Subject: Even If It's Dignified Mewling? Author: Krev [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:12:31 01/30/07 Tue In reply to: Dorjan 's message, ".. Stop Mewling .." on 13:15:29 01/30/07 Tue Krev immediately, although somewhat stiffly, finished the food on his plate. There was no telling just how long he'd have to sustain his body on the vitamin-rich slop that the pit fighters were given, if at all. After he had completely cleaned off his plate, the jaglion shifter lay the fork gently on the table with a hand that shook. The male swallowed the lump in his throat and realized that his mouth had gone dry. There was a line of thought somewhere in the back of his brain to just up and run for it, no matter how bad the consequences. That was a rather sudden reaction to the current situation, and since Krev liked to plan these kinds of things out, decided to ignore it for the time being, but to keep in as an emergency plan in case something drastic happened to the poor kid. Staring down at the clean plate, Krev remembered the wine and took a small sip of it before clearing his throat, obviously waiting for permission to speak, or at least do something.

The stiffness in the shifter's actions, despite the amount of blood-alcohol that Dorjan had just drowned, was not unperceived. In fact, Krev was certainly being heavily scrutinized at this point in time. Dorjan was judging his actions as if to a point, black eyes staring without really even needing to see him to simply know what was going on. The shaking, however, was a sign that was almost so obvious it was unexpected. Dorjan himself wondered for a moment if he had really noticed it. "I would have thought that you would be more composed, Krev. Was your former master perhaps so lenient or strict on you that I should deserve this at my dinner table?" It seemed as if the vampire viewed this situation to his disadvantage, as if Krev was purposefully insulting him in some strange way simply by being too frightened. Of course, this conclusion probably wouldn't help to settle the poor shifter's nerves any, but it didn't seem as if Dorjan cared too much about that. "If you wish to say something, do it." Although the 'now wasn't directly spoken, there was a heavy implication that it was there, pressing down on Krev for action. .. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Krev [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:45:48 02/02/07 Fri Krev neither replied nor even showed any awareness that the question had been asked of his former Master. It was far too close to home to have a response. The second command was a bit trickier to manage. Krev opened his mouth, coughed softly, then closed it. If he said what was on his mind, then he would surely be threatened. Again. If he didn't, that could be considered a refusal of a direct command. Arg, this was complicated. Deciding to take a chance, Krev cleared his throat. "I believe Keir requires some assistance, sir." It was the politest way he could say what was on his mind: Keir is in trouble and I don't think you're doing a good job of protecting him. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Dorjan's eyes narrowed slightly at Krev as he ignored and paused to his near-commands. When the shifter finally did speak up, it was certainly not to Dorjan's taste. The frown that was beginning to creep onto his face deepened and drew crow's feet around the corner's of his mouth. He did not like begin spoken down to, especially when it was sugar-coated, and especially when it was one of his own slaves that was doing the talking. Not to mention the simple fact that Krev had ignored his initial question. "You will learn where your place is here quick enough, Krev. Or you won't be keeping certain things close to you at all." He set his glass down on the table with far too much precision. "His failures, as you have already made clear, will fall on your head." There was no doubt from Dorjan's tone that what had happened with Keir was indeed a failure. .. .. dubbed ..

You've clarified my understanding of that earlier." There wasn't any remnant of pain in his shoulder, but just the idea frightened him. To have that strength and to be able to use it in the pits; my, what a dream. Krev sat silently now, finished with his dinner, unsure of where the conversation would go next. He'd certainly screwed up badly. "I apologize for ruining dinner, sir. I'm not used to being apart from Keir. But, I'm sure that I'll adjust soon." It was the only thing left for him to say. No doubt, if the Master had plans for him to be punished, then there was no way to deviate from those plans or even change them. For the worse, maybe. But, never for the better.

The vampire stared for a while at Krev after he had spoken, trying to weigh whether the boy had been purposefully malignant in his first words or unconsciously so. Either way, it should most likely be pointed out to be corrected in the future. Dorjan's eyes narrowed the smallest fraction. "I would presume that for your better health and continuing comfort that you would do as you have just stated." His voice was plain this time around, the threat that usually resided underneath it missing. At the same time, the vampire pondered whether or not to pour himself another glass. Krev was done eating, but it just wasn't proper to base allof his actions around Krev's whims. Especially this one. The shifters would have to learn to be apart from one another, and they'd have to learn so fairly quickly. "You can't fix dinner, but your remorse is dully noted." Flatter this time, and the anger was broiling behind the words again. .. .. dubbed ..

He sat, silently, waiting for the Master to dismiss him. There was nothing that he could do to make things go faster or better except for wait. Krev pushed Keir out of his mind, suppressed the urge to check in on his extra sense ever-so often just to see how the kid was. If the Master could sense his anxiety, then it was best not to be anxious, right? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Dorjan decided against the blood-wine. It wouldn't do him much good at this point, and it wasn't like the alcohol ever effected him anymore anyways. It was more that it was a gesture of civility than anything else. He gave a flick of his hand, sighing. "Go to him, and keep him with you in the quarters." Dorjan didn't move from his seat, merely sunk his head into one of his hands and stared at the bottle of white wine that Krev hadn't exactly finished. "Take the wine with you, at least," the vampire threw in as an afterthought. So much for dinner indeed. .. .. dubbed ..

Bowing, he went to back up, but then took the bottle as well. "Thank you, sir. I'll be sure to keep Keir close by." Krev would surely need the alcohol to drown out the whining by Keir tonight; that is, if the kid wasn't having nightmares. The tall shifter bowed once more and exited the room, half-trotting towards the guest bedrooms right after he was sure that the door had closed behind him. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
