Darya & Valentia. Callie & Nonami. Linda. Chun. Darius & Kumiko.<br/><hr/><br/>Rayn felt Chun's fingers gripping his wrist tightly before he saw her, she moved with startling speed to defend the slave. His eyes widened as she began to dig into his wrist and spoke in such a disrespectful tone. He felt his love stir in his lap and he put his free hand on her shoulder and pulled her back into his chest as she spoke, a repeat of the Emperium would not be fitting on a free woman. When Chun released him he saw her head fall, obviously repentant that she had stepped out of line. It was not one free persons place to tell another how to treat their property.<br/><br/>When her eyes fell down Rayn reached out, softly touching her arm. Motioning Rosalie off his lap and standing. "It's okay my dear." He said with a sincere smile "I'm sure this must all be quite a culture shock for you... I felt the need to do it myself in my first few days in Monaco. Did you know Egypt is a free state as well." He spoke sympathetically. "Just know what I did was for her own benefit, she's in training you see... One has to be tough on them, or else they might end up with a dissatisfied Master who is far crueler." He paused for a moment, thinking. "Now I know Zhang would just hate it if we got off to the wrong foot... I have a little business to attend to, but how about I show you around Monaco in a few days, perhaps even tomorrow. Help you adjust." He waited for her reply before turning to the slaves on the floor. "Stay." He said simply to them, knowing they were in good care, and still in sight. He gave Rosalie a kiss on the cheek, moving the veil aside. "Look after the merchandise princess." With that he allowed Linda to pull him away to a private area.<br/><br/>Rayn Listened to her predicament, looking over at the four new slaves she had procured. "Yea, I think Ryujji is trying to go straight now. You're not exactly selling her to me Linda...She seems like a lot of trouble." He saw that look on her face and sighed. "Fine, I'll give you 15000 for her." After some complaint and haggling they settled on a price. "Fine... because your a friend, 18000, and hey, this invite to this lovely party I got you." He laughed, shaking her hand and kissing both her cheeks. It was probably a little over a third of what all four girls would be worth. But on the other hand the property was so hot no other trader would touch it for miles, and those who would probably wouldn't pay half of what Rayn would. "The things I do for friends eh?"<br/><br/>Rayn stood with Linda and listened to Paulette sing. "She's good isn't she?" He whispered, applauding as she finished.<br/>
