Ebony, gauzy blindfold now removed came over to Tialyn and took her by the arm.  She was squinting tightly in the bright sunlight, but she bowed her head to Master Sabin,<strong> "I'll see to your Guest master."</strong>He waved his hand dismissively, and the last Tialyn saw of Anara, the slave was sitting up amid the ruined chains of her slave outfit, her eyes slightly glazed over and her face wet and shiny.<br/><br/><strong>"Yes yes,"</strong>Master Sabin said even as Ebony led Tialyn out of the courtyard, seemingly quite quickly.<strong> "Take her away, I plan on showing Anara that her role in this home is not just as a trainer." </strong>But then Ebony was guiding Tialyn into the home.<br/><br/><strong>"Let us get you to the baths." </strong>She whispered and then looking around to make sure there were no ears listening she said excitedly,<strong> "Did I see true?  Did you call upon Ah'mie's blessings yourself?  Never would I have thought that she would have granted you her boon of strength so quickly and suddenly.  Whatever it is you said to her, it must have been a heartelt and honst plea, that or she really does have her divine gaze upon you." </strong>She led Tialyn to the bath and began drawing water for the paladin, who was now quite exhausted, even though she was still feeling the rush of excitement and arousal that had come with her victory over Anara.  The large marble tub looked large enough to fit four women Tialyn's size comfortably, and there seemed to be two pumps, one which filled the tub with warm water and another with cold.  No doubt in the desert environment it would be simple to have a cistern on the roof full of water that was heated by the sun and the desert heat.<br/><br/>She then moved to undress Tialyn and guide the paladin into the bath, disrobing of all but her collar, and then grabbing a large sponge, soaps, and oils.<strong>  "If you would like, I think that while your days training your body back into fighting shape, your nights and evenings could be trained to continue developing your connection to Ah'mie.  I think she has taken an interest in you, and she obviously has granted you her favor."</strong>She chuckled and added,<strong> "Though I hope you know our training will be just as difficult as the daily training, just in a different way.  We'll have to bring in some outside assistants.  Maybe Ruby, so I can watch and guide you, or if you'd prefer a male guardsman?  Maybe that iblith orc with the decent cock?"</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">If Tialyn agrees, I'd like to do a time skip ahead, jumping ahead a few days.  You'll be able to advance to paladin level 4, and gain a custom spell or two, but your alignment will shift one point on either the good/evil axis, or the law/chaos axis, and Tialyn will be either lawful neutral or neutral good.  Don't worry about the alignment restriction on paladins.<br/><br/>If Tialyn disagrees, I'd still like to time skip ahead, but your daily training continues, with the night times being Ebony trying to convince her to change her mind, but somewhat cool and distant until she does.  No level gain, no alignment change.</div></div>
