Drinian needed another hand in the house; dishes weren't going to get washed by themselves.  Sometimes, he wanted someone to speak to, but of course without the arguing or talking back.  Oh, it would help if she could cook as the domestic servants he had now couldn't cook a pot roast even with directions!<br/><br/>The one just being auctioned was way to ... novice like.  She looks like she was totally inexperienced; he would not depart with his precious silver pieces for someone so beginner.<br/><br/>Another was coming out now; you always showed interest in a slave by approaching her.  If you were the only one, you could name your own price.  If others came, you had to fight the other interested parties first.  Either way, auctioning could be very interesting.<br/><br/>When she came to the front, Drinian knew something was different about her.
