{Merry Christmas! @Arechi I'm not going to be here the next few days so I'll post when I can but Hazel is kind of frozen for 2 days..Sorry.}

Hazel smiled slightly and kept walking to the door. She turned and looked at Raven with a grin on her face. "Just so you know, I'm not mean....unless I'm in a bad mood." She turned and moved all the way outside of the slave trade and kept speaking. "I Will not treat you as a slave, you're still part demon, oh and I can't cook to save my life, so that might be something I have you do." She smiled at him. Hopeing he could cook because she was tired of having the same thing every night. If he couldn't cook, then she wouldn't be very happy. "And my house is all the way by the castle so we have a long walk." She started walking down the street in the direction of her house still smiling.

((Sorry about the lack of activity. Lost internet for a bit.))
Her blue eyes went to Ieao as she smiled at him. "Sorry for the shock. I hope you'll get used to both my forms." Dawn said as the light from the outside made her hair shine. She was a tan human with intricate tattoos along her torso. The red swimsuit barely covering her.

(Lol it's quite alright. I've been rather busy myself lately. :sweat:)

Raven quietly listed to his new Mistress as she spoke. He didn't really know what to think at the notion of not being treated as a slave, since after all that's what he was. This of course meant that he could indeed cook and nodded his head in understanding that it was something she would ask him to take care of. He quietly followed the woman though paused as she began walking down the street. "Madam what about the request that the merchant just relayed to you? He said that one of the other Madam's down there wished to speak with you" he inquired quietly to her and looked back to see that the slave trader had followed them outside, still in need of an answer to give the rabbit demon that had asked him to make the request to Hazel.

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

Alice smiled at the young fox girl as she told that the necklace was her memento of her family. "I see. It is quite lovely and I can tell you've taken very good care of it" she said praising the girl and trying to make sure that she remained somewhat comfortable with her and Mjrn. The rabbit demon could tell that her new servant was pleased that she had made the request to try and get the woman whom had purchased the half raven demon, and that in turn pleased her. After all she liked to ensure that her servants and companions were happy.

She had noticed out of the corner of her eyes though that the said woman had apparently walked off without any sort of reply to the slave trader that she had sent. When the slave trader looked back towards her, she temporarily turned her gaze from the fox demon and to the trader, motioning and giving a stare that required him to follow after and get a response. She was a bit pleased when he immediately went to carry out the silent order. When it came to the happiness of her servants, Alice was not one to be trifled with especially when a request went unanswered, and she would demand an answer herself from the woman if she needed to.

After she ensure that it would be taken care of she turned her attention once more back to the slave girl in the cage. She had also seen that Mjrn seemed to also like the fox girl, since she was cute after all, and considered seriously about possibly buying the fox demon too, though first she would get more familiar with the girl just to make sure. "If this question isn't too emotional or too hard on you, would you mind telling me how it was you ended up here?" she asked the girl gently as her gaze reflected kindness and reassurance.

Dias eyes widened, she looked down and a tear escaped falling down her cheek, "M-my family was f-forced to give m-me up when i w-was very little" she stuttered. She brought her tail around her again ready to hid back in the soft fur. She looked over at the womans slave then back to the woman. "I was sent to serve a vile man, but he was old so when he died i ended up here" she said in a quieter tone.

Mjrn had noticed that the raven boy was now gone. It was sad to see him gone. He was so lovely, she just hoped he had a nice master. Then she turned back to Alice and little Dia. She frowned when she heard the little girl's story. Mjrn was glad that Alice had taken her in so that hopefully couldn't happen. Her eyes showed sorrow for the girl, but she was glad that the little fox girl was alright. It could have been much worse and ended in her demise. Mjrn hoped that she would speak to the raven boy. He seemed so effortlessly kind and elegant

---/<3\---

The beast master looked to his master and nodded. "It was just a surprise, ma'am," he answered smoothly. He had come to notice the woman was quite beautiful. Also she was scantily clad. Much diffrent then the prissey princesses he had worked for before. She was a much diffrent woman. His gaze returned again out the window. He loved looking outside at the beautiful world he was constantly shut away from.

Alice looked kindly and sympathetically at the fox demon. "You poor girl. I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that. Here" she said gently and reached into a rather concealed pocket on her blouse, that was hidden due to the rather large bow that was covering it, and pulled out a cloth. She offered it to the young fox girl so that she could dry her eyes. It was then that it was set in her mind that she would indeed purchase the Dia, so that she would not encounter such a terrible fate again. First though she would have to wait for the slave trader that was selling her to return from the previous errand she had sent him on.

Dia looked up at the woman and timidly took the cloth, she patted her sea green eyes and looked at the woman, "will i ever get out of here?" she asked in a choked voice, she was on the verge of breaking into tears again. She handed the cloth back to the woman, "thank you" she said quietly.

"I am sorry to hear that. I will never treat you that poorly, I swer." Mokoo said in a kind voice

She smiled as she noticed her new slave looking her over. Dawn moved to the other side of the carriage and looked out the window then at his face. "Don't see many scenes, do you?" Her arm brushed his shoulder as she got danergously close to her new pet. But never really crossed the line. "Good thing your room has a balcony and a large window. I'll trust you know not to run from me."

The little fairyfly felt as though she was going to cry for the poor fox. She felt it was unfair for horrible things to happen to such good people. Though Mjrn did not personally know the fox it seemed as though she could do no harm to anyone. She looked over her shoulder at the empty raven's cell. Mjrn wished she had talked to him in her time there. He seemed such an interesting creature. Oh, how she hoped the master would let her speak to him even if it was just once.

~

Ieao felt his master's arm brush lightly against his shoulder. He shivered in response not being used to such subtle and gentle contact. His gaze remained out the window. "Usually, my masters keep me in their basements. Otherwise I am held in that cell, so I experience the world's beauty very little, ma'am," he answered coolly. Ieao turned his crimson gaze to her. "No, I shall not run away, I have learned better," he replied. The bird demon's gaze remained on her for a moment then he returned his gaze to the window. He cursed himself a little for wishing the master to take him. She was indeed very beautiful, but relations between slave and master were indeed forbidden.

Hazel glanced back. "Oh, I wasn't even paying attention." She laughed turning around and walking back to the slave trader. She looked back once to make sure that Raven was behind her and then smiled at the man. "I will go speak with her now." She said softly putting her hand on ravens wrist and pulling him back inside with her. She kept walking over to the woman who wanted to speak with her. "Hello, sorry about that. What is it you wanted to speak with me about?"

Raven was a bit surprised when Hazel grabbed his wrist to follow after her. He would have done it willingly, but he didn't bother resisting. After all if his Mistress wished to have him follow by his wrist then there was nothing he would do to discourage it.

He didn't exactly feel at ease as he was being dragged back into the slave market. After all the messenger had said if she wished to meet the other woman outside she could. He wasn't surprised when the one who had sold him to Hazel had made a move towards her to inquire if she wished to return him. He stopped though once their true destination was clear. His golden gaze rested on the woman they were heading towards and the fairyfly that was beside her. He immediately pieced together that the woman really did buy her and she appeared to be looking at another in a cage. "Madam shouldn't we wait for her to finish speaking with the fox girl?" he asked quietly, though Hazel had already said something to the woman so his words were a bit late.

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

Alice once more smiled kindly at the fox girl and gently took back the cloth once she was finished with it. "Yes you shall get out of here. That is if you wouldn't mind coming with me and being a companion of Mjrn and I" she said gently. She really thought that the fox girl would also be a good companion as well. The rabbit demon also knew she could afford the girl based on the price that was on her cage. Besides she didn't want the fox to encounter another horrible owner.

She then noticed out of the corner of her eye the that slave trader she had sent was heading back and heard the question of the girl behind her. She was pleased that the woman had chosen to come back and speak with her and only hoped she would agree to let the raven demon and Mjrn be able to speak to one another. "Excuse me one moment ok?" she asked the fox girl kindly before standing up and turning around.

"I was actually wondering if you would allow your new servant there and Mjrn beside me have a chance to speak with one another. You see Mjrn has wanted to speak with that raven boy there for a little while" she said gently relaying her request to the woman.

Hazel shruged and let go of Ravens wrist. "Why not." She smiled at the Fox girl. Then turned to look at raven. She ignored his comment about being polite. That wasn't really in her nature. Of corse she was going to pretend not to hear him because other wise she would start yelling. Which wouldn't be good and would have him just as scared of her as every other slave she's had.

[sorry I haven't posted, I've been sicker than a dog lately]


"Thank you Master Mokoo, I'm sure you'll be a wonderful Master." Helena said keeping closely behind him on the right side. "And I will do all in my power to be a best slave ever".

Mjrn was overjoyed to hear that Master Alice would be purchasing the fox girl. She had felt quite bad for Dia and wanted her to come with them as well. Though the fairfly wasn't sure what kind of slave work she or Dia would do being small, but Alice would find something she was sure. Then to her surprise the Raven boy and his master were there. She seemed a little bossy, but Mjrn was no one to judge. The little girl looked to the raven and smilied. She held up her one hand and waved to him a little. Mjrn was happy that Alice was her master she was such a good person, and so very very kind to her. Her eyes looked to the master once then diverted away. She was quite pretty, but Mjrn didn't want to seem to rude.

Dias eyes widened, "You will?" she asked, she would have twirled around if she wasnt in a cage. She looked over at the other slave Alice had, well Master Alice now. She unwound her tail, her pale knees almost touching the bars, several dark scars covered the part of her thighs that you could see, one long scar took up most of her left knee and disappeared under her dress. She looked at it and covered it with her tail again.

Raven's eyes calmly passed between his master and the other woman who too was clearly a master, though he looked neither in the eyes. There was only one that he would currently look in the eyes comfortably and that was the fairyfly woman who had been indicated of wanting to speak with him. As he witnessed her wave at him he gave her a kind smile and waved back. Calmly he debated upon whether or not he should wait for his Mistress to give him permission to speak with the other slave, but then again Hazel had already said she'd allow the fairyfly girl to speak with him so in a way she did. He did notice that his Mistress had said nothing about his comment on politeness and figured that for now it would be best to leave that be. After all before they had been stopped she had mentioned that being in the slave market risked putting her in a foul mood, which he was sure would not be a pleasant thing.

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

Alice smiled at the other master. "Thank you" she said kindly and nodded at Mjrn indicating that she was free to speak with the raven demon freely. She then glanced back at the fox girl in the cage. "Yes really" she said with a kind smile and reached once more to her side to withdraw her pouch of coins. With the same calmness as she had with Mjrn's slave trader she dropped the proper amount within Dia's slave trader's hands. The trader then quickly began undoing the chains that bound the fox demon and opened her cage. Like with Mjrn's slave trader this one too offerred a leash to Alice, which she promptly declined.

The rabbit demon had noticed the amount and size of the scars on her second companion. Some of them looked as if they had been painful when inflicted. She had noticed Dia quickly covering up a few, one in particular, with her tail and the rabbit thought that perhaps it would be a touchy subject or painful memory for her. Pushing those thoughts aside she calmly and gently offerred her hand to the fox girl to help her up, still smiling kindly and warmly at her. She figured that after she helped her second companion out of the cage she would then speak with the one who owned the raven demon.

Her eyes stayed on him as she saw him shiver. Dawn scooted away a little bit, not wanting him to be uncomfortable. She smiled as she closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the wall. "I'll have to get some real clothes on when we get to my house. You seem to look me over quite a bit." The demoness said as she looked over at him.

Hazel ignored Raven and the other girl speaking. She stood waiting. It wasn't really as if she were anoyed it was more as if she had somewhere to go. Hazel wondered what the other girl wanted to talk to raven about and had to stop herself from listening in. She liked to know everything, including anything about slaves.

Dia waited with wide eyes as the chains were undone and the cage was unlocked. She moved forward slowly and took her new masters hand to jump down. She winced as a little pain ran up her leg but she quickly smiled. Her ears twitched an she looked over to another master who looked like she really didnt want to be here. Reaching to her neck she clasped her hand down on her necklace and continued to look around. "Master? where do you live?" she asked her, she hoped it wasnt too far away, she didnt like closed in spaces.

Alice calmly and kindly continued to smile down at the fox demon. She had noticed that the girl had made a small look of pain when she jumped down and that concerned her a bit. She knew that her first order of business when she returned home would be to look at and treat any and all pained areas on her. The rabbit demon didn't like the idea of her companions in pain or suffering. "You may call me simply Alice if you'd like. And I don't live too far from here. It's a short walking distance, and an even shorter carriage ride" she replied gently. She was determined though that Dia would be doing no such walking if she could help it. Alice believed that the best thing for the fox demon would be for her to stay off of her legs or putting any large amount of weight on her body.

She figured though that they would have plenty of time for the fox girl to rest a bit if need be since Mjrn would be speaking with the raven demon, though for how long she didn't know. She didn't mind waiting, though the other woman appeared perhaps otherwise. She hoped though that this wouldn't force the fairyfly to cut her conversation with the raven boy short because of it.

Dia leaned against the cages and sighed, "Alright miss alice" she said softly. she looked over to her masters other slave and the raven boy, the girl seemed very interested in the boy. She looked around at the other cages and she shifted her weight on the other leg wincing slightly. Her ears were flattened to her head, but they perked up when she heard the word carriage, "Miss alice? can we walk? i dont like carriages" she admitted looking down.

Mokoo smiled at his new pet as she spoke "yes, I have no doubt you will try your best to be a good slave." Mokoo said as he glanced at a group of masters and slaves that were talking. "As long as you don't try to run away you'll stay on my good side." Mokoo said calmly as he looked back at the girl.

Suki put her head down on her knees as she wished she were dead rather then in this gloomy place where she doubted she would ever be bot. "Why am I always the last slave to be bot?! I wish I weren't a slave or at least not in this cage."

Mjrn saw the nod from Ms. Alice and grinned. It was a sign that she could speak with the raven boy. "Hello Mr. Raven," she said softly to him her voice chimming. Then she beamed at him as he smilied at her. "You are quite lovely looking you know. I asked my master if I could talk with you because you seemed really nice and you have wings like me. And your wings are such a pretty color," the fairyfly rambled fluttering her wings lightly behind her, "Oh how silly of me, my name is Mjrn. It's nice to finally get to talk to you mister." Mjrn was so excited to be talking with him. He was a pretty raven and she loved his dark wings. She was very happy that their master had decided to purchase Dia. She was a very lovely, nice girl. Mjrn had felt quite bad for her. Her gaze then again returned to the raven demon's.

------

Ieao chuckled a little at her statement. "Pardon me for saying so master, but you are quite beautiful. And I am not used to female masters to look like you. They were cute, but they all wore long dresses that resembled princesses," he answered coolly. He turned his gaze from the window and smilied at her. "Also these ladies never sat close to me, or even touched me with their fingertips. It was only abuse with those ones. So your touch surprised me, my appoligies," he stated quietly. Ieao had not felt awkward when she brushed him just surprised.

Raven was slightly surprised that the girl seemed to know the name he went by, when he first met or was around a person, at first. Though as Mjrn talked on he realized she was merely calling him by the type of demon that he was. He gave her a kind smile as she commented on his wings. At that time he allowed his wings to freely appear once more and rest gently folded on his shoulders once more. "Hello Miss Mjrn, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Raven, though you can simply just call me Raven rather than Mr. Raven" he said gently with a small and polite bow.

Even as he bowed he allowed his dark eyes to remain on the fairyfly. "I thank you for your compliments. I must say you are rather lovely yourself. I find that the colorful array within your own wings are quite a refreshing sight within this dark and gloomy place" he said gently. Even in the dark gloom he could still clearly make out the colors within her wings that he felt complimented her clothing and beauty. He was also quite happy that he too had the opportunity to speak with the lovely girl. He also felt her personality was as kind and lovely as she looked.

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

Alice gave a kind smile to the fox girl as she spoke her request. "Yes, I see no reason as to why we couldn't walk. After all I walked here anyways so it would have taken a little while for my carriage to be brought here. However are you sure you should be walking? You appear to be in some pain" she said gently though concern was clearly woven in her tone. Again she didn't like the idea that one of her servants were wounded. Despite that though, if Dia truly wanted to walk, she would allow her to, although she would keep the pace slow so as to reduce the girl's pain and uncomfort. If possible she would try and have someone, whether it be a possible slave here or herself, to carry the girl.
