Once the door was shut behind her, Khero flopped onto the bed, burying her face into her arms. She didn't cry, though; she had teared up out of frustration, but she'd done her crying over the course of the trip to Adela, and she wasn't sure she had anymore frightened, desperate tears left.

And this...she had to admit, it wasn't as bad as it could be. Khero had no doubt that Darius was right, and that she was very, very lucky. She could have gotten someone who would beat her, who would force her to call them master, who would force her to their chambers and hurt her. Darius wasn't a kind man by any means; no kind man would own people against their will, so far as she was concerned.

But he was better than she could have gotten, and despite all her anger and fear...she was grateful. Grateful she hadn't gotten someone cruel.

Still, it was a long time before she could quiet her racing thoughts enough to slip off into sleep, though it wasn't a deep sleep. It never was.

Darius sat awake in his chamber, watching the stars and the moon. Khero had gotten her little scenario out of the way early in the night, but Darius still decided he wouldn't go hunting tonight. Instead, he would likely work through the night, unless something else came up.

After a long and restless sleep, morning finally came, and when Khero opened her eyes, for a moment she didn't realize where she was. For over a week she had traveled in a cramped slaver's wagon; this beautiful room had to be wrong, had to be a dream.

But as grogginess wore off, memory returned to her, and Khero sucked in a breath and pressed the heels of her palms into her eyes.

Last night  felt like a surreal nightmare, but she realized now it had happened. She'd been sold. A powerful mage owned her. And today...was a ball.

Sitting up in bed, her short hair sticking up in the back, she rose to her feet and went to the window to peer outside.  It was a beautiful day.

And she hoped it was beautiful back in Serendipity, too.

Darius had worked through the night, and was already in the dining hall, waiting while his servants prepared his breakfast. He liked to let them eat what they prepared as well, since he could never decide what he wanted to eat, and so he had them prepare multiple meals. Due to that, it was always far more than he could eat himself.

At that moment, a knock would come on Khero's door, and when she opened it she would find another young servant girl standing just outside her doorway.

Khero spun around at the knock, and paused only a moment to straighten her dress (the same one she'd thrown on the night before) before she took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and answered it.

A young serving girl was on the other side, and not Darius as she had expected. Khero looked at her in surprise, and then let out a breath that released some of the tension she was carrying within her.

"Yeah?"

"Lord Darius expects you in the dining hall, miss." The young girl said. "He says it's best for you to not skip any meals, and would like for you to come eat breakfast."

Khero scowled at that, and though she wanted nothing more than to tell Darius to go eat shit, for she was used to going without food and knew she could endure it, she knew that...would not end in her favor. Last night had lost her any trust Darius had in her. If she was going to escape, she had to rebuild that trust, and bide her time.

"Fine," she said at last, and stepped out past the servant. And then she paused and blinked down at the girl.

Wait...

"...Didja say join him?" she asked, eyebrows raised. "As in, eat with him?"

"Well, eat in the dining hall, miss." The young girl said. "I'm sure you will be eating with him if he has not already finished his meal."

The servant took a moment to look Khero over, then smiled. "Lord Darius always has more food prepared than he could possibly eat. He says it's because he can't decide what he wants, but sometimes I feel like he does it intentionally so there's good food for us to have."

Khero went quiet for a moment, finding it all very odd. But then again, there was nothing normal about being a slave, was there? With a look the girl's way, she frowned.

"Yer rather young to be workin' here, ain'tcha?" she said, and knelt down to be more on her level. "Are you a slave, too, hon?"

"I am." The girl said. "It's not so bad, I suppose."

The way the girl talked seemed forced, as if she had been taught to talk a certain way even though it was unnatural for her.

"Well, we should head to the dining hall now."

The way the girl spoke made Khero shudder, and she rose to her feet, instantly feeling protective of her. Maybe it was the big sister in her, but...she didn't like this. She really didn't. A girl this young deserved to be free...

As she started to walk with the girl, she lowered her voice. "The master, is he...does he treat ya well?"

"Lord Darius may seem a bit intimidating at first, but he actually treats us quite well." The girl said with a smile. She was still talking in a forced voice, but the comment sounded as if it were her genuine opinion. "It's definitely a lot better than it could be."

"Yeah, so I've seen. Things could always be worse, yeah?" Khero mumbled, a bit bitterly.

"He ain't skeevy with the women, is he?"
