Kelski felt nothing but awkward. Darvin had a stupidly pleased expression on his face as he sat the women down a stool apart – because he was taking one up a moment – and then abandoned them briefly to go order some food plates for the two. Fresh ale was placed down in front of them and Kelski knew it was Jaren’s money, not the big guards, that was feeding them. To cover her confusion, she dug into her food, hungry to be eating good fish finally and not thin fish soup or crusts of bread. Darvin seemed to think it was okay to touch Thorne now, and he did so planting his hand on her shoulder even as the food was delivered. He’d long abandoned his stool and now stood there.
“Glad you thought so, Beautiful.” He said, ignoring her tone a moment to chuckle at her question. “You aren’t in Sun’s Birth so where we live we can’t take you back. Sorry hon… those are the gang rules. But I can drop this little bird off and swing you by your place if you want more of that. I’d be glad to oblige you.” He said, puffing his chest out a bit and thinking she was a damn good petch in an alley… she’d be better in a real bed. He gestured to Merv at her request and a second ale joined the first next to her food plate.
“Just think about it. I can’t have this pet out too terribly much longer because Jaren goes to bed or takes a woman to bed and I can’t be traipsing through his quarters to deliver Kelski home. She lives with him in his suite, in a spare room. Works out of that room too. She’s his personal jeweler.” He said again then reached over and stroked Kelski’s ombre hair in an unguarded moment of affection. He did the same to Thorne and then finished with… “You decide about our date before we leave… I have about a half a bell to let you ladies eat, finish my conversation with Merv, and then head home. I’m game for taking you home too… just let me know. As for free time, you can spend as much of it as you’d like with Kelski if she has the free time. I have no say over that… but as long as you keep out of trouble… or I won’t lie… I will take you back to Jaren, and he’ll have you branded.” He said, reiterating what he’d said earlier. A good piece of ass or not, she wasn’t going to endanger the slave or his position with The Sun Birth.
He then pressed a little packet of powder in her hands. “This goes up your nose, love. It will make you feel really good. I make it myself. Sometimes you’ll even see things. People love it. This one’s free but the next one is six gold. A little thank you if you decide you don’t want to take me home tonight. I won’t take it personal.” He said, chuckling, and moving away from the women while still keeping them in sight. He’d let them eat in peace and talk.
Kelski watched it all while stuffing down the fresh fried fish. It was delicious, better than she’d had in a long long time and she was well aware that Thorne’s actions had bought the meal. She sipped at the still too strong ale, and kept eating knowing for certain someone would take the fish away from her soon.
“Why did you do that with him? For the food?” She demanded under her breath, steel grey eyes wide and her face full of questions. She knew women coupled as a type of currency in Sunberth but she still didn’t understand it. Her tongue slipped out and licked her lips, its dark pigmentation so incredibly weird. Her whole mouth was like that. “Jaren wants to with me sometimes but he won’t… my body has coloring in places that isn’t right… its dark, not pink and red like the rest of you. He thinks it will turn his parts dark and they will fall off. The others tease him about it.” She said quietly, beneath her breath, as if it was a dark and dirty secret.
Kelski shoveled more food in. “Are you going to let him go home with you? He will do that to you all night. I’ve heard rumors from others. I’ve even seen him a time or two with other guards. It reminds me of animals.” Which was a bit amusing coming from a Kelvic.
