The Unthinkable Slave Exam
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "Greetings sir I hope you got all the exams I placed in the mailbox."
Alesandro (alex.lavendel): "Yes Lady. I have gotten them all" he answered with an easy smile. "You have been the soul of efficiency." He said warmly. "I - erm. I would like to ask that you do an exam on my Rowena here." he said.
Rowena (rowan.held) reluctantly followed the man back up the stairs, she noted the woman in green and then, sank to her knees - not at all pleased about it, but knowing if she didn't, well, he might change his mind about that tantalizing possibility of sending her back home. When he spoke, her head whirled up to look at him. That question made no sense at all given the state of conversation about returning her home. "What?" she exclaimed in a panic.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): 'Not a problem sir we can do it right now if that is acceptable. Your girl so private ownership? Not a problem of course as you are here to give approval for the exam." watches the girl and looks at her from a medical standpoint "she looks healthy. I will do my best to not hurt you girl. Rowena is a good name you chose Sir." smiles "You of course are welcome to be in as I examin her or any girls in the kennel as wwell."
Alesandro (alex.lavendel): "Yes, private" he agreed. She was not kennel stock after all, even though he treated her as if she were. He would let the exam go as if she were a slave, yet another dig into the Lady Rowena's arrogance. "Thank you I will." Hopefully with him there she won't try anything stupid.
Rowena (rowan.held) was all but sputtering.. ok, she was sputtering.. "but.. bu but.. wait. what?" Oh the slaver was vicious, playing with her in such tormenting fashion. Her face paled, she shook her head. She was not at all motivated to endure whatever sort of exam was planned. "I .. I assure you, I am quite healthy. My regular physician can surely send you the medical records", ok, well, that might not be the best idea, it would mean someone in Ar would be confirming where she was, and until she was dressed appropriately, she just didn't want that to be common knowledge.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "Oh who is your regular physician girl?" she smiled at her.
Rowena (rowan.held) canted her head, miffed at being called 'girl', "Oh, are you familiar with the physicians of Ar then, Lady?" she asked, "she was a private physician employed by my father, by the name of Elana".
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "Elana does she take care of slaves too? I thought she was more into high class work then that. But no mater come along we need to do this exam." turned and headed toward the exam room expecting her to follow
Rowena (rowan.held) looked at her "no, she does not tend to slaves, why on Gor would she do that?" she said, making no effort to move. The last the slaver had told her, he indicated he would be returning her home, even giving her a helpful suggestion in what to do about her ear. She was bristling with irritation at the suggestion of being treated like ... a.. slave.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Looks at the slaver "You allow your girls to behave in such a manner Sir? She is quite impudent." nods "I said follow me girl. who your father is or was is of no importance, You are kneeling there on the floor with your breast exposed. For all intent and purposes you are a slave" waited for her to follow.
Alesandro (alex.lavendel): "Rowena, attend" was all he said to the girl. To the Physician he answered, "She is not yet enslaved, but is more in the nature of my captive. If her words offend you, I can have her gagged." He spoke so matter of factly about it all, that Rowena would have no doubt that he would do so.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Smiled "Words do not offend me Sir. How and what you do with your girl is up to you. The all have a problem accepting their slavery which I in fact understand to a degree. It would be a problem for me. No just was attempting to get a point across. She is pretty she would look good always at your feet Sir." nods
Alesandro (alex.lavendel) led the reluctant girl along
Rowena (rowan.held) just.. stared at him, then her.. then him again. He had subjected her to a great number of indignities in recent weeks, not the least of which was leaving her so disgustingly exposed, striking her.... and teasing her with the prospect of letting her go. She was not about to just subject herself to a slave exam. That idea was repugnant to her. The ihns ticked by as she knelt there, on her knees for no reason other than to not be struck again, their conversation was not helping her mind set, further infuriating her as they discussed her as though she were not capable of hearing them and understanding them. She, of course, heard his instruction to come along but she was truly not sure her legs were going to cooperate with that. "why do you wish to subject me to this, Sir, when ahns earlier you seemed quite considerate to return..." .. and just like that, he took choice in compliance away from her. She glared at him.
Bethany Buchanan (heavenlee.soulstar) looked to the boy more closer, she dared not step any more closer , archig a brow a bit she said rather loudly "dont you move from where you stand, boy" as she called out to Him , Beth studied him a bit and then "I should call some one over to help you
Alesandro (alex.lavendel): "excuse me, but the hair dresser seems to need some assistance." he said the woman's voice carried well."
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "You have had some willful ones in the kennels sir. Two that come to my mind are dina and qismit. There took so,e encourging I imagine to their position. This one seems to fit in with those two if I may be so bold. But I am just to check them. No worries. Forgive me if my answers are short it has been a trying day. but I assure you that willl not inhibit myability to do the exam. " looked to the girl "I will need to ask questions I expect honest answers. If you have questions of me you may ask them. That said lets start - you need to strip and bathe in the tub. Be sure to get your head in deep and wash well your head and scalp. When done ring as much liquid asyou caan out of your hair, dry off ans step on the scales." Turns to the wash bowl scrubbing her hands well and putting on sterile gloves.
Rowena (rowan.held) just stood there looking at the woman as if she had grown a second head. Her voice was ice as she said "I. Am. Not. A. Slave" - and it was technically true. "These clothes, which you so kindly made mention of? Are all HE will provide me. Would it be better for me to refuse the clothes and run around stark raving naked?" her voice was becoming more shrill by the word as this was such an unexpected development, more degrading in her opinion than even the attire and sheer veil.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Took the leash from the slaver and fastened it around a wrist. Not a chore she enjoyed but it was his girl and she would abide by his rules. Looks to the girl. "You must do what you think is best. You are not a slave but you dress like one. You kneel at his feel, I am holding your leash. Every body I know would see you as a slave. You think different that isup to you. Now please disrobe and get into the bath. I would hate for you to get whipped for not getting the exam done. I have seen that happen."
Rowena (rowan.held): Oh sure, she understood what the physician was saying, Rowena herself had seen captive free women brought into Ar and knew they were viewed as slaves even if they were not enslaved, but it was a bit different when the proverbial shoe was on the other foot. "I do not CHOOSE to dress this way. I kneel? Because the alternative is to be punished, surprised, by being put in attire like this", she made a sweeping motion with her hand, not that it did much good as the sirik did not permit her hands to move much above her belly - something that would prove problematic in terms of removing the clothes.. "I will consent to answering some of your questions, depending on what they are. But, I am not, let me repeat, NOT, getting into that bath".
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): sighed deeply and reached into the cuppboard getting the goad that was put there. "I do not know why you make this difficult. You have been in that cage. Other girls have been in that cage. It could have lice - you could have lice - the bath will kill any that are on you and I can examine your head to assure it is not infected. I am a woman you are a woman surely you are not ashamed to disrobe in front of a women?" would try being understanding with this one.
Rowena (rowan.held) watched as she pulled the goad out; yeah, she knew what that felt like. She glared. "How often is that changed? Would you be willing to step into it under ANY circumstance?" she asked the other woman. "It has nothing to do with your gender, it has to do with my dignity, something that he is slowly stripping away from, quite literally, a piece at a time. Why not help me simply get out of here, no longer a thorn in your side with this veil, or a 'difficult patient', I assure you, my father will pay handsomely to get me back unharmed, unscathed". She rattled that blasted sirik, "besides, how exactly would you suggest I remove these bits of clothing when I can not even get into them myself in the morning after he has laid out what he expects me to wear?"
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I know your situation is different if in fact you were born free. And before you sputter away I really have no way to know that. That water kills everything and it is filtered after each bathe in it. Would I step in it. If I was in your position and ordered yes. Its not contagious water. it is to kill anything you might have gotten on you in transit or here. How do I help you get out of them then? You really need to take the bath."
Rowena (rowan.held) looked at the woman, she was livid. To be subjected to this was perhaps the worst thing he had put her through thus far. She looked at the goad, she did try to understand that the woman was attempting to be tolerant, but it was insufferable to hear her imply that she herself might be lying about her status as a free woman. "If you were in my position, as. a. free. woman. you are saying you would get in the tub, not in my position as you stand there assuming I am a slave, but as a free woman? Why not just start with asking your questions? I have not been itching, I bathe daily", she was really quite adamant that the bath was simply not something she was interested in doing, in fact, the entire idea of a 'slave exam' was making her mad enough that the slaver had best not forget to lock her up at night because she was about ready to kill him first chance she got.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Moves to the tub pulling her along with the leash steps on the other side of the tub and pulls her into it. "I have rules to follow."
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Presses down on her shoulders sitting her in the tub.
Ho Sorp (ioneus.trill): I am called Ho Sorp, most just call me Ho
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): taking scissors from out of her bag she cuts the clothes off the girl. She would reinburse the slaver for the cost if he so desired. Pulls the veil off and removes the face jewelry. "Now bathe." she looks at her
Alesandro (alex.lavendel) stopped at the kitchen and got a larma which he tossed to the lad. "Catch" he said. watching him with plenty of interest.
Rowena (rowan.held) landed with a splash in the disgusting stuff. Shock and fury on her face, sarcasm dripping from her voice "I should hope, Lady, that one day when you find yourself in need of someone to help you out of such a situation, you are repaid with the same kindness, understanding.. compassion... you have shown to me". Rowena was small enough that it posed little problem for the woman to pretty much dunk her down in the bath.
Ho Sorp (ioneus.trill) catches the larma with one hand and bites into the fruit. "Thanks" he said after he swallowed.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I am doing the best I can for you. I will be as easy on you through the exam as I can be and get it over as quickly as possilbe. What else do you expect me to do? I can not aid you in any way nor would I. I would not want to take your place." scoops water up pouring it over the girls head soaking the hair and head well. Then she looked at her "Can you honestly say if the situation was reversed you wuld do differently?" she had heard the cold tone of the woman and she knew that she would be even worse to the girl in the leash then Gwyen would be.
Rowena (rowan.held): Rowena gave the physician's question some serious consideration before answering, as she tried to ignore the water being poured over her head. "Truthfully, a few months ago, no. Having.. endured this? I think there are some I would at least attempt to help, even if it meant offering to buy the girl only to free her. Granted, there are two who would suffer for the rest of their lives if I came across them in such condition", that would be the two who were responsible for Rowena's kidnapping and delivery to the slaver. "Just.. get this overwith already".
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "That is all I am trying to do get it over with for you." saw that she had gotten well soaked . 'Stand and ring out your hair then step out and use the cloth to try. The cloths are clean washed after each use."
Rowena (rowan.held) said through gritted teeth "I can't.. reach.. my.. hair", she again held up her wrists and made the sirik that was so short rattle a bit.
Alesandro (alex.lavendel) gave the boy a smile. "You can eat that while we cover some basics. Let's go down to the next floor."
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I see" taking a cloth wraps her hair in it and rings it out watching as the cloth is soaked and water drips onto the floor. "Dry all you can what you can not reach I will dry." Gwyen knew she was not taking the sirik off.
Ho Sorp (ioneus.trill) Follows the man down to the main floor while continuing to eat the larma.
Rowena (rowan.held) snatched the towel from her hands and dried off what she could reach "the rest can drip dry" she said, not caring to be touched and the fact that she was standing there naked was REALLY setting her teeth on edge.
Alesandro (alex.lavendel): "Sit" he told him, as he took out a fresh paper from the table, he grabbed up a tunic as well. "He sort of flopped into his seat, boneless, perhaps tired.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Tossed the cloth on the ground if she wanted to smell like wet bosk that was ok with Gwyen. "The scales for weight and height next" gwyen walked there slowly giving her a chance to walk and not be tugged by the leash.
Rowena (rowan.held): "take off the weight of these damn chains and belt" she said tersely.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Adjusted the weights and the height bar . "51 horts and 28 stones very good.. Now we go to the green chair." again Gwyen walked slow giving her the chance to walk on her own. "Please sit down."
Ho Sorp (ioneus.trill) Was surprised when he was told to sit, and he looked around. There was a carpet and a second chair. Decides to sit upon the floor.
Rowena (rowan.held) sat in the chair, the hostility vibrated off of her. She made a fist, imagining punching the slaver right in the face - if she could get out of the damn sirik.
Ho Sorp (ioneus.trill) after the slaver left he stood up and went over to study a map on the wall.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Watched a ice vein rise for testing. Wipes the area well with the antiseptic cloth and tosses it. Picks up another cloth and a needle. "Sit still now I will do this as painless as I can" using the clean cloth pinches the area just a bit to help numb it the slides the needle in. Blood drips out the back a good stick. Placing a thumb over the end picks up the syringe off the tray. depressing the plunger to assure no air in it and draws blood. "Where were you born and how old are you?"
Rowena (rowan.held) was trying very hard to reign her temper in, oh the slaver was going to get an EARFUL when he came back. By this point, he surely could expect nothing less as he dangled her by his marionette strings, dancing her into demeaning situations then pulling her back with his promises of returning her home unscathed. "I was born in Ar and I am due to be turning 25 in a few months time, a celebration I would very much prefer to be home for, than here. No offense, Lady".
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "One would always prefer to be home I understand that." Gwyen had been taking from her home and the folks she though were her parents to live with her real brother. Quite a change. As the needle was pulled out the rep cloth was pressed down on the area snugly to stop the bleeding. "Hold down on this till I check it please so the bleeding will stop." Lays the syringe down and unties the band from her arm tossing it away.
Rowena (rowan.held) held her finger over the small puncture. Without prompting, she filled in the blanks, "I was traveling to the Sardar, as we are all required to do before our 25th birthday. I was taken from my wagon at night... and transported here".
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Prepares a small vial and three slides for testing. Placing the vial in the back compartment sets it spinning and testing. "It is so dangerous for a female to travel." and she did sound like she felt sorry this had happened to the girl. Placing the first slide into the machine began the tests.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): as the last slide is tested and finished the machine beeps. Opeing the door reads the report - Negative for Bazi and Dar-Kosis. "You are negative for disease in your blood that is very good. Serums are good, no toxins and you are O- blood type." recorded all on the scroll. Looks at the collar around her neck slipping two fingers under it. It had plenty of room and she saw no chaffing.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I need you to sit on the side of the exam bed now." waiting for her to stand then walking there with her.
Rowena (rowan.held): "feel free to get this thing off of me" she said... which was followed by a look of 'oh hell to the no' about getting on the exam bed. "Thought you had some questions for me?" she suggested helpfully, eying the exam bed. "There is no need for that, the belt on my body should make it pretty clear what my state is" she said once more with ice in her veins.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "You need to SIT on the side of the bed I need to check your head, your eyes, ears mouth andn ose. I need to listen to your heart and lungs. So come on to the bed." had never seen such a stubborn girl who ended up doing herself more harm then good.
Rowena (rowan.held): If Rowena had been a slave, her reluctance, her refusal, would not make much sense, but she was not a slave and being subjected to such indignities was wearing very thin on her patience. That she was being treated like a slave, not the free woman she still was, was adding insult to injury. The slaver's own mouth had confirmed she was not actually enslaved. "How much more is there to this?" Obviously, the woman had never been through a slave exam before, nor had she ever witnessed one as her father's business did not involve the trade of slave flesh.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "Not a lot left please lean forward so I can check your hair and scalp. " pulls off gloves and puts on fresh ones picks up a comb.
Rowena (rowan.held) just barely leaned forward. At this point she was pretty much sure that come hell or high water, she was going to find a way out of the kennel even if she had to bust a window and climb out of it.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Combs through her hair strand by strand looking for any thing in it and checking the scalp for any sores. "I know this is a usual exam for a free woman. But I was told to do a slave exam on you. I do what I am asked to do." smiled soft "Your hair and scalp are good." was thankful she was tall as she sure did not lean far. 4 (npc) slave girls entered and stood against the wall. "Be with you in a moment:" she told them. Now sit up I want to check your eyes and all.
Rowena (rowan.held) was busy envisioning all the ways she might want to dismember the slaver, pretty serious stuff considering the respect Goreans had for life as a general rule - he best sleep with one eye open for a very long time, or figure out how to tame her - as if. "I am trying very hard to be understanding that he chose to put you in this position; imagine, if you will, how it feels on this side of the proverbial exam table - here because HE chose to put me in this position. Have you considered lady, that he has not pledged to this Home Stone that I have seen, in fact I heard him inquire about the next ceremony for such things. What should happen, do you think, if he took a fancy to you, before he pledged? Or suppose a rejected suitor here in the city decided to hire someone from another city to steal you in the night as you slept, hm? I am here through no fault of my own, I was never found guilty of conduct becoming a slave, in fact I have never even been remotely accused of such behavior, and even here? Every action, every piece of clothing I have worn - has been a direct result of his intervention, not my choice"
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Picked up a small light and turned it on. Before starting she stood and looked at her counting her breaths. 18 breaths per Ehn yes she was a bit upset. Shines the light into one eye and the then other - shining in and out a couple times "no yellow and good pupil reaction" she said. Moved to look up her nose no problems noted. Then to her earys no problem inside but one ispierced "You have only one ear pierced? I have seen slaves who have had just one piercing. That is a shame I must tell you. No matter what they say the scare or the hole if healed will always be there now. it doesn't go away. A physician would see it on examination if others culd not.. Open your mouth wide now please." turns and picks up a small stick
Rowena (rowan.held): "Think I haven't considered that? I plan on having an 'accident' in which my ear lobe will end up sadly bitten off by a vulo after a wild night of too much ka-la-na. It is a tag, not an earring, only meant to 'mark me as claimed'.... ", the sneer in her voice was as obvious as the one on her face.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I do not see any brands or tattoos or scars is that correct? Open wide please I need to see your throat." was tryihg to be patient.
Rowena (rowan.held) responded "as I have been telling you, I am not a slave, of course there is no brand, no scars or tattoos - why would any decent Gorean allow themselves to be marked with ink in their flesh?" she was clearly as horrified by that concept as well, everything going on around her, she did then open her mouth, well aware of what the physician would find as she took great care of her teeth.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Pressed down on her tongue checking throat, teeth, gums and tongue. Tosses stick away "All good in there" picks up stethoscope putting it into her hears and warming the bell with her hands. "Take deep even breaths now in and out." as she placed the bell on her chest and listened moving it from place to place and doing the back as well.
Rowena (rowan.held) took a few breaths in and out, ok, they were mostly huffs of some sort but, what could one really expect under the circumstances? At least this part was pretty standard, she was still pretty ticked about that bath though.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Picks up her wrist pushing the cuff up just enough to get her fingers on the pulse and times and counts the heartbeats. "&6 beats per Ehn" she said knowing that the girl was upset. "OK I need you to lie down now - glancing to the slaves standing at the wall.
Rowena (rowan.held): "what for?" she asked unceremoniously. If this was going the direction she thought it was going, there was pretty much no way she would comply, it would likely take the slaver's presence and even then, it was no sure fire thing.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Looked to the wall and said girls. These were girls use to hard work lifting and pushing things. two went on eachside of the bed pulling her to lie down. One at each arm and one at each leg. bending the legs at the knee and placing feet flat on the table. "I am sorry but I have to verify you are in fact unopened. Now don't say this is only done to slaves because that is just not true. Men oft have theiir intended examined before a FC is performed. These girls can hold you well." removes her gloves and again puts on fresh ones.
Rowena (rowan.held): "You have already seen more of me than my own personal physician whom I have known my entire life. I am in perfect health", she considered suddenly fake-coughing as if she had some horrible lung affliction, but the prankster in her was currently buried beneath the pretty pissed off free woman, "I have NEVER been touched by a man", which was not entirely true, the slaver had sure enjoyed letting his hands wander. "Not to mention, I did not see him hand you the key, only the leash, and believe me, I was watching his hands because all I've needed was a flash of that key to figure out what pocket it, and the one to this collar, are in". To the slaves she said "touch me, and I promise you will end up regretting it, not today perhaps, but it will happen". Looking back to the woman she hissed "I am NO ONE's 'intended' and when a free woman has such an exam it is done with her consent, which I am not giving. Take it up with the slaver as he holds the key"
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): ""The slaves can hold you or I can call in male guards I have to finish this exam. You do not need to give permission you are in a Kennel I am doing a slave exam. I am trying to finish it, "Raises her voice and calls another s(npc) slave t the door "I am going to need 4 big strong guards I am sure you know which men to pick" but holds her hand up for he to wait a moment giving the woman another chance to go along with what must be done.
Rowena (rowan.held) just flopped back on the table "there are consequences for every action, and there is a good chance I will not remain in this condition permanently, think wisely if this is worth doing"
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): opens a jar and puts the slightly numbing lubricating salve on two fingers. "I know its different but I wil be gentle and I am doing ,my job. Do not buck about and it will be over fast."looks to the womans vagina and slides a thumb down the folds of the petals to see if she has a reaction. Then slowly inserts the two greased fingers gently inside when feeling a wall stops and presses on the outer groin feeling for any lumps or problems. The procedureis over fast and she remove her fingers shanging gloves once again. "It is all over you lived through it. I do not enjoy this any more then you do truly." then turns to the stand and pours her a drink. "Drink this down as fast as you can. You need to drink it all." Holds out the cup.
Rowena (rowan.held) tossed the cup across the room, amazed that the woman was able to touch her through the metal belt she wore
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): picks up the belt sliding it back under her and relocking it. "We have a key to the belts for this purpose. Do I really need to make you drink the drink? I do not want to do so but I do have a way to do so." pours another cup. Holding it to her.
Rowena (rowan.held) took the cup, drank it and was rapidly shifting her anger at the slaver to the physician. might not seem like much of a concern under current circumstances, but if they managed to change, there could be hell to pay
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): Looks at her expression "Oh the belt - I unlocked it while you were being adamant. then as you lie down it slipped off. I did the exam and have relocked it back on you. I really wish it would have just been you cooperating. I have changed nothing on you. Your still the same condition you were in physically before. And its over its done. Did you never have to do a job even if you didn't want to do it?" had seen the look in her eyes and thought she had better go hom and mention her name to some people sheknew that had no names. They owed Gwyen a favor and this might be the time to collect.
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I do what is asked when asked. You said you have insight now that you have been in these chains. But I have not. If before this I was sitting as you are and swearing to the Priest Kings I was not a slave would you have believed me? I have had many slave girls come through not marked at all. No brand not piercings nothing but they were slaves. I examined them and then they were branded. You do have a pierced ear. I know that alone is looked upon as the sign of a slave. You are presented as just that. And not being a slave yet has usually meant the training is not yet complete. Very rarely have I seen a man free a woman he has gotten to be on his chain. I did my best to do you no harm. Your dignity maybe be rushed a little but you are not changed, no man has touched you even now. You had a female physician and female slaves not male. You may be angry at me and plot and I can not stop that. But know I tried to give you all the dignity in this situation I could and that was by doing this fast." she looked at her "It was slowed because you did not cooperate. And I understand where you are coming from in your way of thinking."
Rowena (rowan.held): "It is often whispered that a man can tell the difference between a slave in robes and a free woman in robes, is it not? That with all signs hidden, a slave can be spotted because of how she moves, how she behaves - have you seen anything in me that leads you to honestly believe I am a slave? Do you, as a physician, not know the same signs and hints that the average, even simple, free man knows?", she knew the answer to that, Rowena had very carefully maneuvered every potential situation in which she might be accused of slave-like conduct to ensure it was evident the only reason she was complying was due to being forced. "There is no way, after this delightful time together, that you can hold any illusions about what I am, more importantly, what I am not". She leveled her gaze at the woman, something no slave was likely to do, "you should have considered that from the beginning, do you think, if consequences come to visit, that the slaver will be there to protect you, Lady? That he will intervene and take responsibility for putting you in this position? I think we both know the answer to that when dealing with a man who so lacks the normal, expected, respect for a free woman in the first place, hmm?"
Gwyen Namaar Vancius and Wrexan (gwyen.hausdorff): "I am with slaves a very short time. I have seen girls act JUST as you do trying to get out of the situation that turned out to be slaves in which the fires burned strong. I do not pay as much attention as the men do. I have no use for a slave in that manner." she thought of her brothers they all had very little use for women other then slaves. "Of course no slaver would be there to protect me no in slave chains and slave clothes. I know that all too well. But I have seen females both free and slave who react as you do. its all about them just as the slavers are in dealing with slaves its all about them. Maybe I do that too but I know when I am working I care for the patient and I do what must be done as easily as I can." Shrugs takes off her gloves and tosses them. Nods for the girls to reset and clean the room. "He has not returned I believe the first cage is yours. Lets go." she just looked at her some no matter how much you tried never saw things but how they wanted to see them.
Rowena (rowan.held): And there it was, those words hanging in the air, proof that what the slaver had been told of the woman was true, she was cruel, vicious, calculating, arrogant and probably a litany of other things he had not said to her, but in Rowena's defense, she had spent her life pampered and with little reason to not get exactly what she wanted from those around her. True too, she was capable of compassion and kindness but in equal measure she could be the reverse as well. She would likely have made a perfect companion, if she had not been so dead-set against it to the point that she had refused every offer brought to her father, a choice that she was slightly regretting for it was unlikely she would be in this position if she had accepted one, in particular that of the slaver, which she did not know was one of those suitors.. whom she had refused to even meet, sending him away with nothing but a dismissive message passed on by another's tongue. She slipped off the exam table, stomping as she moved, that sirik ensuring her steps were small and unable to run.
Rowena (rowan.held) waited until the lady was gone, unable to open the cage and she had forgotten to remind the guard (NPC) to keep an eye on her. She grinned, first stop was the room of preparation to see what clothes had been laid out because she was NOT going to waltz around the kennel buck-ass naked. once she had managed to get the.. well, it wasn't a dress.. but she wasn't going to think of them as silks, either, on. She started nosing around the kennel, looking for anything she might be able to use, but careful to not move anything out of place, just getting an idea of where things were, quills, heavy knick-knacks, etc. She had gone far beyond the docile beast who had given up the previous day, she was now so insulted and offended that she did not care what the consequences might be if her plans did not pan out.
