Max finished his business, and watched on his monitor as Peach prepared Rowan for branding.<br/><br/>He listened to Peach over the monitor and admired her honesty and instructions - she would be a good guide for Rowan, if Rowan listened and learned as Peach had done.<br/><br/>Max entered and went over to his slaves.<br/><br/>"Well done Peach, you may kneel and watch" he said. "I will reward you later."<br/><br/>He checked on Rowan, and tightened her bindings as he though he would have to.<br/><br/>"Peach has explained that you now refer to yourself as Rowan. There is no I - no first person for you again, as you are owned by me, belong to me. You are a possession, therefore I has no meaning. Your name is Rowan.<br/><br/>As you are my property I am now going to mark you as such." he explained.<br/><br/>"Peach, show Rowan your brand, that she may know what her body will bear from now on."<br/><br/>"Rowan, prepare, for this will hurt, but hold still, I want good clear brand on you, that people may know who you belong to at a glance."
