Daniel chuckled when she told him of being chained to the cage for hours upon hours and the whippings and if that was the basics it was over doing it.  "No that is not the basics."  he told her.  "But you are right that is excessive in any case.  I was with a Slaver called Jamel.  I helped protect his caravan of slaves from raiders and the like.  He was a good man that knew how to treat the slaves he bought and sold.  Even those that came from Earth like you.  Punishment of the whip is to teach a slave the meaning of the whip.  Once used and the slave feels the pain, they usually do not want it repeated.  If the slavers that had you used it more often, then they were of a sort that were no good.  Slavers know the worth of a beautiful slave and they do not break the spirit of the slave, but mold it.  The basics I am talking about is the Slave position, a rudimentry knowledge of the language, how to address men as Masters and Free Women as Mistress.  You do not have to worry about being in a cage and chained or whipped, unless you are really bad and defient."  he explained a bit.<br/><br/>He grinned as he heard the story of how she came to be on Gor.  Typical of the Slavers that went to Earth.  They probably were the ones that started the fire in the first place, to cover the kidnapping.  People would think she was lost in the fire.  One way to have no one wondering where she was.  "I was on a battle field on Earth when they came for me.  Yes men are taken from Earth as well and I am from Earth as well.  I am not sure why I was brought here, but I was not destined to be a slave.  Jamal could not tell me why I was here.  He was just told that I was not to be branded nor collared.  I have yet to find out why I am here.  While I wait to find out, I am making a life for myself here. "  When she talked of marriage he chuckled.  "Well sometimes that is the way of things on Earth, but the man is always the one calling the shots there in the so called Marriage, and most do not last do they.  A woman might think she has found the perfect man and find out he is quite different then she thought.  We have here on Gor something like Marriage.  It is called Free Companion.  Both parties agree to a seven year term of living together.  At the end of the seven years they can renew the contract or go their seperate ways.  But men prefer slaves.  Less stress on both sides and usually the Slave finds her master quite appealing and falls in love with him.  The Master, well he might do the same depending on the slave.  There are those that will not sell a slave for any amount of money.  Those are rare though."<br/><br/>He  looked down at the ground and saw a caravan moving north.  The long line of wagons, Kallia Riders, and people.  Such a trip to Ar's Station would take days to make from Ar, but on Tarn back, they would be their in a couple days.  "Do not fear giving into what they would call the basic instincts on Earth.  The desire to please, the desire to be creative, and the desire to be free of the inhibitions that is placed on Men and Women of Earth.  Be proud of your body.  You have one that men will crave.  Here it is alright to show it and to be proud of it.  When I talk about how you are more free here on Gor then Earth, it is just that.  You do not have to put on a pretense that you don't like men looking at you.  If they do then you are desireable to them.  The only thing you have to worry about is pleasing your master, which is me. "  he smiled.  "It is a lot to take in and get ones mind to accept when they have been taught so many different things on Earth.  But you have seen the slaves in Ar, those with their masters and those enjoying the freedom of teasing men with their bodies.  They are happy, carefree.  What is wrong with that.  The Master is the one that has to worry about things."
