Suki thought for a moment before answering "I had tryed to runnaway from my last master after he told his son that...Um...That I was 'his'." Suki said trying to think of the right words. She didn't know how to explain it but she knew she did not like it. "they brot me here the next day... Today. Then they beet me for what I did." Suki said looking down at the floor. The merchant that had bean selling Suki had left and came back with a seeled box "I was told to give this to the person who bot her. It's never bean opened and I could never figure out how to open it. Aperaintly it has a seel on it. Like a spell. It wouldn't shock me since she is part dark witch." the man said setting the box next to Hazel.

Hazel ignored the man. "You are not anyones unless you want to be theirs." Hazel said placing the cloth into the water Raven had and tied a dry cloth around it. She took the wet cloth and began on the other leg. "You're not mine nor is Raven. You two are simply to be thought of as my friends. As equals...who happen to do what I ask." Hazel giggled softly.

Raven's eyes immediately went to the box as the merchant mentioned a seal. "A seal you say?" he asked curiously. The raven demon was rather good when it came to making and breaking seals, aside from summoning his wings it was really the only other actual power that he had. He wondered for a moment if his Mistress and Suki would mind if he had a look at it, to determine what kind of seal it was and possibly break it after the wolf girl's leg had been mended. His golden eyes then shifted focus to Hazel as she mentioned his name.

He hadn't really been paying quite as much attention to the conversation, although he could easily answer anything that would have been asked of him, but he had caught what Hazel had said about him and Suki not being seen as slaves. "Mistress Hazel please be careful what you say in public. Such words could very well land you in quite a bit of trouble" he said quietly as he made a quick glance at the slave trader. He didn't wish his Mistress to be harmed after all for her ways. Of course though Raven would always see himself as a slave, as it was what he had been bred into being.

"You must not worry about me Raven. There is no law that says I can't treat you as friends." Hazel said finishing up Suki's bandages. "You can try standing now, use my arm for balance." She looked at Raven and smiled. "Go ahead and look at the box, you can try to open it if you'd like."

Suki smiled a little at Hazels words. She had never herd of being some ones friend. She had herd previuse masters talking about theyr friends but she never knew what they ment. "Miss Hazel I think you are mistaken about the boy. I think his father was talking about me being his in a diferent way, I just don't know how to say it." Suki murmured quietly.

"Yes Suki I know what that man ment, I'm not sure how to say it either." Hazel thought for a moment trying to think of a good discription. "Well it doesn't matter anymore."

(Night night every one. I shall be on tomoro)
Suki nodded then yond. She had not had any sleep in three days and it was taking its tole on her both for the fact she was still young and needed rest and also for the fact that she was sick. Suki glanced up at Raven then down at the box. She had seen the box before but never saw what it contained.

"Come on, we should be heading home, you're just as tired a me." Hazel said standing up slowly . "I think we'll need a carrage." She said thinking aloud.
[psst I'm making another person in the morning...just so you know]

(Lol night. :D Oh and at the bottom of my post I'll have a detailed picture of the marking on the back of Raven's hand since visual references are always good. :D Lol ok just be sure to send the bio to either one of us. :D)

"Yes but saying you would treat us like equals in a way could be..." Raven said quietly. He knew full well the laws that had been set forth and that there was mass corruption in the world and government. What he was really concerned about was Hazel saying he was her equal around the wrong person, as they could use that as suspicion of a romantic relationship between a slave and master which would be grounds for severe punishment. He knew that the same could be done for Suki as well, since a female relation with another female wasn't unheard of or uncommon either, but it was more suspicious with males.

Calmly he shook his head though to try and still those sorts of thoughts. The raven demon would just ensure that his Mistress was protected from such things no matter the cost. He allowed his interest and attention to once more drift to the box. His eyes glanced up at his Mistress and Suki as he gently reached for it, just to make sure it really was alright. When he had a hold of it he carefully brought it closer to him and drifted his gaze down to it. He could tell that there was indeed a seal on it, and a rather common one at that, or at least common for him. Gracefully, it seemed, he brought one gloved hand to his mouth and bit the glove so as to slide it off as his other hand still gently held the box. Once his hand was free it was clear for all to see that a strange marking seemed to be embedded into his skin with black ink. It too looked like it was some sort of seal, though in the shape of a strange and intricate clock face with the 'clock hand' pointed at the very top. He then dropped the glove in his mouth to the side and gently placed his hand on it. The black marking seemed to have an almost angry red glow around the edges of it as his hand came to rest upon the box. The word 'Release' was quietly uttered and the glowing soon increased before it suddenly seemed to go out. Raven then gently laid the box on the ground and gathered up his discarded glove to return it on his hand. "The seal's off now. It appeared to be one of the more common ones, but it should open for you now" he said quietly as he finished putting his glove back on.

His golden gaze then drifted back up to his Mistress. "What about Miss Dia?" he asked quietly though a small hint of tiredness seemed to drift on his tone. Behind him he heard the rabbit demon saying something along the lines of "It's alright I think Mjrn and I have it taken care of. Thank you for your help", which brought a calm smile to the raven demon's face. His mind became at ease when he heard that. "Shall I go prepare a carriage then Mistress Hazel?" he asked gently.

Dia winced as the water stung painfully she covered her mouth to keep from crying out. She shivered slightly the fur on her tail moving with her. "Please dont ill be fine" she begged her master. She stood up leaning slightly to the side to keep her weight from reaching her bad leg. Her ears were flat on her head "Can we.....just get going please?" she asked softly limping over to her master. She looked back at the wolf girl and gasped inwardly at her similar wounds.

Alice looked worriedly at Dia. "I think we should at least wrap it up a bit. Since we'll be walking then there will be more of a chance for your wound to get dirt in it and possibly become infected" she said with concern. Nevertheless if she didn't want her leg to be treated then the rabbit demon wasn't going to force her. She was just a bit concerned about her new companion and didn't like to see her harmed. She figured though that she wasn't going to let the fox girl walk on her harmed leg on the way back. If need be Alice was willing to carry her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven noticed the small wave and frown on the fairyfly woman and issued her a smile and return wave. He still awaited on whether or not his Mistress wished for him to go retreive a carriage, or if she had already brought one with her. He was also a bit surprised by the fox girl and wolf girl having similar reactions to their leg wounds. He wondered for a moment if perhaps it was a dog related demon thing. He wasn't sure if perhaps he should also offer his assistance further with Dia or not, seeing as his Mistress had a wounded servant as well.

Dia shook her head a small squeak escaping from her. She bounced back on one leg slamming into the cages. She stood up and shook her head. "I-id rather we just get going please" she said softly looking down her cream colored hair falling in front of her face. She limped back over to her master and took her hand, her small pale hand looking like a childs in her masters hand. She looked over at Mjrn and smiled.

Reaching out she took the box from Raven"If you don't mind that would be very kind of you." Hazel said wondering about his tattoo. She was going to ask about. "Goodbye Alice, It was lovely meeting you. I hope to see you Dia and Mjrn sometime. Get better Dia." She smiled at Them and turned back to look at suki.

Raven immediately bowed in a knelt position at his Mistress's words. "I shall go retrieve one now then. I shouldn't be too long Mistress Hazel" he said calmly as he stood up. He then swiftly headed towards the exit and disappeared out of it. He knew of a place that wasn't too incredible far that offered carriages to slave owners and masters so he figured he would head there. Once he was fully outside he unraveled his wings from his shoulders and quickly took to the air. Flying was always faster since there wasn't quite as much traffic in the air as there was on the ground.

He arrived within the designated area swiftly and gently landed before the rental area's entrance. It didn't take him long to also locate the owner of the rental area. Calmly he requested a carriage which he was immediately granted. The raven demon was known to be a loyal slave and had been in the rental area a few times already, so the owner knew and trusted him, and was even kind enough to have someone else be the driver. Thanking the man as he left he immediately told the designated driver where the carriage needed to be brought, and once confirming that the driver understood exactly where the carriage was to be brought, took to the skies again. It again didn't take him long to land outside of the slave market, a bit ahead of the carriage. He then swiftly when down the steps and weaved through the emptying cages. He was back at his Mistress's side in no time at all. "The carriage should be here momentarily Mistress Hazel. Shall I carry Miss Suki out?" he asked calmly with a bow.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alice was still visibly worried about Dia. "Alright, though once we are back at my home we're taking a look at that leg and treating it alright?" she said kindly but still in a no-argument tone. The rabbit demon didn't like the idea of the fox girl walking on her harmed leg, especially when she had slammed into the cages again. Her gaze then turned to Hazel. "It was a pleasure to meet you as well Miss Hazel. I hope that perhaps we can meet again sometime and perhaps set up some sort of arrangement that would allow Mjrn and Raven to possibly visit every so often? They seemed to hit it off so well, and I'd hate to tear away a perhaps promising friendship. I also thank you for you and Raven assistance with Dia" she said with a polite smile. Gently she motioned for the fox girl and fairyfly to start heading towards the exit, although she still held onto Dia's hand to prevent her from falling again as she didn't want the young fox girl to harm herself again.

Suki calmly nodded and then the curiosity was back with avengeance as the seal was broke. "I think I can walk Mistress Hazel." Suki said softly not trying to cause a fuss or trouble.

"Anytime you'd like to bring Mjrn over is fine with me. I'd be delited for your company." Hazel said waving goodbye. "Thank you For getting the carrage Raven, but we shall let Suki walk if that is what she wishes." She turned to suki and looked at her. "Are you sure you're going to be able to walk? You don't have to." Hazel smiled at Raven and Suki glad that they seemed to be very nice.

"Thank you Mistress Hazel, ether way is fine with me and plus Raven's already got a carriage." Suki said as she smiled back at her new Mistress. "Mistress Hazel, may I ask what is in the box?" Suki asked curiously as she looked at the box once more.

Hazel smiled and looked down at the box. "Why don't you open it and find out." She said handing the box to Suki.

Helena wondered where she and her new Master Mokoo were going. She vaguely assumed it was to the Master's home. But she let her imagination get the best of her as she began to wonder what kind of home the Master had.

Suki smiled as she lifted to top back to pear inside. The first thing that she pulled out was a letter with her name in blue ink on the envelope. She carefully unlatched the seal and started to read the letter
By the time Suki had finished reading the letter tears were dripping soroly from her chin and her face beaten with pain and longing to be held. Suki was frozen and she just couldn't stop reading the letter, this was the first time she had herd the truth and the true never hurt so bad and stung so deep. She wanted to speak though she could not the letter had stolen her words only leaving her moans and tears that would not stop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokoo sighed as he came to terms of the fact that what he was looking for was not there he turned as he walked back into the slave market seeing that just about all the slaves had bean purchased. Seeing a small group in front of one of the cages he decided he might see what was going on "If you let your mind wander too far you might miss an order or run into a wall." Mokoo said with a slight smile as he looked down at Helena.

Helena cracked a very small smile as she looked up to her Master. "May I, Master ask a question as to what you were looking for?" She then quieted herself and stayed close to her Master's side but behind him to a small distance of less then a few inches. Then she waited for his next command.

Hazel was reading the note when she noticed her new slave crying. "Please don't cry." Hazel said hugging Suki like a mother would hug her child. "I promise you that we'll find your brother. I'll make sure of it." She whispered softly hoping to comfort the young girl.
