Daniel chuckled as she hugged him and then got scared that she did something wrong.  She looked as if she thought he was going to punish her for the hug.  But he lifted her to her feet and put his arms around her, pulling her close to him.  "Everyone needs a hug now and then, and that I think is part of being a pleasure slave."  he smiled at her and then slowly moved his head forward and down to claim her lips for their real firs kiss.  His tongue slipped past her lips to duel with hers and he held her tightly to him.  Slowly he broke the kiss and looked down into her eyes.  "Do not be afraid to do things that might please me.  A pleasure slave usually does not have to ask her master's permission to do that and there are many ways to please me."  he told her.<br/><br/>Mertha was disappointed that Kyla had not been punished.  She had really forgotten what a pleasure slave was suppose to do.  She had been having her way for some time it seemed.  Unel  had been weak and had used paga to much.  Mertha had easily manipulated  him, but now she belonged to a strong Master, one that would not put up with her ways.  He already had an idea of what he was going to do with her.<br/><br/>He had her practice for a bit more and then took her inside.  She would ware the bracers to get use to them being on her fore arms.  The other slaves looked at her and them, they had all seen Daniel and her go out to the courtyard and watched as she used the blades on the pole.  William was the first to approach Daniel on the subject.  "It is not wise to arm a slave."  he said and realized that he was a slave telling his master that.<br/><br/>Daniel chuckled.  "I have a different out look on things.  Perhaps it is time for some changes.  You need no weapons at the moment to defend the house slaves and Kyla.  You have the training to defend with out weapons.  You will not always be there to protect her as i have other tasks for you planned.  So she will need to learn to protect herself here.  Other cities I would not worry about her safety.  Here the Warriors have fallen quite low."  That was another matter he wanted to address with the Ubar.  Beth and Lillith wanted to look at the bracers and were in awe at them.<br/><br/>"Master is allowing you to carry weapons?"  Beth asked.  "That is unheard of here on Gor.  No slave is allowed to touch a weapon."<br/><br/>"Master must have a high trust in you, Mistress."  Lillith said.  "Why has he given them to you?"<br/><br/>Mertha looked on,  but with a jealous look in her eyes.  There was also something else there, hard to describe, if one noticed.	Perhaps it was a desire, one to be Kyla at that moment.  To be the one of her masters attention and trust.
