slave. The last thing I needed to was to be recollared and dragged off somewhere else, just incase you returned. But you
didn't.

HS melina HS: ::melina glanced to the two men near her and she growled softly, really wishing they would go away. really wishing that she was untethered so that she could seek out her revenge on those two brutes::

Annique AIIure: :: she leaned a little and looked right to him:: You did not wish to be dragged away did you..you wanted to remain there...at the camp

Acheron Sinis: Her growl was rewarded with a slap to the side of her head by one of the two standing near her ..Nothing dramatic...Just enough to make her consciously aware that they did not tolorate that.

NorthernWanderer: It was a good starting point. I knew the forest in every direction for thirty miles. Makes hunting easier. There was plenty to eat even if I wasn't successful hunting. Which happened regularly at first.

HS melina HS: ::ohhh she would have bit that hand that smacked her upside the head, if it were not for the fact that she was dealing with the Black Caste here. damn the luck::

Acheron Sinis: "So...You were waiting for my woman to return."

Annique AIIure: yes you were always good with getting around in the forest...even in the jungles...tell me ...did you enjoy your time free? :: she glanced to Papo then back to Tor leaning back once again::

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked to Papo first:: For the first two en'var.. The next six were all about survival...::he shrugged a bit then and looked over to Anni.:: Time free? I wouldn't really call alone in the forests free.

Acheron Sinis: "But you had that girl over there.." He motioned toward Melina.

Annique AIIure: you said you had just removed the collar 2 envars ago...and that was due to having to...

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Anni...With that 'Be quiet' look..

HS melina HS: ::she kept her mouth shut...for now, eyes narrowed on Acheron briefly::

NorthernWanderer: When did I have her? ::he looked to Papo and chuckled quietly:: I only walked out of the trees two days ago. ::he looked Anni again and nodded before he looked back to Papo::

Acheron Sinis: "Ahh.." he nodded then..

Annique AIIure: :; she saw that look and the girl wouldn't be the only one growling but she held it in at least for now::

Acheron Sinis: "So..When did you decide you wanted your freedom..?"

NorthernWanderer: When did I decide? When I decided to deal with people again.

Acheron Sinis:"Explain.." That was not an answer in his mind. Everyone slave and free had to deal with people. His answer made no sense to him.

NorthernWanderer: In the forest, alone, it made no difference if I was free or slave. The larls didn't care. Neither did the sleen. However, people do care. They care greatly.

Acheron Sinis: Indeed they did, he thought as he listened.

HS melina HS: ::she gave a squirm in her kneel, "accidentally" losing her balance and pushing against one of the men's legs to catch him off balance. She blinked and purred out:: so sorry, Master...::feigning genuine regret::

Acheron Sinis: The Master she leaned to...Grabbed hold to her hair and then smooshed her cheek to the floor. "Stay down.." the man growled low to her.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked over to the guards with the girl then turned her attention back to Tor::

NorthernWanderer: There were things I needed from the world. It's hard to get ahold of steel as a slave.

HS melina HS: ::she winced and uttered a barely audible growl, murmuring:: "brute..." ::cheek smooshed to the floor, she struggled to position herself to where she could see the group::

Acheron Sinis: And because she dared to speak...The man's heel leaned to her face.."Do not make me kill you." She was warned.

Annique AIIure: :: she then placed her hand on the table as she looked to Tor:: let me see that weapon you made again.

HS melina HS: ::eyes narrowed for a few moments on the man, but then quickly they lowered and she closed her eyes, a shiver running through her veins::

Acheron Sinis: "Are you gorean..?" he asked Tor.

NorthernWanderer: ::He looked over at Anni then and he shifted around in his seat then. He reached under his vest and slowly produced the longknife. The blade was serrated, and sharp. However, it was carved from a single bone, the thighbone of a larl and sported a simple, well worn wooden handle. He slid it slowly across the table to Anni then before he reached down into each boot producing two more short daggers, each one carved from bone and sharpened with double edges. They too had well worn wooden handles and he slowly set them on the table. He looked to Papo then and shook his head slowly:: No.

Acheron Sinis: Papo looked to the weapon with interest...Then he looked to Tor.. "How long were you a slave...Before you got...Lost.."

Annique AIIure: :: she took the longknife first and looked it over again...then she placed it to where Papo could see it then she reached for the daggers::

Acheron Sinis: His hand reached to the weapon. Then he took it into his hand and looked it over: His dark eyes went to the other daggers of bone..

NorthernWanderer: Twenty En'var.

Acheron Sinis: His eyes then went to Tor's eyes..That was a long time to be a slave. He then looked to that bone blade again...Slowly turning it in examination.

HS melina HS: ::melina was only 18 envars herself and she listened quietly to the conversation, watching as Acheron was examining Tor's weapons::

Acheron Sinis: He then looked to Tor as he set that weapon down gently to the table. "If I free you...What will you do..?"

Annique AIIure: :: now as he asked that she looked to Tor::

HS melina HS: ::she too was interested in His answer::

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked up slowly then, after eyeing the weapons on the table. He looked over to the slavegirl then and then back to Papo:: First? Or in general?

Acheron Sinis: He canted his head slightly and looked to him as if to say...Answer as you please.
.
NorthernWanderer: First I'd have the girl fetch me water. Then...::he thought about it for a moment:: I would collar her...after that I would have to find employment somewhere.

Acheron Sinis: He chuckled..."The girl is rather tied up at the moment...And in my keeping."

HS melina HS: ::hearing Acheron, she narrowed her eyes at Him::

NorthernWanderer: Oh I can see she's tied up at the moment. ::he chuckled quietly and looked over at the girl:: She was rather tied up earlier too.

Annique AIIure: :: now she glanced over to the girl as Tor said that , but seeing the narrowing of her eyes she quickly rose and moved to the girl then crouch down:: you want to keep those eyes ?

HS melina HS: ::Eyes moved to Tor and she blushed profusely::

NorthernWanderer: I would, however, appreciate it if you would release her to me.

HS melina HS: ::but her view was blocked by the Mistress and she swallowed, nodding to Her without a word::

Acheron Sinis: He smirked...

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked to Papo and chuckled a bit while he listened to Anni::

Annique AIIure: :; she took a dagger out and stabbed it on the floor before the girl:: I am not always nice remember that girl...so do not get on my bad side

Acheron Sinis: "I will free you...And you may stay here. There is work and coin to be earned."

HS melina HS: ::with a defeated sigh, she laid her head back down and closed her eyes, to get the sight of the dagger out of her mind::

NorthernWanderer: And the girl?

Acheron Sinis: He looked over to the girl..

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to Tor then and rose leaving the dagger where she stabbed it for now::

Acheron Sinis: Then he looked to him..With that...What's in it for me look.. It was the way of men like Papo.

NorthernWanderer: ::He kept his gaze on Papo but he remained silent. he had nothing to offer. Everything he had he was already carrying::

Acheron Sinis: "Will you remain here..?"

HS melina HS: ::after a while, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see that dagger. cheeks flushed brightly and she looked from Tor, to the Assassin, and back again:

NorthernWanderer: I have nowhere else to go...::he chuckled quietly and leaned back a bit further in his seat, relaxing a bit more::

Annique AIIure: you have something that belongs to me :: she moved over and looked to Tor as she sat back down rather calmly which was not always a good thing::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Anni..

Annique AIIure: ::since they have already decided what was going to happen she just looked to Tor ..waiting::

Acheron Sinis: "What is it you want of him, Anni..?"

NorthernWanderer: ::He looked to Anni then and nodded a bit before he produced his pack and reached inside. Pulling his hand back out, he was holding a collar with a busted lock. He held it out to Anni then and kept his gaze on her:: She wants her collar back....

Annique AIIure: :: as he reached for the collar she looked right to him taking it back then set it on the table , it was one of two that she had special made and that no other would now wear. She glanced to Papo a moment then she took in a deep breath ::

Acheron Sinis: Needless to say...he was slightly pissed with Anni not answering him. He looked to Tor and he nodded. "I will have the Magistrate draw up your papers."

NorthernWanderer: ::He remained perfectly silent while She took he collar and after a few moments he looked back to Papo::

Annique AIIure: :: she rose then taking the collar :: excuse me

NorthernWanderer: With all due respect...::he looked to Anni then:: I would rather her have them drawn up.

HS melina HS: ::eyes followed every movement between the three of them::

Annique AIIure: he has spoke...and he has told you whom will draw them up

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked to Anni then and just nodded before he looked back to Papo without another word::

Acheron Sinis:He looked to Tor. "She is my woman...Therefore..You..Are considered my property."

HS melina HS: ::icy blues lifted catching Tor's gaze::

Acheron Sinis: He smiled a little..."Just as that little beast there is mine..."

NorthernWanderer: ::he just nodded then without a further sound though he didn't even look down at the girl::

HS melina HS: ::she winced hearing Acheron, and as Tor ignored her, she felt her heart drop. a resigned sigh, and she turned her head to look away, closing her eyes to keep tears from falling::

Acheron Sinis: "She and I will sign the papers. You will be freed, Tor."

Annique AIIure: :: she heard Papo then she moved off to their chamber with that collar in hand::

NorthernWanderer: ::he just nodded then and looked back to Anni while she walked off. He didn't make a sound though::

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to the collar then back over her shoulder. Stepping into the chamber she moved over to the chest of her things then placed it in there on top, closing it she moved back to where they were gathered. She sat back down looking to Tor whom would always be Aries to her.

HS melina HS: ::the girl had grown unusually quiet...and unusually distant, her gaze on the fire::

Annique AIIure: ::She would then move up again to take that dagger she had stabbed on the floor, placing it back to where she had it before then stepped back to sit down::

Acheron Sinis: Everyone had become so quiet. Even himself. He stood finally...He walked over to the warmth of the fire and stood by it..

NorthernWanderer: ::Tor remained perfectly silent now though he did look up when Anni returned.::

HS melina HS: ::the view of the fire blocked by Acheron now, she let her eyes wander back over to Tor and Annique for a time...silent...deadly silent::

Annique AIIure: I need to go check on something...I will return :: she rose and moved to Papo a kiss to his cheek then she turned to head out to check on the children ::

Acheron Sinis: He said nothing...He looked to her silently after that kiss to his cheek, watching her as she walked away. He then looked to Tor."There is nothing more between you and my woman...Is there..?"

NorthernWanderer: ::Tor looked back to Papo then but remained seated in silence until the man spoke:: More?

Acheron Sinis: He looked to him. "Other than...You were her slave.."

NorthernWanderer: Other than that, no.

Acheron Sinis: He nodded. He would take his word.

HS melina HS: ::the girl fidgetted in her precarious position pressed to the floor. her cheek was beginning to hurt, and she craved to stretch her sore muscles::

Acheron Sinis: He then walked over to the girl...Gripping hold to her by her hair...He held to her like that firmly, guiding her up to her feet...Then he moved her to Tor. "She is yours."

HS melina HS: ::squeaking as Acheron moved to her and swiftly guided her back to Tor by her mane. damn, how did they all know her weakness?::

Acheron Sinis: He left her bound...He handed to him that rope still around her neck and binding her hands behind her back.

NorthernWanderer: ::He watched while the man lifted the girl to her feet and then brought her to him. He looked to the girl then and back up to Papo then. He nodded and looked to the girl for a moment:: Kneel girl. ::he took the rope from Papo then and without a second thought, he jerked on the rope, pulling the girl down to her knees::

Acheron Sinis: "Be sure to have her properly trained. There is little tolorance for her kind here.."

HS melina HS: ::icy blues peeked up to Tor, then lowered them back down as she melted to her knees at His feet. head bowed low::

Acheron Sinis: 'You will find the High Jarl of Fehu Isa to be a fair man. As are the others residing here.."

HS melina HS: ::her kind? meaning what? she winced hearing Acheron::

NorthernWanderer: High Jarl? ::he looked up then with a raised eyebrow::

Acheron Sinis: He smiled a little..."Not high jarl of the whole of Torvaldsland...Just this community...Fehu Isa.."He returned to his seat. "I will not make mention that you were a slave to my woman.That would not fair well."

HS melina HS: ::settled back on her heels which were crossed beneath her, the girl arched her back slightly to give viewing pleasure to both men, her thighs parted wide. she held her head up, icy gaze lowered in submission::

NorthernWanderer: ::he chuckled quietly and nodded for a moment before he looked to the girl at his feet. He lifted his booted foot then and placed it back to the floor, pulling the rope down even further forcing the girls cheek to the ground::

NorthernWanderer: Wether you mention it or not, it still happened. ::he looked to the man then and laughed quietly before he lifted the longknife and returned it to the sheath hidden under his vest. he then returned the two daggers to the sheaths in his boots::

HS melina HS: ::damn, not this position again. with a soft whimper she melted to the floor, cheek flush against it::

Acheron Sinis: "Better it comes from you...Then from me...Or the Magistrate. I will inform Marius to say nothing."

NorthernWanderer: Marius?

Acheron Sinis: "Yes...The Magistrate. His name is Marius Canute."

NorthernWanderer: ::when the girl wimpered, his foot shifted closer to the collar, pressing her cheek harder to the floor. He looked down for a momentthen:: Silence, girl. ::He looked back to Papo then and nodded:: As I said, it will come out sooner or later.

Acheron Sinis: "As I said...Better it comes from you."

NorthernWanderer: ::He looked down to the girl again and removed his boot, and dropped the rope to the floor:: Water girl, harta. ::he looked back to Papo then:: Would you like anything?

Acheron Sinis: "Water.."

HS melina HS: ::she nodded to Them both and quietly crawled back to roll to her feet. with a graceful turn upon her heel, she moved off towards the kitchen to fetch the men their water. golden mane bouncing freely in a silken waterfall down her backside.::

Acheron Sinis: He watched the girl move off.

NorthernWanderer: I do not mean to impose, Papo, but I will be needing somewhere to sleep, and I lack coin...

Acheron Sinis: "Of course."

Acheron Sinis: I will have a bondmaid lead you to a guest room."

HS melina HS: ::the girl disappeared into the kitchen and murmured quietly to herself as her hands were still bound behind her. damnit all. she sighed, but spied the KM and purred out quietly:: Master, i require Your help in procuring two botas of water...please?::she begged softly. The KM looked at her and her predicament, a slow smile curling his thin lips. with a curt nod, the KM pulled down two botas. He looked to her and smirked:: hmmm, and how are you going to fetch the water, girl? ::she looked to Him and shook her head:: looks like You will have to help me with that too, aye?::she smiled shyly up to Him. with a shake of His head, the KM turned and walked off for a few moments to pour water into the botas for her. ::

NorthernWanderer: That is much appreciated. ::he chuckled quietly and nodded::

Acheron Sinis: Papo would have seen to it that Tor had a room. He would also inform Franz he had a guest and the man's slave in the hall.

NorthernWanderer: ::he reached into his pack then, producing two small pieces of fruit. One, he tossed to Papo before he took a bite of the other. He chewed slowly, enjoying the flavor before he looked to Papo once more:: What employment is available here?

HS melina HS:::Returning, the Man hefted the botas not so gingerly over her shoulders and slapped her ass to get her going. she squeaked and thanked Him as she scampered out, only to slow her pace once she entered the main room of the hall. she moved quietly back over to Master's feet, and dipped her head, teeth pulling the one bota off her left shoulder, offering it up to Him with a strained neck::

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked down at the girl and took another bite of his fruit then. He waited until he finished with that bite, content to let the girl strain. Perhaps she would learn to be quiet. He finally reached down and took the bota from her, setting it in his lap::

Acheron Sinis: He leaned back into his seat and quietly watched Tor with the girl.

HS melina HS: ::the girl silently waited to be allowed to serve Acheron next, eyes downcast. she was very much humbled this night::

Acheron Sinis: The young man knew the ways of their world, and the place of a slave. In Papo's mind, Tor had endured long enough. Twenty vars...A long time. He deserved a chance at real freedom.

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked down at the girl then and frowned when she didn't finish with her orders. His booted foot lifted and was placed on her head. He pushed her over backwards then and motioned her off to the kitchen::

HS melina HS: ::there were two botas, one on her left shoulder, and the other on her right...she had given him his bota and the one on the other shoulder was waiting to be given to Acheron. she blinked and frowned as she was pushed backwards::

NorthernWanderer: Finish your serve, girl.

Acheron Sinis: Such was the life of slaves. He simply looked on.

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked to Papo then. Perhaps his question hadn't been heard:: What employment is there to be had in Fehu Isa for someone like me?

Acheron Sinis: "There is work at the docks...And Builders need strong hands."

HS melina HS: ::without a word of protest, the girl moved back to her kneel at Acheron's feet, graceful and beautiful even if she was still tied up. she dipped her head to snatch up the bota with her teeth and proffered it up to Acheron, sweet neck strained::

Acheron Sinis: He then looked to the girl. He removed his gloves and set them to the table and then took the bota from the girl. A simple nod was given in dismal to her to return to her Jarl.

HS melina HS: ::it was very hard to keep quiet as she was very chatty at times. but, it was true, she was a very humbled woman tonight. at His gesture of dismissal, the girl offered a gentle smile of thanks and quietly took her place back at Tor's feet, eyes on His feet::

NorthernWanderer: ::He nodded then and liftd the bota to take a short drink before he set it back in his lap before he took another bite of the fruit. When the girl returned to his feet, she found the rope attached to her collar under his boot once again and her cheek forced to the floor once more::

Acheron Sinis: He took a drink from the bota...Silently looking to Tor and his slave.

NorthernWanderer: Work at the docks you say? What needs doing?

HS melina HS: ::she bit her bottom lip to keep from making any sound at all. cheek again pressed to the floor cruelly. there was going to be a bruise for sure in the morning. she heard her heart beating loudly within her chest and she prayed it to quiet down::

Acheron Sinis: "The usual repairs...And the continuance of an extention they are building. You may also be able to find work at the Smithy.." He looked to him.."This is a growing community that is becoming a city."

NorthernWanderer: ::He nodded then and took another drink:: I do appreciate your help. ::he closed the bota again and set it back on the table next to him::

Acheron Sinis: Papo nodded. He was fair."Would you like to go to your room now..?"

NorthernWanderer:[color=Navy Not at the moment. Thank you though. I am quite happy just to sit for now.

[/color]Acheron Sinis: He nodded.

NorthernWanderer: If you need to go, feel free. I'll not take up your time.

HS melina HS: ::she was aching to be able to sit...or stand...or kneel...any position was better than having her cheek pressed harshly to the cold floor::

Acheron Sinis: If Papo needed to go...he would. He had nowhere to go at that time. He did contemplate fetching a slave though to amuse himself.

HS melina HS: ::a slight squirm given as she tried to make herself comfortable in her position upon the floor::

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked down at the girl at his feet and then took another drink of water. He picked up his foot from the rope then and when she tried to squirm, she found the sole of his boot on the back of her neck, keeping her pressed against the floor firmly::

HS melina HS: ::her squirming stopped immediately::

Acheron Sinis: He simply watched as Tor humbled his slave. Male domination at its very core.

Annique AIIure: :: after checking on the children she came back down that long hall and into the main area where they were gathered::

Acheron Sinis: He heard Anni's footfalls and looked over to her.

HS melina HS: ::Male domination most definitely. she heard footfalls but remained still. there would be no movement from her, no words of greeting until permitted::

Annique AIIure: :: she needed that time away looking to what was going on she made her way over to Papo offering a soft smile. She turned to look to Tor and to the girl with smirk::

NorthernWanderer: ::Without removing his foot from the back of the girl's neck, he looked over when the sound of footfalls on the floor sounded out and he offered a polite nod and smile to Anni then before he removed his foot from the back of the girl's neck:: Serve the Lady, girl.

Acheron Sinis: He had resided himself for the past hand to his own company more or less. He did smile a little to Anni.

HS melina HS: ::the girl smiled over to Annique and moved to kneel at Her feet in a modest tower position:: greetings again, Mistress, please might this humble slave be of service tonight?

Annique AIIure: no I am fine girl ::she looked to Papo then:: so is he considered free?

Acheron Sinis: He nodded an answer..

Annique AIIure: ah :; she looked to the girl and waved her away ::

HS melina HS: ::she returned quietly back to her Jarl's feet, immediately positioning herself with her cheek pressed to the floor before He had a chance to::

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked down at the girl then when she immediately placed her cheek to the floor. He nodded bit, not that she would see though before he took another drink of his water::

Annique AIIure: So the girl is now yours.... :: she looked to Tor::

NorthernWanderer: She is. ::he looked to Anni and nodded before he took another bite of his fruit. He reached into his pack then and pulled out a third piece, offering it to Anni then::

Annique AIIure: no thanks :: she looked to him then moved to sit down. She looked to the fire a moment then back to him:: so you are staying here?

HS melina HS: ::she gave a little nuzzle to Tor's feet, keeping her cheek pressed firmly to the floor. ears perked at the conversation between Anni and Tor::

Acheron Sinis: He was quietly watching...Listening.

NorthernWanderer: I am. ::he nodded to Anni while he tucked away the piece of fruit and finished his. He put the pit away to be discarded later then before he took another drink of water. He looked down then when the girl nuzzled his boot and then looked back up at Anni without even acknowledging the girl:: Unless it is going to cause a problem?

Annique AIIure: why would it?

HS melina HS: ::icy blues wandered around the room from her vantage point on the floor, taking in everything she could to memory::

NorthernWanderer: ::he shrugged a bit then:: I was just stating...

Annique AIIure: You are free to do as you wish. :: she looked over to Papo not sure what arrangements have been made in her absence:: The girls have already made a room ready for him ?

Acheron Sinis: "There are rooms already available. A slave can lead him when he wishes it."

Annique AIIure: :: nods softly::

NorthernWanderer: ::he looked between Anni and Papo for a few moments then:: How long have the two of you been together?

Acheron Sinis: "Four vars.."
.
NorthernWanderer: ::he nodded and smiled:: Congratulations.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to him a moment then smiled a little to Papo::

Acheron Sinis: "Thank you.." he said as he looked to him..He smiled calmly..

Annique AIIure: thank you :: she glanced back to Tor::

NorthernWanderer: ::he nodded a bit and leaned back in his chair then, stretching his legs::

HS melina HS: ::she'd offer her congrats too, but she didn't wish to risk getting belted by her Jarl::

Annique AIIure: :; she looked to Papo then moved over to him::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Anni as she drew closer to him.

Annique AIIure: :: she kissed his cheek::

Acheron Sinis: He smiled gently to her kiss..

Annique AIIure: :; leaning back then she moved to speak softly to him::

HS melina HS: ::as Tor stretched out His legs, she closed her eyes in hopes his boots didn't connect with her poor head::

Acheron Sinis: He nodded hearing her.

NorthernWanderer: ::He didn't even look at the girl right now, much less touch her. He looked around the room for a few moments before he took another long drink form his bota of water, finishing it. He did nudge the girl with his boot then, lifting her head a bit before he held the bota down to her::

Annique AIIure: :; she leaned back and this time she kissed him softly as her hand moved to brush along face::

Acheron Sinis: He found he could not hold anger at her..

HS melina HS: ::she looked to the bota and back up to Him, purring out quietly:: another bota of water, my Jarl?::she then took the bota's string in between her teeth::

NorthernWanderer: No girl.

Acheron Sinis: Not for long anyway..

Annique AIIure: :; emeralds locked to his a moment then she winked, turning to look to Tor:: sleep well :: she then turned and moved back to their chambers for the night::

NorthernWanderer: ::he nodded and smiled then:: Perhaps.

Acheron Sinis: He looked to her and watched her move off. He stood then...He looked to Tor..."I will see you in the morning."

HS melina HS: ::the girl offered a gentle nod to the retreating Mistress and moved to return the bota to the kitchen, silks clinging to every curve of slender body::

Acheron Sinis: He then moved to the door and grabbed his black cloak.

HS melina HS: ::she was returning just in time to see Acheron standing to leave as well. a deep respectful nod given to Him and she smiled::

Acheron Sinis: He had looked to Tor and his slave girl."Be well."

NorthernWanderer: Be well.

Acheron Sinis: He nodded with a strong smile and then left the Hall.
