<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">They had been having such a good 'fuck all' time that Zara felt a bit guilty at having brought up the topic again. She straightened up and groaned at the sudden movement before she forced herself to crawl towards him. Her dress was accumulating grass stains but she didn't care too much. In her drunken state...Zara was actually a bit concerned for the other whore. She stopped right in front of him and sat down on her knees, regarding him silently.<br/><br/>"You can't hide it," Zara said firmly, reaching out to brush his hair aside, except...she was a bit inebriated so the movement was a bit clumsy. She tucked his hair behind his ear and shook her head, hiccuping lightly before she continued, "You're going to tell them, Anel....and then....then if they want to kick you out, tell me. I'll fight for you..." She didn't know if she would or not...hell, much like Anel, the Teahouse was all she had. Would she be stupid enough to risk it for someone who she <em>barely</em> liked? "They can't...I...." She sighed and shook her head firmly, muttering, "I don't know how much money..." She frowned as she tried to think of the amount for Anel's virginity but she couldn't. It had never even crossed her mind to be concerned over it.<br/><br/>She petted his hair like she would a child and said in a soft crooning voice, "Want to go shopping for new toys?" She smiled brightly as she tried to make Anel feel better, "I know this amazing French man who does the best whips and the best ropes and floggers." She sat back and tilted her head, regarding Anel, "I'll call him and we can visit him! We'll sneak out once Master Ryan and Atti have gone to discuss business..." <em>Why did they spend so much time together? As if Master Ryan couldn't take care of himself?</em> She shoved the thoughts away and continued, "And then once we return with your new items we'll come out here and burn your old ones."<br/><br/>"But...you won't be kicked out, Anel...you won't..." There was a slight undercurrent of fear that Zara was trying not to show. Could Master Ryan truly kick someone out because they had been forced to have sex? Could he be that cruel? <em>Of course he can,</em> a little voice whispered, <em>It's all business. No one cares about whores...they care about the profit.</em> If that was true...Anel was doomed.</span>
