The house had been run with efficiency, the house slaves swept daily to keep the dust out, aired linens and kept the kitchen well stocked. Kyla was fair and kind to them never having to threaten them, merely ask then to do something and they would happily comply, even if it was weed the flower bed outside as it had overgrown with weeds and was disgraceful. Indeed she liked talking with them and getting to know them, understanding the difference between a house slave and a pleasure slave. She no longer felt threatened by them as it was clear Daniel had no real interest in any of the slaves except her. In fact between lessons she had Mertha and herself help the house slaves as it was part of their duties something Mertha hated with a passion.<br/><br/>Mertha was still difficult and lost her clothes often working hard to regain them. Sometimes taking a week or so to regain them when she really crossed the line. For the most the lessons we're going well. Kyla could fluently speak For, and was learning more and more of her duties as a pleasure slave. Despite her terrible singing voice they found a way around it so she could seronade her master, and was learning the harp.<br/><br/>She always awaited Daniel in slave position impaitent for him to walk through the door and greet them and her. The way he looked at her. She finally got what Lilly and Ellen we're talking about. He truly did care and showed it in many ways. Mertha was still convinced she could seduce the master of the house and often would offer him more than his preferred amount of paga, only to be turned down which always soured her. Kyla would stifle laughter. Her master wasn't a drunkard.<br/><br/>She had felt the stares and always stayed close to William when he escorted her to the gates. She liked to talk with him anyways. The night she was given the bracers she adored the gifts and soon quickly picked up how to use them and defend herself.<br/><br/>"Thank you master." She hugged him something she hadn't done before "the guardsmen are unsavory and if it weren't for William I fear what they might do to me." She said honestly. Then blushed. "Sorry for hugging you master without your permission." She dropped to slave position quickly, a tear forming in the corner of her eye. She had crossed boundaries as it was his choice to touch her not hers to make.<br/><br/>Mertha had been watching with Glee hoping to see the first girl punished for such a transgression.
