As Lorne looked around, Hadrianus could see the cogs in his mind turning. Everyone he loved was dead, if he didn't go on living for them, the least he could do was die with some ounce of dignity. Nowadays, it wasn't entirely unheard of for slaves to be released, generally by a law case. Perhaps if Lorne knew this, he could find some dirt on Hadrianus and set himself free. Whatever he decided to do, it was important to follow the rules at least for now, to ensure he wasn't murdered at the hands of the enemy.<br/><br/>"You do as you are told, without the snark." He emphasised the snark bit, knowing this would be the hardest bit to get used to for his slave. "You start out as the lowest rank here, you do as anyone else tells you too. If you please me, I will grant you more privileges." Really, it sounded quite simple and easy. Not to mention mutually beneficial. Lorne would be kept alive while Hadrianus got a slave. "For now you will be working in the fullonica until I deem otherwise." The laundry was somewhere any imbecile could work, Hadrianus hoped this would keep Lorne away from anything dangerous until he could be trusted.<br/><br/>"And what do you have to say about all that?" He turned his whole body to face his slave now. It was a test to see if he was willing to follow the rules or not.
