She did as she was told, sitting near him, but not close. She pulled the fur up further on her shoulders. It was warm where they were located, but she didn't want to give up her covering. She did, however, set down the bowl of stew and drink she had been offered. She wasn't in the mood to eat, and her stomach still churned from the events of the day. She stared off into the distance, her mind runming a mile a minute. She still couldn't comprehend the predicament she now found herself in. She had been taken off to another strange planet, all her surroundings new and terrifying. She would never see her parents again. And not only had she lost her family, but she had also lost her freedom. She was now the personal toy of a strange man she'd only met a few hours before. She would have to submit to him. Dhe had no other choice.<br/><br/>Castallia's gaze fell down to her lap. Her throat began to burn and she could feel the tears coming again. She hated the thought of crying in front of him once more. How weak and fragile she must look. Castallia quickly wiped away a hot tear as it began to roll down her cheek. "I'm sorry." She muttered to him. "It's all just a lot to take in." She said gently, her voice cracking, and her eyes still aimed at the ground. Again, another tear streamed down her cheek. She felt so foolish for lettting herself fall apart in front of him. She breathed slowly, trying to compose herself. But try as she might, the tears still fell. Castallia had always been a sensitive girl. Her mother said she had a big heart, and with that heart came big emotions. If her mother had been there that moment, she would have hugged Castallia warmly, running her fingers through the girls hair, singing softly to her.
