He then leans down from his chair and gives a smack on her rump, not a hard one and more regular playful one on Alana, and says; "Alana, go fetch four large mugs from the back of the tent." Cain keeps details and reason for Alana's state a mystery, she has agreed on the terms and reality she's entering into but nothing permanent has not yet been made. But he made clear she must behave as a slave under his care for the process to work. The permanent thing happens once he initiates the binding process. Right now she is a freewoman acting as a slave than being a slave, but she needs after all 'to sell herself' to her potential owners to convince them she's good to purchase. A good enough purchase risk a dangerous and deadly threat.<br/><br/>Cain has done his thorough inspection, measured her good traits and bad, and gone thorough questioning, which included also elements which may have been embarrassing to reveal but make it very sure she fully consents and has full awareness of what awaits her as she's sold. Guild has flayed slave sellers for misconduct before both figuratively and literally depending on which region you come from and in Cain's case literally in his home country. Albeit ruthless he is not without sympathy and he is willing to do this process bit unusual manner to make it work, also he finds a potential gambit for nice side profit for him but it all depends do these adventurers accept the terms or not.<br/><br/>He eyes as Mephis entered, nodding to her as she is sort acquaintance through him talking regularly with her master (and they had shared fun in temporally swapping slaves one past night). She is quite a catch and he was tempted to buy her...but he knew her records, she had swapped masters fairly regularly and he smells something fishy is going on so he does not want to take risks with whatever is involved with her. Usually, slaves regularly changing masters is a bad omen in his eyes and thus her sale price has steadily gone down over the years. But she represents her master even if he's not here, so she can speak on his behalf. He will address her master specifically once he lays down what he is offering.
