<strong>Maschor's Private Alcove: Variani with Mashcor and Mira</strong><br/><br/>"Thank you Mira, very kind."<br/><br/>He takes the gag and examines it to make sure it's just the right one. A rough, slightly absorbant hide, packed with cloth that acts like a sponge. It will not only silence the slave, it will draw all the moisture out of her mouth and within a short time - this being a warm day - she'll have a gasping thirst. It's amazing how those basic needs break down someones resistance.<br/><br/>"I'm not going to gag her straight away. There may be a little noise, but it's meaningless. Ignore it."<br/><br/>He crouches down beside Variani's right arm, and begins to turn it so that the two delicate bones of the upper forarm - the radial bones - are within the metal clamp on the arm of the chair. Then he begins to tighten it.<br/><br/>"Now, I know Adonia doesn't want me to mark this one so I shall explain, Mira. This isn't about hurting her skin - the velvet lining in the 'teeth' of the clamp will ensure there is very little bruising - but the pressure applied to the bones causes quite unbelievable pain. Try it for yourself - put two fingers below your wrist, squeeze a little, and then wiggle it around until you find the right spot. Hurts, eh? Wrestlers use that one a lot, so do bar men when they have to remove someone without leaving marks. Of course, the human hand can only apply so much pressure on those bones. A vice..." he shakes his head.<br/><br/>Having reached a point where the girls wrist is held firmly, with some pain but not much, he proceeds to the left wrist and does the same, swinging the clamp over and beginning to close it on her small bones. No chance of wriggling free - her arms are going to stay exactly where he's put them.<br/><br/>Then he crouches in front of her, and begins tightening both clamps at once. He is very measured in how he applies pressure.<br/><br/>"See how the eyes fill up with tears? That shows you that the pain is starting to take hold. I don't want to make her scream - a child could do that with this chair - I want that moment just<em>before</em>she has to scream. That intake of breath, leading to thew shriek. Once I have that, we can pop the gag in."<br/><br/>He watches her chest and throat intensely. Not her eyes -<em>avoid looking your slave in the eye - only humans look each other in the eye </em>- and he keeps tightening the clamps.
