Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silver watched Cyan and soon was following in his footsteps. He too was tired. He smiled at Cyan and whispered, "Sleep well."

Silver didn't have that many clothes on, being a forest tiger and all. he just had his loin cloth and a shirt the guards had placed on him. He pulled the shirt off and slid in the bed on the other side. Two more people could have fitted between them, and he was glad for the space. Silver closed his eyes and soon was alseep too.

He only stirred when he heard the chains at the door moving. He opened one eye to see Sonja trying her best to pick the noisey things up before she slipped out of the room.

The captain was actually done for the day and had moved from his quiet tea room the the plush chair in his room. After getting rid of the chains, Sonja went to check on her master. Acorn was at his feet. She looked at her master. "I'm fine. How are our new guests?"

"They are sleeping, Master." She said.

He motioned for her to come over. She sat with him in the plush chair and feel alseep in his arms. She only awoke when her little clock when off. She slid from his arms and went to start on dinner.

She had already seasoned some meat, but the pot she needed was in the top cabinet and she couldn't reach it. She climbed on top of the counter, but she was still too short.

**np biggrin **

The captain watched observantly as Cyan came back down stairs and returned to his room. He was deciding on what to do with them. He guessed he needed to talk with them about any skills they had. Katsu grabbed his uniform jacket and headed upstairs.

"Sonja, I'll be back in a quarter of an hour." Katsu said. Acorn came galloping up behind Katsu. He smiled and said, "Sit and stay." Acorn obeyed and waited by the door until he came back.

"Yes, master." Sonja said coming to the kitchen door.

The captain returned with two large boxes under arm and headed straight for his new slaves. He went past the bed and placed the boxes on top of the dresser before going to the side of the bed where Cyan laid. He looked peaceful when he was asleep. Katsu softly touched his face.

Katsu was unphased by the reaction and ran his hand from Cyan's face to his neck and down his arm. Katsu didn't say anything for the longest moment.

"Wake Silver. Bathe and come to dinner. I put your new clothes on the dress in the box. It's nothing fancy. Just pants, underwear and a vest. There's a blue one and a white one. it doesn't matter which one wears what color."

Sonja checked the table to make sure everything was there. She had the baked lemon chicken, snapped green beans with almonds and mashed potatoes. For dessert she made apple cobbler with homemade whip cream. There was one place setting at the dinner table. She, Silver and Cyan would be eating after their master was finished. She washed her hands and rang the bell that was just outside of the kitchen.

Silver opened his eyes and listened to Cyan.
He watched him got to the bathroom and shut the door.
Silver yawned and strectched before getting out of bed and straightening up the covers.
He went over and looked at the clothes. His mouth dropped open.

When the door to the bathroom opened, he looked at Cyan. "Have you seen these clothes? I've never seen material that nice before. If you don't mind, I'm partial to white." Silver said handing the box with the blue pants and vest to Cyan.

Silver chuckled at Cyan's comment.
"I like the white because it matches my fur." Silver felt the need to explain.

He got his box and headed for the bathroom. He bathed as well and put on his pants and vest.

When he was done, he put the box back on the dresser and put his old clothes in one of the bottom drawers. He looked in the mirror to make sure he looked okay before tapping Cyan on the leg. "We should go. We don't want to take too long." Silver said heading for the door.

Sonja was waiting just inside the kitchen. She motioned for them to stand next to her.

Katsu got off the phone and came in the kitchen with Acorn on his shoulder. Acorn barked and wagged his tail at the two. The captain turned and looked them over. "I agree, Acorn. A nice improvement." He said looking at them. He winked at Cyan and Silver before sitting down and placing Acorn on the floor.

Sonja left their side only to pour her master's drink over the ice and serving his plate before returning to her place by the wall.

They waited until the captain was finished and his plates had been cleared. When he had left, Sonja set the table for them to eat. There was plenty of food left over for them. Sonja made Acorn's food dish before she sat down to eat with the other two.

"I must say this is really good. Don't you agree, Cyan?"

"Oh, thank you very much." She said softly as she blushed with embarrassment. The captain would say the food was wonderful, but she thouht he was just saying that. She had learned alot about cooking since she had started. She worked hard to please her master.

The captain came in with a clipboard and pen. He stood by the door so as to not disturb their meal. "Cyan, we'll start with you. What are your skills? What can you do?"
