The Café Chateau

[snoozebutton]

Walking around the grounds I saw the beauty of the mist from the forest. I also saw the warning signs posted in a few places and knew better than to tempt fate. Seeing as it was close to breakfast I returned to my quarters. Checking my laptop I saw I had a email from Grunt.I quickly returned Grunts email, "Don't worry old friend she will always have her work to do, I made sure she understood. She will never be late, maybe a little sore from time to time." I knew Gertrude still needed that lifeline to her source of strenght right now. Being in a senior position made her feel strong. She had a few secrets I knew that made her need that strenght. I will have to slowly open her mind so she can let all that old poison out. It will take time but she will be so much better for it.

*The end of my evening*

After spending a few hours with EKVITKAR, i decided to head back to my room. He had promised me a chance to discuss this newest facet tomorrow afternoon. I told Him that da grunt wanted me to take care of His cat and that the cat would be in my room now, scared and alone. EKVITKAR kissed my forehead and sent Bercha to lead me back to my room.

Once back in my room, I stripped down and went to the shower. My body was quite sore from the loving brutality He had put me through. I was sure i would have markings galore on the morrow!!

Then it was journal writing time.


Tonight opened up a new possiblity for me. Da Grunt offered me the chance to become a trainer. Part of me relishes that idea. Teaching someone (male or female) the way to give joyful, complete service has always been something I have always wanted to do. Until my last 2 relationships, i had had a pet that i was training. Things went awry when i met my ex fiance' and then Vicki. It was GOOD to be in control, to relish that control over another person.

And i have noticed that the quality of my submissiveness to HIM has not changed in the least. As a matter of fact, it feels more fulfilling somehow.

Ach, the morning comes early. I am for bed.

The grunt departs

Before dawn the grunt awakens. Time to go He slipped from the bed and spent some time on the shitter and at the sink and took a quick shower.

He was headed toward a contract he had agreed to, a contract which would be etremely profitable for the Chateau, and could provide further protection for the Chateau. Never without risks, however.

He donned a fresh black undershirt and brown turtleneck, his leather pants and boots and he was out the door, no time for breakfast. Now he donned his riding jacket.

To the garage he went and to his crimson sport touring motorcycle, one pandellierre with his bag of toys and one with other necessities.

The helmet, crimson, too, but a dragon adorned it. The gloves, rawhide and well oiled. Key, choke, starter, warm it up for a minute and the grunt was in the wind, fringe whipping behind him.

Moira wakes early and completes her physical exercises, then showers and dresses for work. She arrives at the kitchen in plenty of time to prepare da grunt's breakfast and get it to him on time.

Taking the tray in hand, she quietly walks to grunt's room, knocking gently and then going in, only to find him gone.

Confused, Moira rechecks the order and finds that, yes, she was supposed to serve breakfast at this time. Finally she decides to jsut leave a note to let him know she had obeyed his order, and then she left, taking the tray with her.

Back in the kitchen she begins preparing the dough for the bread for the day, then prepares the fruit for squeezing ... and as the rest of the kitchen staff arrive, the day is off to a busy beginning.

Morning

I awaken at sun-up, pleased to note the presence of da grunt's beautiful feline, who is laying at the end of my single bed. I do a quick bit of energy play, using my aura to attune with hers and give her a slight energy boost. She *yowls* sleepily at me and bats my hands away. I chuckle and head to the bathroom, time to shower and shave.

Then tis time for stretching and meditation. I love the feel of my muscles as they stretch and warm up. Getting into lotus, i spend 20 minutes or so, activating each chakra and building up my aural shield...something i have neglected for a LONG while. Finally, i say a quick devotion and head to my dresser.

"Time to dress and face the day."

Dressed in a warm-up suit, i decide to take a stroll around the grounds. I *ask* Sheva if she would like to come along. She gives me a patented cat grin and stetches before easing herself from my cot and winding herself around my ankles. I guess my little energy booster made her feel a little better. I pick her up and cuddle her close and head out, into the early morning air.

 

[shysexkitten]

the pounding that i felt on my chest as he swung at the sand bag was intense. His blows almost knocked me off balance. I could feel his power his stregnth. I was informed that i too would learn how to fight. We then went to the sauna. It was so hot and dry one could barley breath but i soon found myself suckkling at grunts cock just as he commanded. His soft big cock i sucked between my lips trying to take it all in. I got him hard just as he commanded when i felt him move. He positioned me differently and we fucked. It was so hot the dry heat made the sex all the better. I felt his juices squirt within me and as soon as i had felt his warm juice he grabbed my wrist with his strong hand and headed for a dip......It was so cold i couldnt take it he laughed at the sight. We then showered he washed I and i cleaned him making sure not to miss a spot. We went to his room i crawled into bed and drifted off to sleep. I woke in the middle of the night finding him next to me...I drifted happily off to sleep.



The next day i woke and he was gone, he had gone on a buisness trip. I decided to head to the gym....

 

[Guest]

When she was close to the end of her stroll she looked up and saw the long coat of a familiar figure.
He turned and smiled at her.

"Hello Dear One, working out the soreness from last night?. And who is your delightful friend here?.

"Da Grunt asked me to watch his kitty while he was away on business - "

"Well, he couldn't have made a better choice."

He knelt and presented an open hand to the adult cat. She sniffed, thought about it for a few moments, and then rubbed against the proffered surface.
A quick chuckle and a scratch behind the ears.
He rose and regarded the woman.

"Ahhh Beautiful one. Hmm How about breakfast, and then I have a surprise for you. Call it a late Samhain gift."

He thought for a moment.

"Bring the kitty along. I seriously doubt they will refuse to feed Grunt's cat. After all he might refuse to flog them for such an infraction."

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

Breakfast and a Gift??

Sheva responds to His hands in almost the same way I do. Tis a shame really, the way that man brings out the animal in me!! He says He wants to eat and give me a gift of sorts. I wonder what it could possibly be?

We head inside, Sheva purring loudly in my ear as I carry her. I think my little energy boost earlier made her pretty happy. I walk a few steps behind Him, the better to study Him as He leads the way. I think His walk is probably one of the most sexiet things about Him..confident and real.

Once we arrive in the dining area, i put Sheva down. She walks, almost aimlessly, until she finds a corner to her liking. He and I head to a table near her particular corner. He places our orders (no eggs for me) and we make small talk 'til our food arrives.

Sheva meanders back over to me...I figure she must be hungry and ask someone to get her breakfast in order. (I assume someone knows just what it is this beautiful kitty eats!!!!!!!) The food is perfectly prepared, as always, and our breakfast is leisurely. Tis a good day, so far!!

 

[Guest]

"Ahhhh- Much Gusto...."

He pushed himself back from the table a bit, and found his coffee cup.

"And how are you doing Dear, care for anything else? No?
Well then, finish up your juice, and we will go get your present."

When she had finished the requisite glass, he led her away from the table and into the Chateau proper.
They walked past the parts that she was familiar with, into a new section of the Chateau.

"Perhaps we should leave Grunts kitty here, I am not to sure about taking her off the grounds. No? Ok. Hmmm"

He pulled out his PDA and made a few entries.

When they got to the garage they found Shy waiting for them.

"Good morning dear, I need an extra set of hands for what we are doing. You just became official secondary kitty watcher."

He directed them toward a large black limousine, beside which a hulking figure was waiting. He held the door so that the ladies and their burden could enter.
Spent a moment in whispered conversation with the driver, then got in himself.

"Oh, SHy, just for the record, that is the Grunts kitty. If anything happens, he will no doubt take a good shot at doing away with the lot of us. But, I figure I will have a couple of days grace in which to deal with the party responsible. Got it?."

She looked very nervous as she nodded. Probably something about his teeth. And his eyes.
They approached the tunnel on the other side of the Chateau property, passed into darkness.
WHen they passed into the light again, it was very obvious to all who looked, that they were far from where thay started.
He had to stifle a chuckle at Shy's expression, she wasn't used to this kind of thing yet.
After a few more minutes of travel they turned down a smooth gravel road, and passed into a wooded area. A few minutes more and they pulled up to the front of a small house. Obviously abandoned.

"Ok Shy, you wait here for a few, we'll be right back."

He opened the door without waiting for the driver to exit and stepped out. Turned, helped Pet to alight, and shut the door.

"Dear One, normally I would take your arm, but at the moment I want my hands free. Understood?"

SHe thought about what was under the long coat and nodded. But took a stronger, longer, look at the house they were approaching.

"Yes SIr."

He looked back at her and raised an eyebrow. Chuckled.
They reached the porch and he stepped up. Sniffed.

"Ok Dear One, go in and get your present. It's ok, there is no one else here."

She gave him a questioning look, then tried the doorhandle. It turned easily and the door opened with no effort.
WHat she saw inside was a lot of boxes.

"Go ahead Dear, open them."

WHat she found inside, was all the things that she had left behind when life with her former partner became too much to bear.

"Ahem ."

She turned and he could see tears in her eyes. And questions.

"First. No one was hurt. I knew you would want it that way. Second, here."

He handed her an envelope. Opening it she found a set of keys, and a piece of printer paper.

"Your car is already in the Chateau garage, and the paper is the amount you left behind. Now it is in a Chateau account that you can access whenever needed.

Suddenly she was in his arms. And he felt her shudders as she cried.

"Shhhhh Dear One, Shhhh it's alright. "

"Hu .. Hu.. How???"

" Well Darlin, some people have friends in strange places. I have strange friends in places. And thats about all it's good for you to know ok... Now, lets get back to the big house, so you can get the second part of your present."

 

[Cleopatra]

Morning I wrote.


I woke up feeling a little tired, but relatively happy, after last night's events. Talking to Grunt made me think a bit more about the strange goings on in the Library, and after we talked, I got changed and swam in the pool for about an hour before bed.

During the laps, my mind was free to wander as my body exerted itself. After running through about twenty possibilities, the one I kept coming back to was the idea that this power that was manifesting itself in strange ways was actually caused *by* me, not *because* of me.

I think I'll stop by the sickbay and see if they have anything set up for metaphysical testing.

Today I'm taking as a day of rest.

 

[Vixandra]

Keira

I'd slept from around one till nine am, after leaving a message in the Trainer's lounge about Naomi. I did my morning stretches, a bit of Yoga, snagged a Snapple from my personal refriderator and headed down to the clinic.
Naomi was bright eyed and bushy tailed- okay, no tail but the effect was there. She had already risen, slipping on her robe over her hospice gown and began her morning absolutions. I let her finish these before handing her a book I'd brought with me.
"This, dear, is a journal," I told her. "In it you shall write of your times and feelings here at the Chateau. It will not be seen by any other subs unless you show them and is yours."
"Thank you, Keira," she said, running her fingers over the soft blue leather covering the journal. "I shall write now if you don't mind."
I nodded, handing her a pen and went to the large computer terminal on the other side of the room to check in with Kikyo the AI. No, laughing boy Frank hadn't cracked yet- going to have to play with him later. I instruct the computer to return to a lower state of security, to allow the transfer of information in and out and to add Naomi to our rosters and assign her a room in the subs domain. If I felt she was up to it I'd take her there later today. Nothing more I could do for her nursing wise, mercinary wise or anything else other then teaching her to be a graceful addition to the Chateau. Not my strongest point.
I looked up with Cleo walked into the hospice as did Naomi. The sub smiled as if she suddenly found a friend.
"Good morn, Cleo, what brings you here?" I said, pondering over Naomi's reaction to Cleo.

 

[JupitersGirl]

Elena

Diary--

Da grunt has honored me with additional duties to the chateau and I plan to do all that I can to serve him and the chateau to the best of my abilities. Teaching sister subs the art of grace and etiquette will be a simple chore, as they are all anxious to learn any snippet that will enhance their worth. And planning the lessons and mapping out times, etc. for instruction will occupy that part of my day that is idle. Ah.....da grunt....so gruff, yet so cognizant of the needs of those under his charge....not least of all, myself.

I have slept late this morning, as I lay sleepless long into the night. Nothing had come to light concerning the intruders when last I accompanied da grunt to the basement complex where he was being held and if anything has surfaced since that time, he has not seen fit to share it with me. Is this intruder one of the Senators minions? Is it beginning?

The chateau has a long history of protecting its submissives who go out on contract, so this is nothing new here, nor unexpected, but it is new to me....and terrifying. And with da grunt gone for a few days, my anxiety increases.



My anxiety has increased to the point where I am jumping at shadows and inconsequential sounds are magnified. I have to know what is going on...I cannot live with this constant question at my back. As soon as the morning activity calms considerably at the chateau and I have showered and shaved, I slip out of my lockless door into the empty corridor.

Rounding a corner, there is almost a collision as Shy meets me, intent on reaching her tiny room. I reach out, grabbing her shoulders to keep her from walking right into me. "Shy!" I can't help but laugh at her youthful exhuberance. "Whoa! You'll get there."

"I'm sorry, Elena! I have just finished a workout at the gym and I must get cleaned up as I have been summoned to the garage by Mr. Ekvitkar." She was flushed and still bore the sweat from her exertions.

"I'll leave you to it, then, Shy. Will you come to my room later in the day? I would like to begin your lessons as soon as possible. And Shy, I am your sister and friend also, should you ever need an ear." Her gentle smile told me that my offer was appreciated. We agreed to meet later and she was off.

My mind turned back to my purpose as I gained the stairs. It was risky being in this part of the chateau unaccompanied as I was, but no one saw me as I slipped into the grunt's quarters...

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

His gifts...

When we pulled up to the little broken down house, alarm bells clanged loudly in my head. Once He led me inside and i SAW everything He had gotten from Vicki, all the things i had thought i would never again see..well my mind was blown. And my heart..well from that point..my heart was His. The tears i cried were not just tears of pain or bewilderment, they were also tearsof happiness. I knew that my past no longer held anything of value for me. I knew that i was, finally, home.

He led me back to the car, His voice soft and slightly raspy.

"Your things are safe here, for the nonce. I will come out later to pick this stuff up and transport it to the Chateau. Do not worry anymore, about any of this."

He tilted my head up, and looked deeply into my eyes.

"Everything will be fine, ok? And now, let's return to the Chateau. I told you I have something else for you."

The warmth that filled me was quite a welcome change from the emptiness i usually felt. Clambering back into the car and taking Sheva from Shy (who still looked slightly freaked out), I marveled at the Goddess and Her ways.

 

[Guest]

As they settled back into the seats of the limousine he noticed the expression on Shy's face.

"(Chuckle) Don't worry dear, Grunt knows the same thing that I do. Anything that happens is MY responsibility. It's the flip side of being a Dom/me, along with control, comes responsibility. You took my orders, I answer for the results of those orders."

He leaned over and pressed a switch.

"Back to the Chateau please Edward."

He leaned back and pulled Pet to him, held her close at his side.

When they arrived back at the Chateau Ekvitkar took their leave of Edward, and they left the garage by a different door.
When they came out the other side, they were in the hallway between the room of doors, and the hidden elevator.

"Ok Dear One, time for part two."

He led her to a door in the midst of the hall, right next door to her bedroom in fact. He fished in his pocket for a moment and produced a small but long silver box.
He considered it for a moment, then handed it to her.
Shy, still holding Grunts kitty, looked over her shoulder.

When she opened the box, all that was inside was a long, old fashioned, key.

"Well Dear One, open it up."

And he pointed to the door as he spoke.
When she opened the door what she found was an empty room.
Well, almost empty.
Along one wall were racks, and set in the other, were a series of steel rings.

"Hmmmm, a moment..."

He snapped his fingers and the cressets on the walls lit with a subdued pop.

"The cressets are mainly for atmosphere, what can I say, I'm a bit of a traditionalist."

"Well, it's all yours, what do you think? I mean, if Grunt wants you to do a Dommes job too, you will need workspace."

 

[SubChristy]

as i wake up...i see the sun rise. i am to report again to the bar at exactly 10am to help Lilith with the cleaning

as i get up and dress, i can help but look at myself in the mirror. liking what i see...i smile at myself

Lilith sees me walking through the door at 10 am

"am i on time"...i ask

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

The room

My face went red. I know it did, i could feel the heat of it. He looked so pleased with Himself. I guess He approved of Da Grunt's offer, after all.

I threw myself on Him, jumping up slightly to reach His mouth. The kiss was soft; teeth, lips and tongue tip. I could feel His hands cupping my bottom as I slid gently down to the floor.

"Ah, so you are pleased?"

All i could do was giggle. That had to be the biggest understatement of the week!!

A small chirp in my ear took my attention away from Naomi and Cleo who were talking about something involving magic. Such things were beyond me honestly- give me a gun and a whip and I could handle just about anything happily.
At the chirp, I brought up a monitor on the console that linked directly to Kikyo.
What's up? I typed.
There's someone in Grunt's room- he told me to alert you if someone entered without his permission and she's doing so. Kikyo responded.
I frowned. Who?
Elena according to the bioscan and tracking devices Kikyo answered.
I stood up, pushing away from the console. I walked over to the wall and picked up my favorite flogger, anger building inside me. I didn't like people snooping- especially after Cleo's journal had been messed with.
"Naomi, stay here in the hospice unless one of the trainer's comes to get you for lunch. Otherwise, Cook'll probably send some down here. Cleo- you can give her a call and ask for yours to be delivered down here if you like. Kikyo can help with any of the equipment you might want to use."
I left the hospice, my boots clicking sharply on the marble tiles. I entered the hallway that lead to Grunt's room, flogger in my left hand, right free to go for my gun, just in case. The door to his room was slightly ajar, allowing me to peek inside.
Yes, Elena stood there, apparently looking for something. I sighs soundlessly- he wasn't going to like hearing this much. Apparently she was the new "Sub training sub" so to speak so he trusted her.
I entered the room quietly and stole up behind her, footsteps mufled on the thick carpet. I grabbed Elena by the scruff of her neck and flung her to the floor, hearing her gasp in surprise.
"Kneel up," I commanded sharply, not keeping my crossness from my voice.
"How dare you voilate the sanctity of Grunt's room in his absense! No- not a word from you," I told her as I could see she tried to speak. "You've broken a rule- invaded another's privacy without asking and shall be punished for it. Heel!"
A lash from the flogger got her crawling slightly ahead of me. I closed the door behind us and instruced Kikyo to lock it. The AI did so and we proceeded down the hallway. By the time we reached the main corridor, Elena's buttocks and thighs were striped pink and red, tears on her face. Her hair was bound up in a clip on her head, baring her neck and collar. The steel had lost a bit of its shine in her plight.
Herding her down into the basement I whipped her into the room of Fire and Ice. I secured her to a movable harness system rigged on pullys that would bind her while allowing me to possition her as I liked.
"Kikyo," I said.
The AI answered after a moment's delay "Yes?"
"Broadcast this on all monitors in the Chateau, authorization Keira Seele Alpha Zama Tango."
"Authorization accepted," Kikyo chirped and after a few moments of whirling cameras.
"Wait!" Elena begged.
"Delay the broadcasting," I said, approching Elena. "What do you have to say for yourself, E? And it had better be phrased nicely- I am a Domme here whether I act on it daily or not!"
I waited for her answer.

 

[JupitersGirl]

Elena

"Ma'am please! I wasn't in the grunt's things...I just needed to access his computer. I have to find out about the intruder. Please Ma'am! I...I'm afraid I have brought danger to the chateau....I've been half out of my mind with worry!" My tears and the catch in my throat caused me to falter in my pleadings.

A glance at the Domme told me that she was listening, but had not yet made up her mind whether to believe me or not. I took a deep breath and continued, more measured this time. "Ma'am, I have just left Senator Jenkins in the middle of my contract. The grunt doesn't seem concerned, but he doesn't know the Senator like I do. There will be trouble...it may have already begun in the form of your intruder."

As I continued, my voice again grew urgent. "Where is he, the intruder? Let me see him, see if I know him. At least I could tell you if he was a regular in the Senator's retinue." She eyed me coldly, impassively. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but I knew I had to convince her that we could be in danger...

 

[Cleopatra]

Re: Keira

I looked up with Cleo walked into the hospice as did Naomi. The sub smiled as if she suddenly found a friend.
"Good morn, Cleo, what brings you here?" I said, pondering over Naomi's reaction to Cleo.

"Good Morning Keira. Good morning..."I trailed off lamely, not knowing who this was in the medic's room. "I'm Cleo. I'm the Librarian." I offered my hand, and it was taken and my handshake returned by Naomi, she said.

"Keira, I don't want to waste your time, but I was wonderful how you were set up for any metaphysical testing here, or brain acticity testing. I have a theory about the strange shit that has been happening to be."

"Something magical is happening here?" Naomi cut in, abruptly.

My eyebrows raised at the intertuption, but before I could say anything, something computer-related chirped at Keira, and she turned away. Next thing I know, she was picking up a flogger, and tapping it restlessly against her thigh.

"Naomi, stay here in the hospice unless one of the trainer's comes to get you for lunch. Otherwise, Cook'll probably send some down here. Cleo- you can give her a call and ask for yours to be delivered down here if you like. Kikyo can help with any of the equipment you might want to use." Keira threw out and strode out of the room.

"Kikyo, can you help me identify any abnormal or recently-intensified brain activity I might have?"

Next thing I know I was being subjected to quite a panel of tests. And Naomi just kept staring at me, like she knew something I didn't. It was rather disturbing. When we had finished, I asked Kikyo to assemble the data into a report, and send it my quarters.

"I'm sorry I won't be having lunch with you Naomi, but I'm feeling rather tired. I hope you understand." With that I smiled, and headed back to my room, where I locked the door and feel almost immediately asleep.

 

[Vixandra]

Keira

"Ma'am please! I wasn't in the grunt's things...I just needed to access his computer. I have to find out about the intruder. Please Ma'am! I...I'm afraid I have brought danger to the chateau....I've been half out of my mind with worry!" My tears and the catch in my throat caused me to falter in my pleadings.

She eyed me coldly, impassively. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but I knew I had to convince her that we could be in danger...

I can see the fear and pleading in her eyes... what she feels is real, that this is the truth.
"You're lack of faith in my abilities truely wounds me," I said at length. She looked startled. I smiled sharply. "I am entrusted with the safety of this establishment. Kikyo and I watch everything that takes place on the grounds of the Chateau, whether you see the camera or not, we're there. We knew when we had intruders. Now we've Naomi, a telekinetic sub, and Frank a captive. Since you insist, I'll let you see him."
I unharness Elena and push her back down into a crawling possition. "You are not forgiven for tresspassing, mind you, E, but I will allow this to take place before your public punishment."
"Public?" she whispered.
"Aye," I said. "You went outside your chain of command- an difficult to forgive sin. I may forgive you but I don't know if Grunt will. Taking your punshiment well with true repentance will help further that along, E."
I flogged her out of the room of Fire and Ice and down another series of steps to a room next to Frank's cel. He lay in there asleep, a bowl of water and crust of bread untouched next to the door. One wall was a one-way mirror.
"Well, E? Do you know him?"

"Well, E? Do you know him?"

"Oh, and if you can explain why our little TK didn't have tits when I shot her, that would be most apreciated also."

The voice comes out of a dark corner in the back of the room. Ekvitkar steps out into visibility.
E looked shocked, Keira just looked amused.

"Hello Keira, nice of you not to mention my presence till I wandered out."

Much as he would have liked to spend the rest of the evening with his hands wrapped around Lynettes bottom, he still had some work to do, to justify his presence here.
And this gave Pet a chance to work on her workspace.
And he would get to see her, all of her, tonight.

He looks at Elena intently.

"So you are our little alert eh? Bad girl, no treat for you. ANd the Grunt will probably remove whatever of your skin that Keira leaves behind.
But that, is their business."

He looks at their guest and then to Keira.

"Any luck getting the bastard to sing?"

"No, he's either just as tough as he thinks he is. Or he is more scared of something else than he is of us."

"SNRK!!! Thats cause he hasn't met the Grunt yet, has he?
Hmmm Hasn't met me yet either...................."

He turns to Keira.

"Wanna kill two birds with one stone, and perhaps have some fun in the process??"

 

[Vixandra]

Keira

I smiled at Ekvitar. "I'm listening."
I'd seen him in the corner, just barely. If he hadn't breathed as we walked in I probably wouldn't have seen him. I imagin the breathing was for my benefit more then his though I won't admit it infront of Elena.
"Well, E, do you know him? Answer me quickly, child, for neither I nor Ekvitar are known for waiting patiently for important answers."

"I....I'm sorry Ma'am. I didn't know...." my voice trailed off as I, for the first time, realized the insult I had unwittingly dealt. Why had the grunt not told me? Why had he let me wonder and worry that one night my door would be thrown open to a small army of the Senator's henchmen coming to wreak his revenge on me? And with the reminder of da grunt's wrath to follow, I felt a new fear gradually replace the old. What had I, in my fear for myself and the denizens of the Chateau, done?

Turning to the sleeping man in the cell, I carefully studied the outline of his face in repose. Try though I might, I could not place him at the Senator's side. I slowly shook my head, turning to Keira. "It means nothing, though. He could have hired someone, but I had to see, I had to know."

I'm sure my eyes mirrored the misery behind them as I turned my gaze to Ekvitkar, hoping that somehow he could unearth the answer that I sought.

 

[Vixandra]

Keira

I sighed having expected as much. I personally would never have sent a recognisable man to retrieve something of mine if there was a remote chance he might be caught.
"Whether Grunt told you of my status or not, you doubted that he would take care of you," I reminded her, my voice softer. I could understand what she was feeling- how she was miserable with worry but that didn't excuse her actions. She could have brought it up to Ekvitkar or someone else instead of sneaking about. "Your heart was in the right place though your methods were wrong, E."
I could feel her flinch beside me and turned to look at her on the floor- she really was lovely. "You are not fit to train others as of this time, lacking as you are in discipline. We shall start from the beganing, since you obviously need it."
I heard her breath catch. To be taken from the highest sub to the lowest sub was quite a blow but I had to disipline her as well as set an example for all others. "You're lucky I don't tie you to a barrel to be used at anyone's whim! Now, heel, E!"
Turning to Ekvitkar, "Well, sir, what shall we do with this little one? I was imagine a building wide broadcast of her disiplination from the Room of Fire and Ice, or perhaps the Room of Whips- I think that might suit better. You?"
