<strong>Dominus takes his stock to his study</strong><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Amplus/article-1057070-050F37D70000044D-98_468x465.jpg)</div>Upon hearing his title from his champion, as he came close, Manius nodded in acknowledgement before smiling to show how impressed he was with his champion. The man was magnificent. Perhaps he would gift him a slave of his choice for the night once the proceedings had died down.<br/><br/>While he waited at the entrance to the baths, for the Medicus to respond, he reflected on Ryann's situation. Her rage did not concern him. He had more important things to consider here and the inappropriate behaviour of a slave was not one of them. He had tamed far more aggressive slaves then her in the past. After all he had potentially saved her from the Doctore's punishment. Of course she did not know that this act was a sign of his generosity. He had decided that he would mentally torment her instead. As the use of physical force would be wasted on her since he did not want to potentially break her body.  If her rage persisted, which would be of great use in the arena, outside the arena, there were many options he could use.<br/><br/>Before deciding on tormenting her mentally, he considered  the cliff drop, which proved more than successful in the past, but not very cost effective. He could have her drugged, which would be fine for the Ludus but not so useful when she had to fight. Then there was the threat of being raped. He dismissed these ideas as soon as they came to him. There had to be a better punishment. Then it dawned on him. He would punish the others and make her watch. She would know that it was because of her. He would make sure of that. To begin with, he would have some of the men whipped and left on the sands then he would have one of the new females involved in an sex orgy of sorts. Non consensual of course as he wanted her to see the fear in the slaves eyes. Otherwise what would be the point. Perhaps one of the virgins, as there were plenty of them currently. This issue would soon be resolved he was certain of that.<br/><br/>His thoughts were soon brought back into the real world by the voice of Autolycus. He smiled to acknowledge the man. “Thank you” he said as the Medicus entered the baths with the Pict. Once they were out of sight, he turned to the others and commanded “Come, for we have guests that need our attentions.” So with the best that he could offer, he took them up the stairs and after turning right at the top, he headed in the direction of his study, where his guests would be waiting.
