Max almost gave out a light chuckle himself as he listened to Rimion talk about whether he was happy or sad about the issue of doing what he was told to do.  Max knew that his thought on that issue always differed from master to master.  The ruder the master the less likely he was to like doing anything.  Max really wanted to get to know more about the man so he decided that he would go ahead and asks the question.  “So why continue to do it, if you don’t like it.”  Max asked wondering.  “Why not become the master?  Be the one controlling the action.”   It took Max some time, but he learned if a slave really wanted out of the life they could do it, he was living proof.<br/><br/>Max could not help but get up on the island seat to look at what Rimion was looking at.  Slightly rubbing up against Rimion to look into the cupboard that Rimion had opened.  “Well I guess that will get to be your new project.”  Max stated shaking his head a little irritated at not noticing that Sam was not keeping it in better condition.  “I believe Sam and I need to have a discussion about whether or not he wants to keep his job.” Max growled out.   Just because Max did not use the kitchen did not mean he did not want it neat.  This just proved how long it had been since he had a slave.<br/><br/>Max really was not sure how to even start this conversation because he never had the kind of rapport with a servant as he had with Rimion.  “Well from now on we will be keeping all activities limited to the basement.  So if you do something to displease me, you will immediately go there when I tell you too.”  Max said as he thought about other things, “When you please me I shall give you the pleasure you desire, and if you displease me then it shall be what I desire."<br/><br/>Max was watching for his reaction to what he had said and then he wondered if he would like to play that way.  "Or I can just beat you anytime I feel like it.  Like maybe I can give you the punishment for Sam's messy cupboards?"  The whole time Max was talking there really was not much expression in his voice.  He could not help but smirk and raise a eyebrow, "I will bring out the whip again"
