Marteen goes back to the post his ankle chain was attached to.  A bit surprised that not one, but both of the belligerent males were taken.  But, it was not for the likes of him to understand the ways of females.  He was a slave, and they free, and thus, have no reason or duty to explain themselves to him.  Still, it was perplexing.  He settles down to his knees next to the post, to wait until another potential mistress might come by.  Little he could but watch and wait.
