"Ok, I get you. If that's what you would like then I guess it'd be fine with me." he said relieved, making sure to emphasise the 'if'.

[Kwadai]

"No. That would be too uncomfortable", he replied casually. "I doubt you'd enjoy it either".

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"Wouldn't I?" Elosqir asked with a grin. "Why does Alicia get to have her own extremely attractive boy in a collar." He powted and continued. "I should get one too."

"And you won't be wasting yourself either," Maria almost snapped. "I'm sure I'm far better than your hand. I find it's always more fun if you make it wait."

[Allied Connurist States]

"Okay", he agreed, as they waited patiently for mains.

[Kwadai]

"You have most of that. But you're not getting all of it", Mewan said dryly.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"You have most of that. But you're not getting all of it", Mewan said dryly.

"I've certainly got a sexy guy," Elosqir conceded. "Maybe the collar will just have to not happen. Either that or I could get tricky with you..."

[Kwadai]

"What do you mean by tricky?", Mewan inquired suspiciously.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"Tricky," was all Elosqir would give as explanation as they entered the cantine.

As the waitor placed their mains in front of them, Maria was filled with happiness. Rather than leading a group of boring rich exchange students around, she was sitting next to a very attractive guy who seemed to be submissive enough to do whatever she wanted.
"And obviously no other girls," she said as an afterthought. "Are you sure you want to hand control of your sexual life over to me?"

[Allied Connurist States]

"Obviously no other girls..." said Connor. "And I trust that no ill will come of it." he mentioned, before starting on the food.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"Gods..." Maria said, taking a bite.
"I really should learn that 'very hot' means mouth burning." She swallowed hurriedly.
"What's the first thing you're going to buy when you become a rich man?" she asked out of the blue.

[Valaran]

Jonas sat down on the bed, and put a comforting arm around Si, his firm hand not swaying. She was probably not used to this, he reminded himself, he needed to take this slowly with her.
"I'm absolutely fine. That man was a tester...and I don't think he was only after me. Anyway...it's you I'm concerned about, you've not even eaten."

She didn't pull his arm away, which was a good enough sign. But she still didn't look at him.

"I'm not hungry. And just because he was hunting others doesn't make you any less of a target." I'm afraid. "They could easily track you here. I do't think they'll send a tester this time."She sighed, exasperated. "How can I think about food at a time like this?"

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"I just want to take your mind off of things," Jonas sighed: he didn't think she'd be too happy with him for a considerable period of time.
"I just wonder why someone wants us all dead...it's a horrible thought, don't you think? I'm not going to leave you if that's what you're thinking...I'm officially still a slave until you free me tomorrow, if you're still doing that."

[Kwadai]

Mewan took a seat at one of the free tables in the canteen. "What do you feel like having to eat?", he asked Elosqir.

Mewan took a seat at one of the free tables in the canteen. "What do you feel like having to eat?", he asked Elosqir.

""Oh I'll just get a steak," he told Mewan, selecting his order. "And a bottle of lager. Gods...this range is better than most school cantines I know of."

[Valaran]

In her paranoia, she'd completely forgotten about Jonas' other problems. How thoughtless.

"I guess..... I mean of course. I promised to free you." Si felt ashamed. "You'd know why they're doing this more than I will."She paused. "Jonas, if you ever wanted to be safe, I could arrange a home in the Empire. You could bring you family too; it would be safe there."

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"Me and my family don't really get along," Jonas said, understating it in the extreme. "You see, my Dad was a pretty rich guy, until he started gambling.
Well, in our province, you can sell your children. Yes...true as anything. So I got sold to cover his gambling debts, can you believe that one? The only place I want to take that dick is the afterlife, and I hope it's not safe for him their."

[Valaran]

"I - I'm sorry to hear that. And any other family?"

You idiot. How could you think to be so careless, so utterly without tact? The voice crowed at her, gleeful in its mockery of Sierra.

[Allied Connurist States]

"That's why I order the mild stuff." said Connor, as he ate. "It's bloody delicious too. As for the first thing I'll buy... I haven't drawn up a plan. It could be a house, or it could be a chocolate bar. Nothing stands out as obvious... except I'll probably pay off the family mortgage." he theorised.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"It's probably better if I try and make a new life," Jonas mumbled..."the only issue is if those people catch me, or any of us, we'll be dead. And I'm not running away, so don't even suggest it again. Do you have any other ideas?"

"A charitable boy as well as a sexy one," Maria complimented. "Here," she got a forkful of her curry, "Try this stuff."

[Valaran]

"Going to the Valaran Empire isn't running away. And do you really value the crime rate, the plethora of assassins, the bilge of Celaria so much, that you'd rather stay here? Or in the Haven, with you father?"

He voice continued to verbally lacerate her, castigating Si for being so forceful on Jonas, but Si suddenly didn't care.

"It sounds like you don't want me to suggest it, but not for the right reasons."

[Greater vakolicci haven]

"It's...it's not that easy," Jonas' face took on a visibly pained expression.
"Si...I do have serious feelings for you, but I've known you for 2 days. I can't just leave my home like that, moving somewhere else...permanently...it sounds horrible. I can keep us safe, everything will be fine once that assassin gets questioned."

[Allied Connurist States]

"Okay, let me get a drink ready to down after I try that..." he started, expecting this to feel as if his mouth was alight. He took the fork confidently and put it in his mouth ; swallowing as quickly as he could and doing well to not curse or drop the fork. He didn't say anything as he drank but his face conveyed that it was a bit too hot for his liking.

"Struggling with that curry?" Maria asked cooly. "It's a little spicy, don't you think?"

[Allied Connurist States]

"Mhm." he replied, taking another drink, his mouth still red hot like an inferno.

[Valaran]

"I never said it you'd be staying with me over there." It came out harsher than she felt.Much harsher. "I meant you could have a new life - you said you wanted one yourself. How long do you really think you'll last here? Especially when I'm gone?"
