The other creature approached closer to the Matriarch and two soldiers drew swords and readied their shields in front of her. Its tentacles moved quickly and in erratic patterns as it stared at her. She smiled warmly after a moment and spoke as the words rolled off her masterful silver tongue "Come now, there is no need to be so angry. Ill make you a deal, next time one of my house is to be executed they will be yours. You get that tender and sweet tasting meal and I get the girl. Everyone is happy."<br/><br/>The thing took a step back and made its way out of the plaza. Soon the soldiers relaxed and sheathed their swords and then the matron looked back up to the auctioneer. "I do not believe anyone has made a higher bid, shall we conclude the auction?" she said softly.<br/><br/>The auctioneer was surprised by the confrontation but nodded and without hesitation concluded the auction and had the guards lead her down to the plaza. She was immediately forced down to her knee's in from of the Matriarch and two of the soldiers moved to each side of her attaching a small chain to her wrist shackles.<br/><br/>"You'll guard her as we go home." she told them before taking a step forward and grabbing a fist full of the girls hair. She pulled it just slightly to force her to look up into her eyes. "I am Emyala Ver'lin, Matriarch of house Ver'lin, loyal priestess to the spider queen. You belong to me now and by extension House Ver'lin. Unless otherwise instructed by an individual, from this point on you will look to the ground when one of our house speaks to you. I am one of those exceptions, when I speak to you you will look up into my eyes. Do you understand?"<br/><br/>OOC: Yep you were right
