She nearly outed him right then and there when she spoke out of turn. He almost managed to turn this around. Now the slaver had half the answer to the puzzle and had made a quick and astute suggestion to punish her. Put on the spot now, Darius had no one to blame but himself in part. Maybe the scorpion venom had gotten to him worse than he thought.<strong>"Agreed."</strong>He said flatly with an edge of annoyance. It wasn't hard to be convincing because now he was legitimately annoyed. His eyes were shifting back to the slaver's offer of equipment. He's tempted.<strong>"True. I might break the skin with a stiff scabbard. And my usual methods of punishment wouldn't put the message firmly in place"</strong>He rubbed his chin and then his eyes light up with inspiration. His ropes once again had their uses.<strong>"Statue it is. An hours time should do the trick."</strong>Of course if the slaver had suggestions for purchases at this point, he might have a ready ear.<br/><br/>As for what he personally had in his head, the inspiration was in his minds eye. She would be placed in a kneeling position. Her calves tucked underneath her thighs and her calves tied in place. This made her unable to stand and she'd be made to hold this position. Her hands bound to the top of her thighs with the palms up. Her back was to be held up straight and to enforce this she'd be tethered to the tent pole at the hips, just under the bosom, and finally the collar would be tethered to the tent pole. Finally for extra measures, he'll blindfold her. Half tempted he was still thinking of gagging her so as to make sure she cannot speak out of turn during the punishment. Thus she'd be made immobile and resting on her legs like an erotic bronze statue. End result would be stiffness and a sore pair of legs but it would do the task of punishing her without marking or maiming her.
