Darius took them down through the tower to the street level.  Like Ar the street was filled with people going here and there and of course masters with their slaves, some Free Women in their robes of concelment and other slaves going about their master's business.  The Tarn Tower was close to the southern wall where the gate to the grassy plain was.  Between the Wall of the city and the tower was a number of places and buildings that were one to three strores high, and also what looked to be a Sleen Training area.  When they emerged from the tower Daniel stopped and looked at this training area.  Two trainers were prodding a beautiful Black Sleen that was in a cage.  They were laughing and calling out to the Sleen. "Worthless she sleen. "  They yelled.  They were antagonizing the thing and something inside him just could not stand that.  He strode to the two trainers, grabbed them from behind and smacked their heads together, and let them fall to the ground.  He then approached the cage, the female Black Sleen snarling and hissing as she paced back and forth in the cage.  Daniel stood there looking at her and in a soothing voice, said, "It is alright, they will not hurt you any more.  Calm yourself, I am not here to hurt you but to help you."  The beast slowly seemed to settle and stopped pacing.  The snarling stopped and she looked at Daniel intently and sniffed the air.  It was not long before she laid down on the floor of the cage and watched Daniel who slowly approached the cage.<br/><br/>People stopped and watched.  There were hushed murmmers about how amazing it was that he seemed to calm the beast.  But then when he approached and reached forward with a hand towards the Sleen, they drew in deep breaths and watched in fear.  They all thought that Daniel was about to lose an arm.  But the Sleen allowed him to stroke its massive head and scratch it behind its ears.  What Daniel did next made the people scream in horror.  He unlocked the cage door and opened it.  They all moved back immediately ready to run away.  But the Sleen emerged slowly from the cage.  it stood almost to Daniels Shoulder and was a good ten feet long.  Sleen could grow to twenty feet long, but there were not many of those, that he knew of.  He had in his time on Gor only seen Sleen that were from ten to twelve feet long.  They were felines with Viper shaped heads and six legs.  This one was a magnificent specimen.  It left the cage and stood by Daniel looking at the crowd, snarling.  Daniel reached up and petted the Sleen's head again and it seemed to enjoy that.  He moved back towards Darius and Reese and the Sleen followed at his side, moving efortless.  He turned and threw some gold coins to the trainers that were shaking their heads and standing up.  "This should cover the cost of the Sleen."<br/><br/>Once the two arrived back where Darius and Reese were, Darius looked as if he was about to turn and run.  Sleen were something you did not mess with.  They were used for tracking, hearding and also for the Arena.  They were great for guarding things if they didn't turn on you.  The people all were backed up far away from them.  "She will not hurt you.  Will you girl. "  Daniel stroked the fur of its side.  The Sleen then turned its head to Reese and moved forward and sniffed the air about her.  Then the Sleen moved around Reese, rubbing up against her with her massive body, like a house cat on Earth would, and purred.  Daniel stood there a surprised look on his face.  First Midnight and now the Sleen.  Reese defenetly had the same ability that he did with some animals.  He had always seemed to make friends with the wild animals back on Earth.  He shook his head and said, "Well I think I will call you Sable."  he told the Sleen.  It looked at him when he called her that as if accepting the name.<br/><br/>Turning back to Darius, "Lets go I hope that the quarters are big enough for Sable as well."  Darius looked at Daniel disbelief in his eyes and the expression on his face.<br/><br/>"How?"  he looked between Daniel and Sable, "How did you do that.  She should have tore you to pieces.  She is not trained"<br/><br/>Daniel shugged his shoulders and said, "A gift I have I guess."  he grinned.  They proceeded away from the Sleen Training Area and Darius lead them to what looked to be a grouping of buildings around a central courtyard.  He opened the door to one of them and entered.  Daniel followed with Reese and Sable came in last and looked around.  She immediately went to the fire place and laid down in front of it, claiming it for her spot in the place.<br/><br/>"I will arrange for food to be brought over, along with sleeping furs and other supplies."  Darius.  said and then left.
