Love a caste secret ?
[2010/07/30 16:31] Sparrow flashed a dark gaze at him and complied. Her voice trembling she mused “It is said that once a slave had a contract put over her head, it is said that she was hunted and that she was killed my Master. But your current conversation seems to indicate that this never should happen so, sparrow ponders what of the legend of a slave who once was hunted for, perhaps, gold…or else.”
[2010/07/30 16:33] Crow frowns “A slave could very well be a mark, we were merely discussing those that can’t be a client mine.” he replied dryly. “However understand that in our caste there is something else … those that might have been witnesses to an event might very well be hunted for just to be sure they are silenced. Slaves that once were owned by a killer can be slain to keep the secrets in the caste. However only if there is indeed that exposure to those to begin with.”
[2010/07/30 16:35] Dark listens to Crows words and then gives a short glance to the confused slave.
[2010/07/30 16:35] Sparrow grinned, oh, how she was pleased by this answer, how much he had unfolded then, much of what she had been after for so long and thought she would never hear, smiling she replied “So, a slave would not be a mark because she would love too much my Master?” she asked almost quietly
[2010/07/30 16:35] Arcadia shifts uncomfortably on her heels as the talk turns to slaves of Killers being slain for their knowledge, she arched her back and attempted to look her most pleasing that she not be disposed of in such a manner
[2010/07/30 16:37] Crow turns more fully towards her “When the love would harm her owner she might be killed … however …” and now he grins knowing full well what she was getting at “Most killers are beaten if they show affection to a slave or any woman. They are considered weak to the flesh.” he narrows his eyes “It takes strong killers to keep their emotions as to love or commitment as their own silence secret.”
[2010/07/30 16:38] Sparrow blushed at his last words and she looked down, ashamed…how could she still think of revenge when he was telling her such words. Coyly and timidly, after nodding to him, she whispered “Master, may a slave retire?”
[2010/07/30 16:39] Crow chuckles darkly “Let me create a scene and you, three, tell me if this slave needs to be killed or not … ?” he watched them in turn “Agreed ?”
[2010/07/30 16:39] Arcadia nods fervently eager to be seen as a good girl “yes Master”
[2010/07/30 16:39] Crow turns to his girl again “You may … or after the answer … that will be up to you.”
[2010/07/30 16:40] Sparrow nodded and did not move yet.
[2010/07/30 16:40] Dark nods ,,waiting for what scene would be done.
[2010/07/30 16:43] Crow starts the scene “There is this killer and a slave, they both have their secret of love and true devotion to each other. However none knows but those two. He expressed his love and she did too. The killer of course understands that his job often brings him in great danger. He has been trained, qualified and had once been given the choice to do so. The slave however had to comply, just be in this helplessness of being owned by one that faced death every time he would go to do his job. The love of the slave … made her more aware of each time he left and she tried to … look out for him, just because of selfish reasons as not wanting him to find his death. This time the Killer had taken her to a city, he was on the hunt and the girl being close to him had understand who it might be … clearly in their connection much was to be learned. She was of course sent away when he would go to that final stage … however wanted to be sure that her owner would be alive. She sneaked back into the city wanting to prevent guards of walking into the scene … and be sure that her owner would do his kill with less of the risks he normally would have. However … the guard were alert by this girl and took her captive. When the alarm bells were ringing it was clear that the killer had done his job and had killed the mark.” he now paused “tell me … what will the killer do when he learns his girl is captive ?”
[2010/07/30 16:48] Dark answers ” Leave her to her own fate,,for the codes come first.”
[2010/07/30 16:48] Arcadia shrugs and says quietly “I would say buy a new girl Master ?”
[2010/07/30 16:49] Sparrow felt water come to her eyes, however she did not allow a tear to be shed. She straightened herself up. She knew the answer, she had always know better than to follow him secretly. The others answered, she finally whispered ” she will be slain” and looked down.
[2010/07/30 16:50] Crow nodded to his own girl “The life of the killer depends on the death of the girl, the one that was aware of his reasons, his hunt and even his mark. She needs to be killed before she can be tortured and forced to expose secrets. If the killer fails …. he will face death if not by the guards by his own caste brothers.”
[2010/07/30 16:51] Crow looks at the two girls “Therefor it is important that slaves are kept ignorant … no killer wishes his life to depend on that … ”
[2010/07/30 16:51] Dark nods as he hears wisdom and keeps it.
[2010/07/30 16:52] Sparrow kept her head down, what he had just told she knew very well, she had several times been warned clearly of what would occur. Also, and that others might not know, it was very likely that her very life had just then depended on a good and correct answer.
[2010/07/30 16:52] Crow reached out lifted the chin of his own girl and brushed his thumb over her lips “Get some rest mine.” he tells her
[2010/07/30 16:53] Arcadia absorbs Crow’s words and exhales slowly, her eyes cast to the floor she lifts them as he speaks again and nods “I understand Master, it keeps both parties safe ….” her words tail off as she not for the first time considers the perils of being owned by the darkest caste
[2010/07/30 16:54] Crow turns to Arcadia “Aye … it isn’t to pester or that we don’t value the slaves to what they are … ” he glanced to the lad, perhaps this was rather odd for a killer to say “slaves of assassins are often trained in many different fields often envied however never will others know of their burden simply because they bring the promise of spring to a killer.”
[2010/07/30 16:54] Sparrow looked up at him, what could read in her eyes, her warm gaze, only he could decipher. She shivered when he brushed his thumb against her lips and mused “Thank you my Master. I shall warm your furs and await you at the feet of it” on that she rose.
[2010/07/30 16:55] Crow nods to his girl “Aye warm them, mine … I will need them soon.”
[2010/07/30 16:56] Sparrow looked at the candidate and said to him “Rest well Master” then she walked near arcadia and leaned over kissing her tenderly, she liked her very much “Rest well beautiful arcadia, my chain friend” she whispered to her. Then she walked off, slowly, her head full of things to consider, and reconsider…sparrow was always invaded by thoughts.
