@Chrystal: Ah, I kind of miss the bound and gagged part... Still, He might not have seen her in action but Ryuuji has deals with countless slaves before, so I don't think its a stretch if he recognize her "pretended" behavior to be just that. He might not be a slave expert at any rate but when you deal with one thing routinely, you just learn about various things about it. One look at her eyes would tell him already that Veronica isn't "broken" at all.
