Kimiko stiffened at being called a bitch even if it was Comhe calling her that. She calmed herself then spoke descending into a sitting position "I was wondering if you could give me the chance to prove myself." The question was foolish and she doubted she would receive permission. As a Dragon Slayer Kimiko was worth a lot of money, as a fairly attractive girl she was worth a lot of money and as a dancer she was worth quite a bit of money. As she waited longer for a response she thought about what her chances of escape were. Kimiko spent most of the time being worked to exhaustion and fed only the minimum. It was true she was given ice but it was done in such an embarrassing way. A single cube of ice that others would use for a drink was all she got a day. It kept her alive but wasn't enough to revitalize her magical energy.
