The men cto pick us up for lunch and they were in an interesting mood. Evan was more bothered by the plug than he had been this morning. He was restless and agitated. Most of the lunch he spent pacing behind our table.
“It has to cout,” I whispered to Damien and he disagreed.
The men wouldn’t listen. Evan had acted badly and would pay for it. The decision was made, still I fought them on it.

Interesting argument, was the consensus, but the answer was no. Evan had to learn. I would not always Listen and he couldn’t lose his temper like he had. The discomfort would not kill him.
“And you have done it for us,” Evan said standing behindfor a moment. “You never complained. I am not weaker than you are.”
We argued the difference between weakness and different physiology all the way back to our dwelling.
“Doesn’t matter what you want anyway,” Kein finally grinned.
“Five against one and you are not strong enough to best us in a battle. We will do as we wish.”
My eyes narrowed and I looked at his triumphant face.
“How’d you Like to be kept awake all night with questions, questions, questions?” I threatened. “It’s a choice to keep her amused,” I hissed out maliciously.
My cheeks were flushed and I felt ready to fight. It just wasn’t right to do this to Evan. I’d hated it when they did it toat first. If they gavemy sword right now I’d have a go at them.
Christof sighed and I looked at him. I abhorred the look of pity I was getting so used to seeing on his face. He reached out and grabbedbefore I could move away. The brief struggle in his arms was Limited by his Brothers pressing against my back.

I didn’t want to feel calm and sorry for myself, but I did. Christof knew I had not rested well the previous many nights, Last night had not been an exception. My human body was just exhausted. After some sleep, I’d feel much better.
The men wouldn’t Leave until Rose and I were in the pool. Basin wasn’t interested in leaving at all. He feared his Rose would drown. She had avoided this since she’d been here. Withnow here they feared the women would watch us.
“Hold the side,” I encouraged Rose, “and move yourself to the other end. I’ll swim right next to you. If you slip, I’ll catch you.”
Basin didn’t like that, neither did Damien. Shumans had a tendency to panic in the water. Rose was Likely to drownunintentionally That would be an unheard of catastrophe for all of us.
Clattering talons got all of our attention as Canta and another woman entered the room.
The woman was harsh and to the point. She wanted to know why Basin and his Brothers weren’t Leaving to go to their work.
“Our slave cannot swim, Mistress,” Basin answered.
