       says to ALL: [Somewhere in my Mistress’s Torcadino residence]
       When I woke it was to a slate, grey sky. The morning was already
       overcast and I wished to return to Hulneth, where I knew snow
       covered the hills and mountains. How a girl from Kar had fallen
       in love with the biting cold of the North, I did not know. But
       it called to me- it sang to me, the most beautiful and ethereal
       notes and ensnared me. Perhaps, it was that I felt safe there.
       In any case, I was here in the market on errands and stopped at
       a vendor I knew.
       “G’morn to you Master. My Mistress is wanting to inquire about
       your salted tarsk shoulder. Is that something you have readily
       available?” I knew there was no cold storage here, or at the
       very least, very rare, and as he looked at me with brow arched,
       I knew he would be thinking the same, and that I should be smart
       enough to know, given my previous proclivities. He cleared his
       throat.
       “Naw, not at the present, slave girl. You can see them eat I
       have here, salted and not, readily available. You make choose
       and pay as your Mistress instructed.” It was a fair comment and
       I looked at what he had, knowing they would be gone in an ahn or
       two. I pointed to one and replied.
       “That, one Master. Please. A boy will be by to pick it up and it
       can be placed on Mistress’s tab. She will pay upon receipt, and
       the boy will deliver the coin.” I knew it was the system they
       had but just so he knew, I knew. Again, he nodded.
       “Very well, slave girl.”

       central gathering place set with intricately fitted flat stones
       and a fountain at each corner--
       says to ALL: I turned on sandaled feet. The weather here in
       Torcandino was much warmer than Hulneth right now. There were
       times I missed the alleyways of my city, but I remind myself
       that it was never mine, born into slavery as I was. Only the
       free could claim a city theirs, and yet in my heart, I was
       Karian. Or mayhap, I simply belonged to the Thassa. The Thassa
       called to me, a whisper on the winds, beckoning to go to her.
       That was the most difficult to free myself of. I dreamt of the
       waters, of the subtle rocking of the ship beneath my feet, and
       the way the sky looked when you were in the vast waters with no
       land in sight. Day or night, the sky was beautiful, but
       night-time skies were bewitching and I could lay on the deck and
       just watch the thousands of stars twinkling.
       I glanced straight ahead as I got closer to the market place. It
       was early enough where it didn’t appear that there were many
       patrons. I was hesitant to go much further, pausing at a bench
       beneath a scraggly little tree and considered. There was the
       spot I preferred, that was apart enough that I would not bother
       anyone whilst I enjoyed the scenery and could still offer
       service. I migrated that way, hips moving in subtle rhythm
       beneath the kirtle before my knees found their place on the
       slave mat and thighs parted shoulder width apart, hands finding
       their perch on knees as nine fingers stretched evenly apart.

       says to Snow of Gor: I cast my gaze toward you, as you seemed to
       be the only one actually settled here and as mercurial depths
       scouted you for any insignia of your home or caste, I offered
       softly.
       “Greetings, Master. Is there aught I might get you this morning,
       please?” It was always somewhat of a chance, not pleasing a
       Master on how you offer service, but I was always taught not to
       approach a man unless bidden. So I went with long time training,
       rather than intrude on your privacy.

       says to ..sharp.dark.beautiful..: ~i was surprised to have you
       address me, my assumption having been you were otherwise
       occupied with your masters business, but at least in this
       instance it was a pleasant surprise~ Can you juggle or anything
       like that slave girl? Sleight of hand? I have a drink already,
       and truthfully I'm not the best at conversation.

       says to Snow of Gor: I could clearly see the look of surprise on
       your face despite the distance between us. You weren’t t h a t
       far away, after all. To your surprise, I didn’t look surprised
       at your question. Slaves, after all, were often trained as
       entertainment pieces for their owners and I was sure some could
       juggle, as I’d seen some at fairs from time to time. Sadly, I
       could not. Which left me puzzling over how I might endeavor to
       entertain you with the skills I did have.
       It was then I crawled to where you were, not exactly
       provocatively, but rather like a prowling beast and knelt up in
       the same fashion I’d been kneeling on the mats. Thighs parted
       instinctively, and hands dropped to find the same perch on knees
       as I cleared my throat softly and replied.
       “I do not juggle, Master. As for sleight of hand, I know a
       little. But I’d rather share a story.” I paused. “If that would
       please you, Master.”

       surprise, now you have my curiosity. I believe a story would be
       most enjoyable. ~i picked up my drink, I took a long swig and
       placed it down, turning to face you as you crawled your way over
       to me, not the most sexual of slave girls, but provacative just
       the same, I looked you over before acquiescing to your ask~ It
       would please me. By all means, your have my permission and
       encouragement to share your story in the best manner possible.

       says to Snow of Gor: I smiled as you appeared interested and
       pleased. I might have hoped for one, but both caused a brief
       quickening of my pulse. I had attended a great many fairs. It
       was always an enjoyment to listen to the great story tellers. I
       found their ability to hold captive an audience something I
       might have liked to have done myself, should things have been
       different. Instead, I satisfied myself with listening to them
       spin tales, often original, whilst they sat right there. It
       always left me awed. I had an excellent memory and I recalled a
       great many of them. Quickly, I sorted out which I would share,
       cleared my throat and began softly.
       "In a time when only the stars existed, a time before the Sun
       and the Moon, there was a poor peasant woman who sold honey
       cakes in order that she might survive. The peasant woman had two
       children, a son and daughter. Geldane, the elder of the two, was
       a wise and responsible son, while her daughter, Pereswyn, had an
       innocent and trusting young heart." i gave pause to take a
       breath and again, make eye contact with you, briefly, before
       those liquid greens took refuge beneath spray of inky lashes.
       "One day, while returning home from the village after selling
       honey cakes, the mother encountered a wolf in her path on top of
       a hill. this wolf was far larger than any she'd ever seen. The
       wolf demanded a honey cake and in exchange he would spare the
       woman’s life. She was frightened and gave him the best honey
       cake from her basket, so the wild wolf left the woman to
       continue on her path. However, the wolf continually reappeared,
       asking for honey cakes until there were none. The mother would
       plead for her life, begging the wild wolf to spare her for the
       sake of her son and daughter. At the thought of having not only
       one but three people for dinner, the wolf..consumed her and wore
       her clothes. He would go to the mother’s house disguised, hoping
       to fool the two children." there was a delicate curve of lips,
       and my words hung on the air, teasingly. My gaze lifting again,
       mercurial depths shifting like Thassa herself, settling on a
       pale, sea-green.

       says to ..sharp.dark.beautiful..: ~you began your tale, and
       already I could see that it was not to be the most normal of
       stories, you had a latent flair for sharing of gems and I found
       myself inching forward slightly, silently appalled to hear that
       the mother was merely fodder to a wolf's hunger, your green eyes
       met my dark brown gaze for the brief moment where you dared to
       life them, my tankard was held in both hands in front of me as I
       leaned forward, elbows on knees, listening intently~ Poor woman,
       should have carried a dagger instead of honey cakes. Tale isn't
       even over and wisdom has already been shared. ~goes back to
       listening~

       says to Snow of Gor: “When the wolf reached the house, he found
       a locked door. The children were not convinced that the wolf in
       disguise was their mother. However, the wolf finally persuaded
       the two, leading them to open the door for him. What a shock!
       The children screamed as the wolf chased them round and round
       the house, out the door and up a large tree. The wolf, being
       persistent, found an axe in the house and begun chopping the
       tree down to get to the siblings.” It was here I met your gaze
       again, a curl of pretty mouth, as I kept you hanging a moment
       longer. Such were the arts of storyteller’s, that I’d witnessed
       at fairs.
       “At that moment Pereswyn prayed to the heavens, asking for a
       rope. She prayed that if her and her brother were pure of heart
       and meant to be saved, the rope would be strong enough to rescue
       them, but if they were not, then the rope would be old and
       rotten, and they would fall. A long, strong rope was sent down
       from above and the two children started climbing until they
       reached the heavens." Wry amusement reflected in shining green
       eyes. And I continued after taking another breath.
       “It seemed all would end well. Pereswyn reached the bridge of
       heaven first. The wolf below, flew into a rage. He pulled at the
       rope..but he was not pure of heart. But her brother, Geldane,
       did not quite reach the bridge and when the wolf pulled, Geldane
       fell and the rope went with him. Pereswyn watched with horror as
       Geldane fell into the stretched jaws of the wolf and watched as
       he was eaten whole. Pereswyn was inconsolable with grief,
       lamenting the loss of her brother. Her pure, love and pure heart
       shone so brightly that the Gods, not wanting her to be lost to
       grief changed her into a luminous body to hang in the heavens
       and accompany the stars and which the Gods could look upon too
       and be reminded that love did exist." I murmured the last of the
       words softly. It was a sweet tale, to be sure, but I was only a
       slave and I knew little about love, much more familiar with
       cruelty, but it was a hope my heart clung to. After a moment of
       pausing that you would know I was finished, I offered softly. “I
       hope it pleased, you, Master.”

       says to ..sharp.dark.beautiful..: ~i stared at you, processing
       your story, rolling it around in my mind, letting it wash over
       me to allow me to develop an impression, the story was fantasy,
       but it very well reflected realities in some facets also, the
       more I considered it, the more I liked it, a smile formed and
       was shared with you~ Very well spoken slave girl. In another
       life, you might have been a story teller. Today though, you may
       share two things with your owner. First, you pleased a free man
       of Brundisium, you may tell her my name is Snow if she enquires.
       And, I feel inclined to offer payment though I know none is
       required. ~I was not a man of great means, but neither was I
       destitute, I offered you two copper tarsk bits on the palm of my
       hand, some owners were odd about letting slaves touch coin and I
       was not sure on which side your owner resided, but I left it to
       you to appropriate them in a fitting manner according to your
       owners desires for I truthfully did not lean one way or any
       other on that topic~ Very well done
