"Very good." Ronen said as he heard her calling him master.<br/><br/>He always loved how that sounded. And having it come from the beauty before him made it seem so much better. The pirate looked forward to hearing it more in the future. Hopefully, she'd have less contempt for him soon as well. Jade did as he told though, so he did as she asked.<br/><br/>"Is that so?" He said once he heard her abilities. "That will help me very much. Thank you pet."<br/><br/>As Ronen spoke, he cupped her cheek, his thumb caressing her face. She'd be of more use than he thought. Supposing she deserved to be rewarded, the pirate turned back to the food in front of him. Taking the bowl of grapes in his hands, he plucked out a small bunch and dangled them over Jade's head.<br/><br/>"Here, take them." Ronen said kindly. "What other skills do you have? Tell me, please. It doesn't matter if you think they'll help me or not, or even if you think it's embarrassing. I'd like to know what you enjoy doing. After all, I do wish to keep you happy. Yes, I know I just hit you, but as much as I hate it, discipline is needed. Just be happy that you're not a generic slave being trained by Beatrice. She leaves no leeway in her rules, and her punishments are much harsher."
