Cal: Master and Shop Owner

Cal had glanced sideways, giving his Elf a glare as she stepped away from him to talk to Conroy, not happy with her stepping up like that. Turning the glare to the new slave and his handler, "Put him over there," he said. Turning back to Blaise, he spoke, his voice low and full of venom. "No, Blaise. You are a slave set up to be bought by anyone that comes in this shop. You are not my slave and you never will be. Kaura is mine and she will do her job no matter how hard it is or how long it will take," he said. His lips curved up into an evil grin. "I don't care if you are going crazy in this cage, that would be entertaining in my opinion. So enjoy your stay and be quiet." Standing, he walked away from the cage and too Kaura's arm as he moved to the front of the shop, intending to pull her along, speaking low as he went. "And you, Elf, never step in like that. I am not a work agency for slaves, I am a seller and buyer. Do you understand?" His grip tightening painfully.
 

[Tiltilla]

Kaura winced slightly at the cruel words to Blaise, but understood them as well. She had been there about as long as the Neko, and in all that time the woman had only served to cause trouble. As much as Kaura wanted to help, she knew doing so would only hurt the shop.

Then Cal turned his attention to her, snatching her arm roughly as he pulled her to the front of the shop once more, and she hurried behind. "I am sorry, Master." She told him, sounding sincere. "I just know it is awful to be stuck in those cages all day, I felt sorry for her..."

Cal: Master and Shop Owner

Cal leaned down so that his mouth was even with her ear. "Listen Elf and listen carefully. You can not care so deeply for everyone if you intend to survive. I know it's in your blood but you have to learn where you stand and where to hold back from trying to help," he said in a harsh whisper. Pulling back a little, he looked into her eyes, to someone observing it would look like he was speaking harshly to her. "If you get tired, just let me know and I will try and give you a break. Ok? Now I know that you didn't eat anything, go get something from the kitchen." Releasing her, he stepped away and went back to his files on his front counter.
 

[Tiltilla]

Kaura froze as he moved in close to her ear, his breath hot against her skin. It made her shiver slightly, oversensitive to contact there, a blush rising in his cheeks. JHe didn't know, he couldn't know, what he was doing by speaking so close, hi lips almost against her now.

She nodded quickly, looking away. "I will try not to let my emotions cloud my mind." She whispered, and resisted the urge to rub her arm where he had grabbed her. She stood for a moment, staring at him for a brief moment before going to the kitchen. She rumaged through the fridge before she found a reasonably fresh plate of food that Cal had apparently put in some days ago to eat later. She ate quickly, and sighed when she was done, grateful for the chance to eat before emerging, watching Cal again for a moment. "Where should I start?"

Cal: Master and Shop Owner

Cal nodded and watched her walk off. For some reason he wasn't be as harsh as he would normally be to any slave, whether it be his own or otherwise. Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair. He hoped that Jackson didn't find any of this out, he would never let him live it down. Looking up as his slave came back out from the kitchen he stood. "Elf, why don't you start by working on cleaning the floors and that?" He said. "I will be in the kitchen cleaning up if you need anything." Going around, he picked up everyone's dishes and retreated to the kitchen. No one realized, but doing the dishes helped him wash away his worries and his confusion.

 

[Tiltilla]

Kaura nodded, "Of course, Master." She said, with a degree of enthuisiasm, glad to be getting back to work, even a boring task like cleaning.

She grabbed the soapy water, and a scrub brush, and knelt on the floor. She began to scrub at the tiles, smiling as she cleaned. It was almost theraputiv to her, allowing her the chance to clear her thoughts. She was so engrossed in cleaning, humming softly to herself that she didn't even notice as a familiar man re-entered the shop. She barely got a chance to look up, spotting the black boots in front of her, when she felt herself shoved roughly into the tile.



Dhiren returned to the shop, he saw a Neko being transported in as he left. With Kira alrady out of binds it would not have been wise to buy the new pet then, but now that that prize was safetly dropped off... He could scratch his itch for a new slave.

He entered silently, only the quiet jingling of the bell announcing his presence. Immediately he spotted that same elf, bent onto the floor scrubbing, a smile on her face. That cheerfulness fascinated him, and infuriated him...

In just a few short steps he closed the distance between them. She began to look up when he got near, but he sneered, and raised a foot. "Almost right." He growled, and brought it down onto her upper back. He smalled her into the floortiles with a low laugh. "There... Now that is how a slave greets a Master!" He chuckled, grinding his foot painfully into her while she wimpered into the puddle of soapy water. He didn't release her though... No... She was a taunting reminder of what the shopkeeper would not let him have, a joyful spirit he was not allowed to break, and that angered him even more. "A little Light Elf, are you?" He mused, and leaned forward , resting an arm on his knee as his other hand entended to her back. "Then you must hate this... A surge of power, more then what he needed to use... But he wanted to cause this girl pain... Just because she was happy, an unforgivable sin in his mind. She was happy, and she would suffer for it. "How does it feel?" He laughed as the energy stole her strength and she screamed loudly, pain flooding her body.

Kora: Slave

Kora awoke with a start as she heard the pained scream of Cal's elf not far from her cage. Opening her eyes to complete alertness, she growled as the man covered her with the shadows that could kill her. "Cal!" she screamed out, knowing that he would not like that his property was being harmed. Turning a heated and angry gaze back to the master, she growled. "Stop it, let her go!" she screamed at him, pulling on the chains at her wrists and as far forward as she could get with the chain on her collar.





Cal: Master and Shop Owner

Cal hadn't heard the door open to his shop, the kitchen being in the very back and away from everyone else. As he was int he middle of drying a dish he heard the pained scream of his Elf as well as the call of Kora, the neko slave closest to the kitchen door. Dropping the plate, it breaking on the ground, he shedded his gloves and teleported out of the kitchen and into the main area, growling as he saw Dhiren, his eyes glinting red with anger. Grabbing onto the back of Dhiren's shirt, he growled and went to pull him away from his slave. "Leave her alone!"
 

[- - Ace-of-shadows -1]

Conroy decided he would just go to sleep, bored because he was stuck in a cage, when he someone scream, and then something breaking. He watched, helpless as Dhiren trampled Kaura. This made his blood boil more than anything else he could remember currently, when Cal appeared and pulled him away from Kaura. Conroy stood up as far as he could get to the front bars of the cage.  

[Tiltilla]

Dhiren was enjoying pouring his energy into this girl... Light was so weak to darkness, he could almost feel her strength withering away as she groaned under his weight. "Good girl..." He purred, watching as she faded in and out... Until a hand caught his shirt, and he found himself looking at the shopkeeper once again. "Hello." He said politely, acting as though nothing had happened, even as Kaura curled on the floor and began to shiver uncontrolably. "I saw a delightful pet... A neko... that was brought in moments ago. I would like to buy her."

He looked down at Kaura once, seeing her shock... Pain... It was glorious. He knew she could barely move, and it amused him... "And ten tousand..." He said softly. "For two hours in the back with her." He gestured to the Elf. He suspected the owner would deny the request, but made it anyway. "She can heal, can she not? Full price of five slaves, just for one beating..."

Cal: Master and Shop Owner

Cal growled and released Dhirens collar, stepping between him and his Elf. His eyes darted back to the neko in the back corner of the shop and nodded. "Two thousand," he said. Stepping over his Elf, he squatted down to pick her up and immediately teleported her to the room behind his office, laying her down on the cot and stroking some hair out of her eyes. Leaning down, he kissed her forehead, moving to a cupboard and pulling out a wash basin and a rag, getting the damp and resting it on her forehead.
 

[Tiltilla]

Dhiren laughed at the refusal, but didn't seem fased. He managed to torture the Elf some, and that satisfied his sadistic cravings. Besides, there was still that spirited little Neko to play with. He moved back to her cage, and peered in, grinning. "Hello there, my dear." He purred.



Kaura felt herself be lifted, and the room swam for a moment. When everything settled she was back in the back rooms, resting while groggily watching Cal. He stroked some hair from her face, kissed he forehead. After a moment he hurried to get a damp rag. Her head continued to spin, ad she found it rather hard to think straight, every thought merging and mixing together, almost dizzying.

When he returned he laid the cloth on her head, and she grabbed his arms. He was close to her now, and She took the oportunity to lean forward, and press her lips to his. Not a promise, not a deal... Just a kiss, light and soft before she fell back against the cot, weak and tired.  

[ArtemisChild]

Kora: Slave

Kora watched Cal, very surprised at how angry he got towards the master who wanted to buy something and then so gentle to his property. Hearing what the master wanted from this visit, her eyes widened and she growled, fighting against her chains once more. As he stepped up, she spit into his face. She wasn't going to go easy, she never did in the past and never would now or in the future. Her claws played hide and seek with her growls, popping in and out of her fingers.

Cal: Master and Shop Owner

Cal looked on in shock as his Elf grabbed and kissed him. Her mouth working through the chock and returning the kiss softly just before she fell back again. His cheeks held a read tinge and wiped her brow again. Flustered, he stood and paced for a moment, then returned to her side, sitting on the edge of the cot and stroking her cheek.
 

[Tiltilla]

Dhiren chuckled as the Neko spat on him, whiping it off with his thumb. "Now now, pet? Is that any way to treat your soon to be Master?" He asked, grinning. He liked this ones fire, her temper. Yes, she was a fun one indeed. "Do you like bets, my pretty little toy?" He taunted, smirking.




Kaura watched nervously as Cal quickly stood, pacing the room before returning to her. She knew she shouldn't have touched him... Kissed him... Not without permision, She wondered if he was angry with her, if he was going to punish her, but when his hand met her skin again, comforting and gentle, she leaned into it, closing her eyes as he stroked her gently. "I hope... I didn't upset you..." She whispered at last, pushing herself up to sit with a tired groan. Later, she swore, she would sit in the sun to revive herself, but for now she just wanted to show Cal she was alright.

Kora: Slave

She scowled at him, sending another glob of spit at him. "I'd shred you to pieces if I wasn't in this cage," she growled. Her ears were laid back against her head in anger of what he did to the Elf, even if she wasn't a fan of her. Hear ears perked up a little with his last question, tilting her head a little with narrowed eyes. "No, why?" she asked him.
