He didn't laugh but he smiled at her.  "Your duties will be to keep my quarters clean and to cook.  You will begin to learn the language here.  I will have someone, another slave teach you.  I am sure I can arrange that.  Also how to play an insturment if you don't already and perhaps to dance.  Yes when I feel the need to enjoy your body that is another part of it, but not all of it.  You see even though you are a Pleasure Slave, a master must make sure that his slave is satisfied as well.  It is not a one way thing.  A master and slave have a very special relation ship."  he told her  he saw her cover herself with the blanket, but did not tell her to remove it.  She needed time to adjust and he knew she would eventually.  Most slaves forgot their past lives completely, as if their pasts had been a dream.  "Don't worry about your experience with sex.  That to will come to you when the time comes."<br/><br/>He watched her eat and after they were done he collected the bowls and cups and washed them and put them back into the saddle bags along with the cooking pot and tripod after cleaning them.  Midnight returned and settled down by the stream to drink and clean his beak and claws.  It was then time to again take to the sky and he hoisted Zoe up into the saddle once more and climbed up and put the retaining straps on once more.  But now her naked body was against his as he rearranged the blanket so she would stay warm.  He was use to the wind and the coolness of the air.  One day she might be as well.  Midnight flapped his powerful wings and launched himself into the air and gained altitude as they continued their journey to Ar's Station.  In a satchel he had a letter of introduction from the Tarn Commander of Ar.  it told of his skill with the Tarns and with his sword.  It held a recommendation as well.   He hoped to find a place he could call home.  With Jamal he had longed for a place that he could settle down in and be a part of.  Ar had enought Tarnsmen and warriors.  Ar's Station needed warriors and Tarnsmen.  So he hoped to make it his home.<br/><br/>When they landed for the night, he let her help him prepare the food and clean up afterwards.  Then he laid out the blankets.  Removing his sword and shield from his back he laid down and patted the blanket beside him.  "It will be cold tonight.  Come and be warm."  he smiled at her.  "Do not worry, you will not be used.  It is also for your protection out here."  Midnight lowered himself down and tucked his head under a wing.  Even though he might sleep the Tarn had an accute sense of things and would warn Daniel if someone or something approached.
