"I am. For now. If she chooses to follow me, that is her business."

Nods and comes over to wrap arms around you.

Ennnn grabbing my ribs

hello baby, are you done chatting with Ms Ellie?

Dropping to my knees next to You
Sorry had to take a shot I minded at 8

"Hello, lover."

Leans in the doorway.

not wanting to think of branding, of burning flesh, she closes her eyes and thinks of the cool feel of the stream she stepped into earlier today, of the water's lapping touch to her legs

she hears the words of Haruspex speak to her again, the words encouraging her thoughts to seek the view of the stream

she hears footsteps and opens her eyes to see the Commander before her, a glowing white hot iron with four small pointed rods topping, as soon as her eyes looked she felt a burn, her teeth bit into the gag, any sound that escaped her throat was absorbed, her eyes just shut tight as she felt the burning upon her flesh

hello my pet..
kicking you in the ribs again.. that is for me having to get my drink from mona myself..

*The new slave girl branded I smile and call out*
Hai Tuchuk!

What's love, but a second-hand emotion?

"Would you excuse me?"

Smiles and stands to head back out again.

She was quick to approach - avoiding the iron.
She knew the level of pain that radiated from that burn - but also knew that the salve in her hands would take it away just as quickly.

She smiled to sei as she gently applied the thick ointment - gingerly smoothing it over the brand - and a bit farther around it - for pain did radiate.

The pain will go now. Welcome to the Tuchuks.

Nods.
