Natasha's words fell on deaf ears as Georgiana watched the slave from the corner of her eye, in shock that he would clean his fingers of crumbs in such a way while at the table. He seemed young but not young enough for it to be excusable. More than that, though, she loathed the looks he was getting for it and the distinct lack of disgust coming from the rest at the table.

"Rene," she said suddenly, cutting off her sister's unknown words as she cleared her throat and pointed to the napkin before him at the table. "We use those here."

GoblinFae

Rene startled slightly at her voice, having been so focused on what he was doing that he did not realize when he had once more gained his Mistress's attention. Slowly he glanced back and forth between Georgiana and the square of neatly pressed fabric she was pointing to. He could guess her meaning but far preferred to innocently annoy the living daylights out of her.

Gingerly, he picked up the cloth, careful to not sully it with his hands. Then with a wide-eyed gaze, Rene offered the napkin to Georgiana, holding it out gently in front of her. "Did you need this, Mistress?"

The noblewoman immediately recognized the gesture for what it was, a forced smile with far too much sweetness oozing from it plastered to her face. She gently refused the small piece of cloth, waving her hand softly and shaking her head before gesturing at his person.

"I do not, thank you for your consideration, though. I only meant it is proper here to...use one yourself. No matter how small the mess," she explained, lifting a hand to mimic the action of modestly patting at one's lips. Her eyes flickered to stare into his own, a sudden sharpness there that dared him to try disobeying her now.

GoblinFae

"For...what?" he asked slowly and quietly, looking at the white cloth curiously as if it would suddenly provide all the answers to the universe. He attempted to copy her action with his own hand as the other continued to hold the napkin limply. While Rene understood her look, he was being mostly serious about his question. Dining in his homeland was a vastly different experience than dining in Serendipity. He hardly knew what to do with himself especially when dealing with such a fickle Mistress. One moment she was as sweet as sugar and the next as bitter as coffee.

Her eyes widened in shock before narrowing questioningly. Did he really think her that stupid? She didn't realize he was genuinely confused, too taken aback by the fact he was even asking. But there was nothing else to do at a social table besides humor him and show kindness.

"To clean the crumbs from your lips," she offered gently, her smile as sweet and innocent as anything as she reached across to carefully guide the hand holding the napkin towards his mouth. Lightly pressing her thumb against his lower lip with it she wiped gently at the tiny flecks of pastry that remained upon him.

"That's better," she murmured cheerfully, smiling proudly for her bit of "work" and patting his cheek lightly before she would lean away again.

GoblinFae

Rene recoiled slightly before controlling himself to be still for her ministrations. Her gentle and almost motherly touch was completely unexpected especially in the face of what he thought would be a potential slap. "Thank you, Mistress," he whispered quietly and without any of his usual vinegar. His cheeks had even flushed in surprise for the gentle pat that followed.

"Is there anything you require, Mistress," the slave floundered to ask. He hoped that by focusing his mind on her orders would allow him to settle back into his original feelings for her. Rene did not particularly enjoy the warmth that came from her kind ministrations.

"No," she answered gently, smiling with a warmth she'd yet to bestow upon him privately. It was easier somehow when they could be at least vaguely civil with one another and not at each other's throats.

"Only that you enjoy your breakfast. We have a long day ahead of us," she reminded him gently, smiling some even though mentally she was dreading the ride back. At least on horseback she could see and anticipate the road conditions. In a carriage she was blinded and at the mercy of every bump, slope, or obstacle they might encounter along the way.

Catherine suddenly called to her across the table, smiling as she looked between them excitedly, "Georgiana you should bring him along next time!" A wave of excited, mumbled agreement followed in her wake and the red-haired woman lifted her eyes to look at her friend with a nod of acknowledgement.

"If he is well and feels like performing," she promised, though privately she never wished him to stir such jealousy in her ever again as he had the night before. "Art cannot be rushed."

A few giggles bounced around them and their host let it lie with a nod, satisfied that she at least had a verbal promise.

It was only an hour or so later that the energy at the table dissipated, the young women excusing themselves and saying their goodbyes one after another to return to their families and homes. Georgiana eyed her sister questioningly and with Natasha's acknowledging smile as her blessing moved to stand and do the same.

She hurried around the end of the table to give Catherine a hug goodbye, sharing a short exchange of words that spoke of friends who knew they would see one another again soon enough. Then, she turned to beckon Rene and her younger sister.

Rolling her eyes Natasha gestured for the slave to follow her with a whispered, "Come on."

GoblinFae

The slave ate in silence, completely on edge though in anticipation of Georgiana's sudden change in good humor. She was not acting normal, certainly not in a manner he considered normal for her at least. He wondered if she was even being extra sweet because of what had happened the night before and she had finally planned out her punishment for him and was just biding her time for when they were in private again.

It was therefore with great dread and trepidation that he followed her sister Natasha in excusing himself from the table and slowly trudging after her as if to a death sentence. Rene's eyes remained trained on the floor as his feet shuffled soundlessly across the polished floor. The earlier sweets sat heavily in his stomach like a great, big ball of sticky, unwanted mud.

Try to keep appearances normal, Georgiana didn't hurry as she made her way back out to the hall. She waited at the door for the others, eyes lingering questioningly upon Rene even though she said nothing of what was on her mind.

"Natasha, have our bags fetched, would you?" She smiled with perhaps a bit too much sweetness, her sister glowering at her request. Georgiana, as the elder, seemed to always assume her younger sister would gladly do whatever she asked. Which was correct, Natasha didn't like denying her sister no matter how annoying her request might have been.

"Of course, sister," she agreed with a sigh, offering Rene a smile and a playful roll of her eyes towards Georgiana. "I'll meet you out front."

"Perfect," the red-haired sister purred, reaching out to lightly pat at Rene's shoulder, turning to usher him further down the hall and away from their hostess and the others. "Did you enjoy your meal?" she asked gently. "You didn't speak of it."

GoblinFae

"Yes, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress. Forgive me for not saying so earlier. Next time I will be sure to do so, Mistress." Rene could not stumble over his words fast enough in hopes of appeasing her and deflecting attention from himself. At any moment she would surely unleash her fury upon his hide.

Perhaps she would sell him off or make him do hard, manual labor. The very idea made him cringe inside. Rene's soft skin had remained unblemished for years. He was a soft creature, accustomed to pampering and leisure. He would not survive long days spent pushing his body to the brink on little food and sleep.

"Is there something more I can do for you, Mistress?"

His nervousness was quite clear, much to her disappointment. Georgiana studied him curiously, his rushed politeness somewhat unusual in her eyes but not so much that she wanted to call him out on it.

"You don't have to lie to me," she clarified. "If you don't enjoy it then simply tell me so. Would make things much easier." She rubbed at her temple briefly, moving to lead him towards the front hall that would lead them out to their carriage.

Instead of directly answering him she chose to change the subject. "Tell me why you were showing off at the breakfast table," she demanded gently, glaring out of the corner of her eye, cautious that they were still in someone else's home and could be noticed by others if someone were to round a corner at an inopportune moment. "I can't even begin to imagine a reason that was entirely necessary."

GoblinFae

Rene bit his tongue to keep his thoughts to himself. It would not do him any good to argue with her at this dangerous state of affairs. He had no way of knowing after all what mood she was in and when the punishment he was so sure he was owed, would be brought down upon him.

"I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Mistress. Did I displease you, Mistress? Did I bring you shame in front of your...acquaintances?" He swallowed drying, his jaw set for a strike he was prepared to accept even as he kept his eyes faced forward. He could almost feel the fire of her gaze upon his skin and hoped that if he only kept himself in check he might escape the inferno with only a slight bit of singeing.

Georgiana furrowed her brow, frowning at his counter-questions. "No, nothing like that," she muttered."Did you not see the looks you were getting?" She scoffed, rolling her eyes in disbelief, though at least half of them had been imagined by her.

"You were putting on a show," she accused in a hushed tone, her own insecurity and possessiveness finally showing her claws. "They were loving it, Rene. They would have been dying for a man even half as handsome as you to treat them like you were treating me! But it was just a show. You're giving beaus and husbands across the country a bad name and an impossible standard to live up to now!"

GoblinFae

"People always look at me, Mistress. I don't exactly fit the mold of your people after all. Even among my own I am considered special. I am used to such looks. I assure you there was no show, Mistress. I cannot help if your men do not meet the standard the rest of us do, Mistress," he added smugly with a tiny bit of a smirk. "Have you not already pointed out, Mistress that your own gentleman is not good enough for you?"

"It's not about the mold." Her eye twitched slightly as she fought a scowl and instead simply pouted at him petulantly.

Georgiana glanced around to ensure they were still alone before answering in a hushed tone, "Yes. I have said that. But it's not him, think of the others! These women will be jealous of what they...can't have," she explained, gesturing down the hall with her hand.

"They see you acting like that and- and they'll wonder why they can't have something like- Well, back there!" she explained with a huff, rolling her eyes as if it should have been obvious.

"And besides it's all a ruse. You're only nice to me when people might be watching you. That was definitely a show," she accused.

GoblinFae

Rene froze at her accusations. He suddenly realized that perhaps she was right. If people liked his perfect attitude then they too would want slaves and perhaps would even work to steal more of his unaware people to fulfill their selfish needs. He felt his stomach turn violently at the implication as all his fire was extinguished as if a mighty wind had blown by. His heart ached fiercely in shame at his own foolishness.

"Would you rather I was terrible in public so you can beat me and lock me away? Is there no way for me to behave that would end your anger with me? If I behave poorly you blame me. If I behave properly you curse me. Either way I damn myself. I did what you wanted and still you are not happy! And now because of my perfect behavior you tell me I may be the reason that many more of my people will be forced to suffer and share in the same fate as myself. What would you have me do? There is no answer here where I please you. I pay the price either way!"

Juno

Georgiana furrowed her brow in confusion, uncertain where he'd drawn that assumption about his people from. After thinking on it and how difficult it had seemed for Rene to be secured for her she doubted such a thing would be possible on a larger scale. And besides, she didn't want it to become a trend at all, she truly wanted to free him once the fires had settled and his newness wore off among her circle. Then he would be able to return to his home, it seemed a simple enough plan to her. Yet Rene continued to antagonize her, it felt as if he didn't trust her sincerity and that thought...stung somehow.

"Please, Rene. I didn't mean it that way I only- I just hate seeing that you can be that way. Nice. But with me alone you aren't nice at all. I only meant that others might show interest in you and...I want exactly the opposite so that they will not miss you once you're free again. I don't wish to beat you and lock you away at all."

She scoffed at the idea, her brow furrowing with hurt that he couldn't seem to find it in himself to trust her, not even a little. Wasn't she all that he had? Wouldn't it be in his favor to go along with what she asked? Did he simply not believe her promises? "I'm sorry it's just...difficult to see you that way. Kind and charming and gentle...when you're so cold towards me. Which is the real you?"

GoblinFae

"If you don't want me to be memorable then stop parading me around like your little pet," he hissed back. "They will forget what they do not see, especially when they find a new toy to amuse them. No, Mistress, I do not believe you. I find you selfish."

Rene gritted his teeth as his lips pulled back across his teeth in disgust. "You don't want to know me. You just want a performance. You don't deserve my kindness. You take everything and you make promises. But what good are those when I am still your slave? What then Mistress? What kindness do you expect of me? What more do you demand of this worthless one?"

He fell to his knees beside her though there was no submission in his posture or gaze as his chest heaved with his angered breaths and his eyes burned with his fury. "Is this how you would have me? Shall I beg for the existence and freedom of myself and my people? You hate what I can be? Well I hate what you make me!"

The Maoin bit his lip hard then, his head dropping to glare at the floor as he fought back angry tears. The vile poison that had been tugging at his heart had been let loose again along with his fears of punishment for their earlier actions. The fact she had said or did nothing about it still had him on edge and if she was going to delay then he might as well force her hand, or so he thought. The anticipation would be the death of him. Rene dug his nails into his folded knees as he remained completely still and quiet before her at last. He cursed himself for being the fool though everything he said was stated in fearful truth. All he wanted was to be free, was that so hard to understand?

Juno

Georgiana stared at him, trying hard to keep the hurt from her expression as her lips drew into a tight line. He was wrong, but how could she convince him of it? He didn't trust her and had no reason to believe her promises. It stung that her care of him so far was not convincing enough, that he would rather fight her every step of the way when he could have very easily landed in the hands of an abusive master.

"Please stand up," she finally muttered, setting a hand to his shoulder. "I will not have you beg. I am sorry that things are this way but for now they must be this way. If you choose not to believe me that is your own burden to carry. I have no reason to lie to you and I swear that I have been honest with you and will continue to be."

She breathed a heavy sigh, her brow furrowing in frustration as she turned her eyes to peer down the hall. "I do want to know you but you refuse to let me."
