 * HitomiHyuga Continue to listen to previous song.

Slowly the heavy lids slid open to reveal the emerald hues of the young woman. Blinking a few moments, she’d just about not wanted to get out of the bed that she had been placed in. Stretching, she took a deep breath in and quickly was forced into a coughing fit from the anesthesia that she had unknowingly been placed on. She curled over onto her side and coughed all the more into the blanket that she had been under. With each breath that caused more coughing to come, she could feel her diaphragm tightening and hurt along with her sides. How much coughing had she done and what had caused her to take on such a fit? She didn’t come down with a cold from the extreme temperature decrease in the arena. Had she?

It was then that her eyes flung open and she looked about her. Her eyes looked about the room that she had been placed in and sighed a moment. Her head fell into her hands as she wiped them over her now bare skin noticing that her piercings had been taken out. “... what the hell did they do with them?? One of them were a gift from my baby sister…” She said to no one as she only stood very carefully and walked over to the mirror. She’d examine over her body and see the bruises that darkened over the skin on her arms, legs and along her torso. They showed up like angry marks on her light tanned skin. “Oh doesn’t this just look wonderful.” She said almost sarcastically as she sighed and placed the night dress down once more and walked over to the window.

She’d push the small port hole window open and take a deep breath of the sea air to help clear her head. While looking to the sea, she’d hear the shouts of the men that were on deck doing their daily duties and the bustle of the ship itself. “A pirate on a Marine ship… and not even in a cell.. What are the odds of that happening…” She chuckled to herself a bit before she looked out further to the blue vastness that now surrounded her outside the walls of the ship. “...I’m sorry mom..” Hoping that somewhere on this sea, she was safe.

 Turning from the window, she walked back over to her bed and noticed the letter that had been left there for her with the bell. Her emerald hues looked over the script as her head tilted slightly. This was not exactly something that was expected for a captive. Get her ready for what? She’d look to the scroll of his name and press her lips slightly together feeling a bit odd without the piercing in there now. “.. Stratos huh…” With her attention still on the paper, she had reached for the bell and looked over it a moment. “Well, let’s get this done with. Though I am sure I can dress myself…” Giving the bell a slight shake, she’d hear it chime and wondered if it would actually summon anyone to her. With both letter and bell in hand, she’d wait and see. 01:39, June 9, 2016
 * LodestarComics -Lonpo would be waiting in another room, just waiting for the bell to ring. He was fairly new to the job of being a Marine, but he knew he couldn't let Stratos down. He sat there patiently waiting for the opportunity to get up. He had remembered leaving his family behind to pursue a life within the marines. He wanted to work his way up to a higher position, but at the moment, he was at the bottom and wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. He stretched his arms and just continued to wait. He took off his hat and scratched his head while looking out the port hole. "The sea looks mighty fine today, nice enough for a swim."

After a few minutes he had finally heard the ring of a bell. "Finally, took longer than I thought." Lonpo said while putting his hat back on. He picked up the white frilly silk dress along with the nice silver diamond studded flats and a few rings and a pair of small ear rings. He slowly walked to her room and once he got to the door, he barged in without knocking. Lonpo forgot his manners at the moment and tried to be kind. "You're supposed to put these on ma'am and meet stratos in his office. He placed the clothes on her bed and walked out closing the door behind him.

After Lonpo had closed the door, he stood there and looked around. He wanted to get her to Stratos's office as soon as he could, but he'd have to wait for her to finish getting dressed up. One thing kept on crossing his mind. "What would stratos want with that woman?" It made Lonpo a bit curious. "Maybe she's important to some plan of his?" He wasn't entirely positive. While waiting, indecent thoughts started to circle his head. "I know I shouldn't do this." He thought. "but, I haven't seen a woman in a while." He started to smile and slowly opened the door. So he could peek her undressing. "This is going to be good." He thought while smirking, he knew what the consequences would be for peeking, but one tiny peek wouldn't hurt. Or so he thought- Edited by LodestarComics 02:33, June 9, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga Seeing the man just barge into her room, Morgan looked up with a bit of a start and the look of surprise crossed her face. She saw the dress that she was to put on and the accents that went along with it. What on earth did this Stratos character have in mind for her? This was a bit much for just a captive. Room. Nice clothes. Really nice clothes. She was clean and from what she had seen, well taken care of. Her emerald hues looked to the man and she gave a small smile and a nod of her head with the instructions that were given to her. “Thank you.” She said quietly as she then watched the man leave the room. Sighing, she looked to the satin dress and the rest of the pieces that went along with it. “Spare no expense I guess…” She said to herself as she laid out everything for her to get dressed with.

As she walked over to the table and picked up the brush to brush out her long blonde hair, she had come to notice her door moving ever so slightly. Without making it look like she noticed it, she just continued to take all the knots from her hair before she walked over to her bed once more. So the gent wanted a bit of a peep show. Her emerald eyes sparkled with amusement. “So be it..” She whispered to herself.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Taking hold of the straps that held up her sleeping gown, she pulled them down over her shoulders and moved her arms just enough to allow the light fabric to flow down the curves of her hips and waist only to pool lightly at her feet leaving only a light pink pair of panties to accent the curves of her hips and rear. Stepping from the gown that was now bunched on to the floor, she’d make sure to keep her legs together as she bent over and reached for the garment with slow and fluid movements giving the peeping tom of a Marine a full view of her round rear end and very shapely legs. If it weren’t for the bruising on her skin, they would be flawless to look at. Just as slowly as she had leaned over, she stood back up making sure to move every muscle in her back as she rounded upwards and stepped towards the bed once more. Next she would take her shoes and place them on and with the slight heel to them, it would cause her calves to only become more shapely and defined. Just to prolong her time a bit, she walked around the room a moment or two making it look like she was getting used to the heels when in actuality, she was going to give this man enough to make sure that whatever punishment he got was worth it. He would see her from the side as her hips swayed from side to side. An over exaggerated walk in her opinion but guys liked it for some reason. Now came the satin dress. Sliding it down over her head, it fit her snuggly as she pulled it down over her voluptuous form. Her hands smoothing the fabric over her hips, rear, sides and making sure that her bust was properly fit into the dress. The slit in it came up to just about her hip with no sleeves to it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She walked over to the mirror and placed her jewelry on as she looked to the attire. This Stratos had very nice taste in women’s clothing. She’d give him that. But just why did he wish her to look like this for just a talk in his office? It still confused her. Fixing her hair and looking over herself once more, she gave a slight nod before she would then walk over to the door and open it. She continued to pretend that she hadn’t noticed him watching her. There was a proper time and place for things like that to be spoken about. But she had somewhere to be. Looking to him, she nodded a bit. “I’m ready for my meeting with Stratos.” 03:27, June 9, 2016

-Lonpo continued to peek into the room watching as the woman undressed. He was excited, he hadn't seen a woman's body and he was finally getting the chance. The blood started to rush and the smile on his face got wider and wider. He had felt a rush, one like he had never felt before. He wasn't sure if it was due to peeking without "being noticed" or seeing a woman naked for the first time. "I can't believe this is really happening." He took off his hat and wiped the sweat off of his forehead, then placing his hat back on. "Boy this is getting a bit hot." He loosened his blue neckerchief and pulled himself up while continuing to wipe the sweat. "That was interesting." He thought as he continued to smile.

He stood up for a few seconds until temptation struck again. "I have to get another peek." he thought. "When did I become such a pervert?" He thought while peeking ion once more. Her skin was almost flawless, making Lonpo's sergeant stand at attention. "Stratos-sama, you better take advantage!" he thought. "Rarely do you meet women on sea." While she walked, swaying her hips from side to side. He just stood up and assumed that she was almost done since her dress was on. "There goes my peep show." He said to himself. Nothing last forever, but he had made the most of it. He stood there patiently waiting for her to walk out of the door. He knew that Stratos would be waiting in his office and his job was to bring her there.

He peeked into her room once more and saw her looking into the mirror. He was getting bored of sitting by the door, due to the fact that he had nothing to peek at, since she was fully clothed. The waiting game was taking effect, once he saw her walking to the door. He fell backwards and quickly picked himself up dusting his clothes off. Lonpo cleared his throat as she came out of the door. She had told him that she was ready for her meeting with Stratos. "You look nice in those clothings ma'am." He said with a smile. "Stratos-sama has great taste in clothing, you'll see that once you meet him." He would adjust his hat properly and tell her to follow him, taking her to Stratos's office

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Once they had arrived to the office, Lonpo forgot his manners once more and opened the door without knocking. Inside of the office he had a small circular table made with rare redwood and both chairs fairly comfortable made with a mixture of bear fur and leather with the ability to slightly lean back. "Stratos-sama, I forgot to knock forgive me for that." Lonpo said. "I brought the girl here." He moved away from the door allowing the woman to be able to step into the office. Once she had stepped in Lonpo would close the door behind her and head to the kitchen to get the surprise dinner for them. He felt that he had done a good job and hoped that Stratos had noticed his skills in getting the job done, just like he had asked Lonpo to.- 04:06, June 9, 2016

<p class="MsoNormal">|S| -While Stratos was sitting with his leg cross over the other and his eyes closed in thought the sound of the door abruptly opening would fully shift his attention and upon seeing the two guests he would slowly stand from his chair. Towering at 6 feet 6 inches the man surely wasn’t small in any sense of the word. Looking to Lonpo he’d fire him a smile and spoke slowly. “No worry my boy you did a good job.” Once the door closed and his mate for the evening entered a glow loomed over his face almost one of warmth and good intentions. “Well Mrs. Cinder you look very ravishing if I say so myself. Come join me at the table we have much to discuss.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Stratos would step forward and offer out his right hand for her to grab it. When she did so his almost overbearing grip but had a gentleness to it would make her follow him slowly towards the table once reaching it he would let go of her hand and whip himself around to the back of the opposing chair to his own and pull it out for her. “You may take this seat.” Then as she would sit down and fully set herself into the comfortable chair he would push her into it before slowly trailing back to his own seat but before completely sitting down he reached below the table having two small round cups and a cast iron tea kettle with some piping jasmine tea in it.

<p class="MsoNormal">Placing it in front of her he poured her cup half full then his own all the way to the brim. Now setting the kettle to the side he would finally take his seat, making a slight thump as he titled back abit and took a big sip of the piping hot tea with a long exasperated. “ahhhh” at the end of said sip washing down his throat.

<p class="MsoNormal">His onyx hues looking over to her own creating a stinging eye contact and he had no intention of ending it either. Now leaning his body more forward and placing his hands into one another on the table he began to speak.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“So tell me about yourself. I’m interested in knowing more about the ever charming beauty Morgan and how exactly she became what she became before entering upon my little here ship.” His fingers beginning to slow tap as he waited he kept to looking at her. Even though he was feared by men and even called a monster he seemed to have such class, sophistication and a high sense of manners behind him. Not to mention he was quite handsome and had the jaw line of a god like figure. But would his charm affect her or would this become much more interesting than he had already hoped for? - |S| Edited by Keruberosu 04:41, June 9, 2016

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Morgan had followed in behind the Marine and couldn't help but see the man that would be her company for the evening as he stood and looked to the two of them. Emerald hues looked over his form and she saw the look upon his face as he looked to her once the other man had left them. It caused a slight warmth to come to her cheeks which would be hard for her to hide. Her hands were clasped before her while her eyes stayed locked upon him. *So this is Stratos. The same man that claimed me on the island.* She thought to herself as he continued to speak to her. She couldn't help herself when he had complimented her. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she finally spoke. "Thank you and it's Ms. Cinder. I'm far from married." She said as she watched him move towards her. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her eyes were wide as Morgan watched the movements of the man that stood clearly a foot over her and was quite dark in features compared to her light ones. While her eyes remained upon his face, she moved her hand up to lightly place it in his hand only to have her hand seem like it was swallowed by his while he guided her to the table. This truly confused her. She was a pirate. Didn't Marines hate them? With him pulling the chair out for her, she couldn't help but continue to watch his movements. But the way she was being treated was very nice. She had to give it to the man. "Thank you," she said as she took her seat. Morgan looked to the table a moment as she tried to place the pieces together. She had watched this man just destroy the Dragonfly Pirates the other day and knock down the giant that had been with her. What made her so different from them? <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Looking up once more, she met the Onyx hues of the male as he poured her some tea and only waited until he had taken a sip before she had. She could only hope that she wasn't going to end up drugged again. But then again, there really wasn't much that she could do if that was his intent. She was now on his ship and had no idea where she was. The best she could do was just see what intentions that this man had for her. So far, the only things that was done against her will were being taken and the removal of her piercings. Closing her eyes, she took a sip from the tea and took a deep breath of the scent that came from it. Not only did the scent help to calm the individual but also soothe the spirit. It was a welcomed thing as she took another sip before opening her eyes and placing the cup back on the table with her hands in her lap once more. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her eyes looked up and met those of the male's once more as she felt a bit more relaxed. Though it was still the most puzzling position that she was placed in at the moment, she didn't see the immediate harm if there was going to be some. She was unarmed and he would have known that she would not be able to fight back against him at the moment. If at all for that matter. However, despite all that she could write down on the cons side of the page, she was still something about him that almost made her want to just sit in his company. Nothing more. This was something that also puzzled her. But her thoughts were pulled back to the moment once more when he spoke to her. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Thinking for a moment, Morgan pressed her lips together and played a bit at the area that had held her lip ring before it was taken. "Well, there's really not much to tell. I'm the third oldest child out of seven of us who were placed in a home with a man that we all claimed to be our father since he raised us and all. But it was a very difficult childhood and life with hardly any money to support us and only our Da there to make the potato soup stretch as far as it could go. My Mum came home once in a while to either visit and pay off our debts or drop off our newest sibling. Other then that, we really didn't see her. We were forced to get small jobs to help bring in money and were taught how to repair just about anything by our Da." She looked from Stratos to the cup of tea with a soft smile now coming to her face that was genuine and warm causing her to look almost angelic. "He was a good man, he was. Taken from this world all too soon." She'd take the cup of tea and sip from it as if trying to keep from letting more emotion leave her already. Placing it on the table once more, she continued. "Five years ago, I was 14 when the raiders came to the village and created havoc, bringing death and destruction. That's when we lost him. I watched him die from his injuries. So I began studying medicine in hopes that one day I could be one hell of a doctor on a pirate ship. Hopefully  meeting up with her on the sea and showing her the young woman I've grown up to be. That is how I came to be at the Pirate Games. Arrested for petty theft and thrown there only for you to have literally swept me off my feet and brought me here." <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her eyes continuing to stay on his as she then tilted her head a bit. "And what of my host? Is there anything that you'd wish to tell me about yourself other than you being a Marine and a chaser of half naked women?" She said with a slight smile on her lips as she once more took the tea and sipped from it while continuing to keep eye contact with him. 05:52, June 9, 2016

<p class="MsoNormal">|S|-Stratos would take note of all her mannerisms and facial expressions he couldn’t help but grow a grin and laugh to himself some ending it with a sharp exhale from between his lips. Though once she began to talk more seriously he would simply look at her as she went on. Taking in mental notes of what she was saying to him and also listening thoroughly before finally coming up with any sort of response. Surprised that she was so young to say the least but it made sense in the hindsight of it all because her skin was very soft and without the random metal it gave her such an innocent glow. But once she completely finished he let silence loom into the room for about 2 minutes or so before finally reaching up to grab his tea cup and take down the rest of it before placing it down and beginning to talk.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh how tragedy strikes against the people that never truly deserve it. I know all to well how you feel believe me. I can tell just by how you’ve been acting that.” Stopping himself mid-sentence he would grab the tea kettle and pour himself some more along with giving her some as well. “Now where was I, ah yes. Acting like you’re confused by me, almost in some sort of dis-belief that I can be so cordial with a quote on quote pirate. But I’ve seen pirates and pirates don’t conduct themselves nor have the same reasons to be on the Sea like you do.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Leaning back into his chair he would chuckle somewhat to himself as he began to rock it a little as he continued. “Often times we find ourself powerless but in the search of power we can become powerful but within becoming powerful we forget that power is what once made us powerless so is power really ALL powerful? A question to each is own but in my case I only care for enough power to complete my goal. As for what it is you may never know nor will I tell you. My name is Stratos as you already known 3rd of my name 36 years of age. But yes if I had to admit anything I noticed first was your breasts so impulse salted the preverbal snail in that moment but even any rat can taste the difference in cheese after having a taste of so many different kinds no?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Leaning back forward he would poster himself upwards and sit up straight before pulling out a small piece of paper and a pen to go with it. Sliding it slowly over to Morgan he would then speak. “Write in a single sentence how I make you feel. Be honest I will be able to tell if you’re lying or not. Once you do this, feel free to ask more questions.”  He leaned back once again taking his tea cup in hand as he began to drink it down. Just waiting now. - |S| Edited by Keruberosu 11:21, June 9, 2016 19:54, June 9, 2016

Anticipation? Perhaps. Anxiousness? More than likely. Fear? Of Stratos? No. Of what was to come for her? A bit. Then again, everyone had fear of the unknown for what was going to come for them in their lives in one way or another. She was almost expecting him to laugh at her for her full life's story, thinking that in some way it was just a way for her to get comfortable with him then only to have him shoot her down and belittle her. But when his words were more understanding than she could have possibly imagine, it caused her to smile a bit and look to the cup that he was now refilling for her. "Thank you," she said softly before taking up the cup once more and sipping from it while she then listened to him. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She studied the way he spoke, his movements, the tone to his voice. She'd take in everything that she possibly could about him in this small talk that was being shared between them and when he had spoken of her confusion, she gave a slight nod in agreement and continued to look to him. But as he continued she smiled a bit seeing the almost child like way of him rocking in his chair. It was the small things that she would pick up and look at. The chuckle when he thought to himself then continued on. Leaning forward against the table, she crossed her arms one over the other in front of her chest before bringing one up and resting her chin on the palm of her hand while she listened to him intently. He was indeed much older than she was. However, there was not much more that he had told her of himself. What a pitty. But hearing that the reason he grabbed her was because of her breasts, that only made her laugh softly with a shake of her head before taking up her cup once more and sipping from it. "So I was an impulse. I have been many things so far in my life, but an impulse has never been one of them. I guess there's a first time for everything." She said as once again, she laughed softly looking to him. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Noticing him move forward towards her and sliding the paper towards her, she looked from it to him as he spoke. How interesting. He wished her personal thoughts and background, yet would hardly tell her anything of himself. Hardly the trade off, if anyone thought about it. However, she took the pen and paper and thought about it a moment. Then sitting back, she looked to him as she thought. She had truly just met him. How was he supposed to make her feel? Taking only a few moments more as she watched him drink his tea, she then leaned forward and began to write. 'You make me feel confused, bewildered, appreciated with the time taken for my attire and the accommodations made for me than as I look at you, intrigued and wishing to know more.' Her script handwriting the only thing on the piece of paper, she slid both it and the pen back to him and sat now with her tea in hand while she sipped it and thought more of what to ask him. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Having come to find out that it was her breasts that got her into this mess, she was really not sure what else there was to it. Perhaps the most obvious of questions was what he wished from her. However, the answer she wasn't sure if she was ready for it or even if it was the one that she was thinking about. Placing her cup back down, she looked up to him and spoke soft and smoothly. "Well, perhaps the most pressing question would be what are your intentions for me? Forgive my bluntness but I doubt that your soul intention is to dress me in finery and have me enjoy tea with you, though it is very nice." She said with a soft smile.
 * LodestarComics <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">-Lonpo had did a good job, bringing the woman to Stratos's office just as he had asked. He walked slowly towards the kitchen, but was still wondering what Stratos had in mind for the woman. He didn't know Stratos that well, so he wasn't quite sure what was running through his mind. "Maybe she knows something important, or maybe he wishes to do lewd things with her." He scratched his head and just decided it's best that he didn't know. With that in mind he had to go back to the kitchen and finish adding the last touches on the dinner.  He had made a special dinner and was in charge of making sure, it was edible and rich in flavor.

Lonpo had prepared a  Balsamic-Glazed Filet Mignon, along with mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side. He was very skilled in cooking, his mother taught him everything he needed to know in order to become a good cook. He poured gravy on the mash potatoes, which would help give it more taste. Lonpo was very proud of himself for cooking up, what he thought to be, a fantastic dinner. The food looked beautiful, which made him a bit hungry himself. He made sure the food temperature was right, before he served it. Knowing when your food was at the perfect tempertaure was part of being a good chef.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Once Lonpo was sure everything was ready, he put on his chef hat and apron and made sure the dessert was prepared as well, if they would have wanted some. He had left the dessert as a surprise, not wanting to let them know what it was. Lonpo had looked at the sky and decided it was time to bring in the dinner. He placed the plates on a cart and covered them, while pushing the cart at a slow pace. He was very proud and had been doing a good job with the dinner preperations. He had hoped that they ate everything on the plate. Lonpo hated to see food go to waste, growing up in a poor lifestyle. Once he arrived at the office door, he remembered to knock, until he was allowed in. Once he was inside, he would bring the cart close to the dinner table and place a plate down in front of the woman and another plate in front of Stratos. He also placed a bell on the table. "I also prepared dessert as well, if you would like some, feel free to ring the bell and I'll bring the dessert here. He bowed his head down and walked out of the room, heading back to the kitchen- 23:41, June 9, 2016

 * S|-Listening to her responses he only laughed slightly and replied to the first one. “Yes you were, even though I’m called and considered many things at the end of the day I’m still a simple man with simple pleasures just like you are a woman.”

He would wait for her to finish writing on the small slip of paper his eyes on her the entire time waiting patiently and once she had finally finished and pushed it back to him he would read it over it quickly. She didn’t write much but you can tell legitimate thought was put into the answer either way and that’s what he was looking for. Noticing the placing down of the cup and her looking up he could already sense a question or remark coming from her body language and he was correct. “My intentions for you? MY intentions for you? That is actually quite the good question.”

Knock knock knock was heard on the door of the office. “Come on in Lonpo you have free reign.” Once Lonpo came in a piping hot dinner was ready to be served noticing the craftsmanship of the food and one of Stratos’s favorite food at that. Nothing like a good seasoned steak with some asparagus on the side and he was very familiar with Lonpo’s cooking already so even though keeping his regal appearance inside his mouth was a river rapid of saliva as he placed down the plate. “Thank you Lonpo and we will do, make yourself some food you earned it buddy good work.” Reaching for his knife and fork alike he began to cut into the steak and he then spoke a single line to the waiting Morgan. “

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Well you only have two choices, Work with me or serve under me. I’ll need an answer before you leave tonight but feel free to take your time. Enjoy the dinner I got made for us.” Finally stabbing a piece of the steak and placing it into his mouth he would grow a small smirk and his eyes glowed in anime style. “SUGOI” inside of his head this was said now silence loomed over the room he wondered how those two choices would mess with her mind.- |S| Edited by Keruberosu 01:42, June 10, 2016 03:01, June 10, 2016

The laughing. The smiles. The way he spoke simply and plainly. It held its own form of refinement and she felt it very becoming. Not something that she had expected from a Marine. Then again, she had grown up with the Marines being the enemy due to her mother. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Sitting across from him, she'd sit straight and properly noticing that if she didn't, the dress became a bit on the constricting side and she didn't wish to ruin something that would only be known to her as her first gift from anyone outside of her family. How funny that it had been this man before her that had given it to her. Yet her emerald hues continued to meet his gaze even as he spoke her question a few times. She felt calm while he pondered this question of hers though she had a feeling that he knew exactly what his intentions were for her, he just wasn't expecting her to ask and it perhaps caught him off guard a bit with her being so direct about it. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She heard the knock on the door and looked to see the other man come in. Finding out now that Lonpo was his name. She'd give him a soft smile as he brought in dinner for the two of them. Her eyes then looked to Stratos once more. Dinner? What more was this man going to do for her? Though she wasn't ungrateful but he didn't even know her. She began to feel as if he was trying to impress her but would keep that to herself. Nonetheless, she'd truly smile warmly to the two of them and bow her head to Lonpo. "Thank you. It looks wonderful." She said in a soft and warm tone. Waiting for him to leave, she'd pick up her fork and knife and begin to cut into her steak when she had heard Stratos's voice once more. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">With the choice given her, she looked up to him and studied over his face while he was eating. Though the enjoyment from the food didn't go unnoticed, there was one thing that had come to her mind immediately with the choice given to her. "With the given choices, I ask only one thing of you as a personal favor. I will choose one of the two but I ask that no matter which one I decide upon, you never ask, demand, command or force me to chase after, arrest or kill my mother. I need to find her and send her home. My younger siblings need her. Even if it means that I pay the bounty on her to whomever 'captures' her out of my own pocket. I know it is something that you may not be able to agree to but I have to at least ask." She'd take a bite of her food and close her eyes a moment as she enjoyed the taste that flooded her mouth. Alright. Perhaps she'd forgive the peep show from earlier and keep it a secret. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">While she continued to eat her meal, she thought about the two choices. To serve under him could have two meanings. One, she could be placed as a personal servant to him as in a maid or something of that sort or two, she'd serve as an underling in the Marines under his command. That was two thoughts that had come to her mind. While working with him could have meant many things. However, with both being given to her, she knew that she wasn't getting off the boat any time soon and judging by the way he gave her that one sentence, those were the only options she had. It wasn't like he was going to let her go. After taking another bite, she'd simply look to him as he enjoyed his own meal. As much as she thought about her choices, there was so little to go on with them. "Would you please elaborate on what each of my choices entail, Stratos?" Her gaze was one of though but not strained or panicked thought. A calm seemed to just radiate from her while she looked from her meal to him and back to her meal once more while she continued to enjoy the dinner that she had been treated to.
 * LodestarComics <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">-After Lonpo had taken his leave, he closed the door behind and slowly walked towards the kitchen. "The food looked great." Lonpo thought "I should definetly treat myself to this." Once he arrived at the kitchen, he made himself a plate to eat and started to chew slowly. He was still a bit curious in hearing the conversation between Stratos and the woman. He decided that he'd finish half of his plate before heading back to the office. He had worked up an appetite, making the food for Stratos and his company. His Balsamic-Glazed Filet Mignon was looking extra delicious and he couldn't help, but shed a tear after getting a taste of it. "Just like mother used to make." he thought. "Nothing like a great meal to satisfy my hunger."

He continued to carve into his steak and enjoyed the fresh, juicy bites. He wasn't one to brag, but he knew that his Balsamic-Glazed Filet Mignon was probably the best in the world. Cooked to perfection and dazzled with the right sauces and spices. He ate some asparagus and swallowed down some of his mashed potatoes, before stopping for a burp. He rubbed his stomach and just smiled. "What a wonderful meal." Lonpo said to himself. "I really outdid myself there." He still wasn't done eating, but he wanted to stretch a bit, before continuing to eat. He looked around and was still thinking about the conversation between Stratos and the woman. "I really want to know what's going on over there." He thought. "I'm a little too curious."

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> He picked up his plate and started to walk towards Stratos's office. He sat outside the door and started to chomp down on the food and just continued to listen. The conversation was somewhat faint outside of the door, but Lonpo did his best to try to make out the conversation.- 03:59, June 10, 2016 Listen & Read

<p class="MsoNormal">|S| -Stratos would continue to eat and once she began to talk again she would begin to ASK for something which immediately made him stop chewing and he looked up from his food over to her and promptly swallowed it before pausing all his hands movements. Once she finished speaking he immediately begin to speak. “ Just to keep in mind you don’t ask for me favors from this point on. Make sure not to forget that but I will keep it in mind if that puts you to ease.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Finishing his steak rather quick and then pushing forward to thrown down the mashpotatos and veggies all together in one pile and he quickly dispatched it until his plate of food was completely clear. Pushing his plate forward and dropping his utensils he would lean back into his chair and rest his arms on the arms of the chair itself while looking at her. Once she asked for more of an in-depth explanation on his choices he responded swiftly with a “Nope.” Still sitting there and awaiting her answer. “When your fate is on the line more time then not you don’t have time to be told and that split second of hesitation can determine where you end up before you can even do it yourself. So choose and choose wisely.” - |S| 04:17, June 10, 2016

The common sense that she had come to know for asking when given the option to do so seemed to no longer apply when it came to things with him. But at least she knew that he would keep her request in mind, though she wasn’t sure how far that was going to get her. Nodding, she she spoke softly while continuing to look to him. “Understood.”

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She’d continue to eat her meal while he quickly cleaned off his plate. It felt as if her questions had turned the evening into one that he just wanted done and over with now. He wanted her answer and that was all there was to it. It had become even more apparent when he spoke about making a decision that is one that decides her fate. Her eyes closed and taking a deep breath, she took one last bite before looking up at him. “I’ll work with you.” She spoke while not taking her gaze from him or sounding weak in her voice. Now it was a matter of what would come and what he had planned for her. 04:32, June 10, 2016
 * LodestarComics <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">-Lonpo was surprised at the conversation, seeing Stratos take charge was something he idolized about him. He continued to eat his dinner and peep in on the conversation. The fact that she had decided to work with Stratos was smart on her part. Lonpo knew she must have some brains, if Stratos kept her taken care of. He had finished eating his food and completely cleaned his plate while slowly getting up. He walked back towards the kitchen and placed his plate in the sink. While getting the dining cart ready.

While making sure his clothes were nice and presentable, he had placed the desert in the dining cart and added the few arrangements to it, making the dessert look extra delicious. He took the cart and slowly started to push it out of the kitchen, walking back over to Stratos's office. The dessert was mainly for a special occasion. Lonpo still couldn't get over the fact that she had decided to work with Stratos, but then again if she hadn't. The situation could have gotten nasty or so he thought. Well the negative didn't matter, she had made a smart decision and for that, Lonpo had already prepared a special dessert.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Once he had arrived back near the office. He had knocked on the door before entering. Once he was in, he would look to see if the dinner plates were empty, He took the plates and would put them away and then bring out the dessert. On each plate was a triple layer chocolate cake with broken pieces of chocolate sprinked on top. The cake looked very delicious and even Lonpo couldn't help, but want to lick his lips. He really was proud of himself for making quite a delicious dinner and soon to be a delicious dessert.- 05:09, June 10, 2016

 * S| -Listening to the final hard breath before the answer he just calmy sat and once she said it he would give a slow nod and reply to her. “Good choice, a lot will come with working with me. But if I had anything to say is that when you die you will have died for a good cause.  You will not only take care of me but you will take care of the jobs I layout for you. As long as you comply you will have a comfortable and fairly wealthy lifestyle.  Maybe even this experience will give you a real reason to be on the seas because I can see the lost eyes of another especially when I was there at one point myself.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Lonpo would begin to knock.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Come in my boy.” Once he did he removed their plates wither the food was completely finished or not and then placed a triple layered chocolate cake in front of Stratos. “How did you know this is my favorite type of desert? You must be pretty observant their boy. I’m impressed keep that up and it’ll take you far. Thank you, you are dismissed for the night.” Once he finishes speaking towards Lonpo he turned his attention back to Morgan as he began to take some bites of the cake after taking about 5 bites he would speak to her again. “So you can ask me two questions about what I’ve just said so make sure to think hard about it.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Now it was just a matter of time, Stratos had just acquired another proverbial chess to his board and he was quite pleased with doing so. - |S| Edited by Keruberosu 16:14, June 10, 2016 16:50, June 10, 2016 Listen & Read (Skip to 40 seconds.)

As his words rolled over his tongue, she could feel the silver forked tongue of a devil just about lick up the center of her spine while he laced her life now of servitude to this man with the benefit of a comfortable and possibly a wealthy life. Knowing now her background, that sort of thing would have seemed like a dream come true. But what sort of dream is that if the alternative would have been imprisonment or death? It was one that was perhaps the lesser of two evils. But either way she looked at it, she now belonged to him. The only thing that had caused her to look at him a bit differently was the small bit of his past that he let slip from his lips. He was like she was at one point. That would not go unnoted by the young woman. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hearing the knock, she'd look to Lonpo and smile as he came in. As he took the plates away and replaced them with the dessert that he had made, she spoke softly to him. "Dinner was wonderful. Thank you." Ensuring that he knew that she enjoyed the meal, she'd give him a warm and genuine smile before he was dismissed. Her eyes would look to the cake that was before her before she closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the scent that came off it. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed something like this. Her oldest brother was the cook in the family and when he created things, it was more beautiful than anything in the world. For the small amount of time while they enjoyed it, they were allowed to forget that they were poor and had virtually nothing. She'd open her eyes and smile warmly at the memory before taking a bite and enjoying the moment. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her eyes looked up to Stratos as she enjoyed the dessert and listened to what he had said. Giving a nod, she continued to enjoy her cake. "What you have spoken seems to be pretty straight forward. I am to take care of you and any tasks that you place before me to take care of. Doing so will result in a comfortable life while refusing to do so would result in punishment and consequences of your choosing or desire. Is my understanding correct, Stratos?" She'd look to him as she took a few more bites of her cake. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">After waiting to hear if she was correct, she'd continue with another question. "What am I allowed to do while not taking care of the tasks you have me doing and where am I allowed to go? I know these may sound like silly questions to ask, but I don't wish to be somewhere I'm not allowed to be by accident. 'I didn't know' is not an answer I'd like to come from my lips when I had the chance to ask."

 * S|-“Well it’s not as harsh as you plainly say it, if I’d punish everyone after a single mistake no one on this ship would be alive. Everyone has learned through mistakes one time or another so I expect the same for you. IT all depends on the severity of your mistake. As for your freedom you are free to go anywhere in the Grand Line but only 3 days at a time you can be gone. I have tweedy birds everywhere so make sure you keep legitimate company or i will as they say. Leave the idea of your family behind and act on my own fruition. It’s not a threat more of an insurance policy in case you think getting bold is an option.  Your probably thinking this is restricting you in some way freedom wise but I implore you to open your mind and really think and realize what’s in front of you. “

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">He would lean back forward his body slightly hovering over the table as he came face to face with her so close she could feel the air coming from his nostrils and he looked her dead in the eyes the warmth and all was lost in a hair trigger and a new challenger arose to make sure the line was completely clear between the two. “Know this Morgan, As easily as I can treat you with respect and be a nice guy like tonight. I could skin you and turn your bones into a guitar and send it to your family before wiping them off the face of this earth. Freedom is in the eye of the beholder and most pirates hold a false sense of it.” He’d slowly retract away and once again sit into his chair and now he’d return to the personality from before. “Well once you finish the desert you are free to leave unless you’d like to begin working.” Stratos would eat the rest of his own cake in 3 bites and he just stretched loosely into his chair and yawned slightly. He had the nickname as a chameleon for a reason how effortlessly he could switch himself up could almost be the scariest thing about him.- |S| Edited by Keruberosu 17:34, June 10, 2016

It was not unreasonable however he could have left the part about her family out of it. Checking in and doing as asked was not something that was out of the ordinary. She'd look back and forth from her plate to him and back again as he spoke. Nodding here and there in understanding while he gave her a solid piece of advice in his last statement. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">It was when he came within inches of her face that she stopped and met the cold stare that was in his eyes. Hers remained calm and serene as she met his and listened to his warning. "I never questioned what you could do. I only wanted to know what was expected of me." A soft smile crossing her lips as she looked to him with warmth. "That's all." When he had finished speaking, she finished up the last of her cake and looked out the window to the pink sky from the setting of the sun then back to him with a pleasant look on her face. "I'd like to perhaps start with my duties tomorrow. There's much I have to think about this evening. Though I was thinking about heading out on deck if you'd like to join me. The company would be greatly welcomed." She wasn't about to tell him that this was the first time she had been on a ship and truly wished to see the open ocean around her from all areas that she possibly could since there was no restriction placed on her. Though she knew he could do exactly what he said he could, it didn’t mean that she would fear him. Warnings were now in place as well as advice. But that was just another thing to add to what she had to keep in mind.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her emerald hues looked to him as she sat back in her chair and finally finished the last of her tea. Her mind drifted to the part about her having to take care of him. That was going to take some time to get right considering the fact that she could go various ways with that. If it was health wise and the like, that would be easily done. Company wise, they would just have to learn about one another. That’s if he would speak about things like that to her. If it was more than that, she was screwed. She’d never even had a boyfriend or guy she was interested in before. If things went that way, all she could do was hope that Stratos wouldn’t be harsh with her. As she awaited his answer, her expression stayed soft and warm towards him. Some sort of a connection would make the latter of the thoughts a bit easier to take. 18:21, June 10, 2016
 * Keruberosu <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">|S|-Noticing her having no fear towards him he could only smile she was playing into his hand at the end of the day that’s what he wanted. Make people much easier to take a hold of if they don’t fear you but respect you and the boundaries set. Like the theory of the starving dog over time it’ll bite and that bite could destroy all he has built.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“I’ll join you for a little bit, but for only a little bit I have to get some work done before turning in for the night.” Standing up from his chair he would hit a button from underneath the table and it absorbed itself back into the deck. Walking over to her he would offer out his arm to her and when she took it from there the two would walk out from his office and he made sure to lock it. Now walking a few yards to the edge of the navy battleship the nut sky would gleam over them and the good night breeze and the light reflecting off water was quite the pretty sight. “So, why did you ask me to come out here?” Saying so softly as most of the ship was asleep and it was fairly quiet at the moment. Now he simply awaited an answer.- |S| 18:59, June 10, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Morgan smiled as he agreed to join her. She'd look up to him as he offered out his arm and stand taking it. Even standing up with the heels on, she would come up to no higher then his chest. The white of her dress almost caused her to glow against the night sky. As soon as they had left his office, she closed her eyes and smiled taking a deep breath of the sea air. Her eyes looked out to the scene that was laid out before her as a bright and truly joy filled smile crossed her lips. Never before had she seen something that was this breathtaking in all her life.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> She heard the soft question that came from him, she looked from the open sea to him a moment. Her voice equally as quiet, she could only smile before turning back to the ocean. "Truth be told, it's my first time ever seeing the ocean like this. I wanted to share it with someone. Why not you?" The salty sea air caused her blonde strands to move across her face a bit while she continued to hold on to his arm. Perhaps it was just the idea of having someone around that made her a bit more comfortable. But in the same token, she knew where she stood with him and they did just spend a good few hours with each other. As her eyes continued to take on the scene that laid out before her, it was easy to see that this was perhaps going to be her favorite place to be. "What did you think when you first saw the ocean like this?" Her eyes glinted with the reflection of the night sky off the water while she waited to hear his response while trying to actually strike up a conversation with him before he had to retire for the night. 19:38, June 10, 2016

 * S|- He would only smirk when listening to her words she carried such an innocent vibe and it reminded him of the yesteryears of his life when things were so much simpler. “Well you do have a point there, two beautiful people viewing beautiful nature I guess at the end of the day it only makes sense we can share it together.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Some silence was accounted for but his eyes shifted from the open sky’s to the water and back to her quite frequently she was taking in all of the scenery almost like Stratos’s did that amazing steak from earlier. But that’s when a question popped off her lips and for a second he stood and thought. He was so used  to the ocean he had almost completely forgot how he really felt about it but he tried to answer the best he could. Sounding almost somewhat unsure of his own answer. “Fire and brimstone, that’s what the sea reminds me of.” After doing so he placed right hand into his pocket and just enjoyed the fresh air.- |S| 19:57, June 10, 2016 21:51, June 10, 2016

The sound of his voice as it left his lips caused her to smile as if she truly had caught him off guard and he was unsure of his own answer. "Fire and brimstone..." She said as she looked out over the sea. "A term usually used to describe the fate of the unfaithful and said to be the signs of God's wrath." She thought about his answer a bit more as she then gave a nod. "I can see how that could be so when it comes to how uncertain the sea can be from the stories that I've heard." Her voice remained soft as she spoke but then after, she simply stood with her arm still linked in his while she took it all in. There wasn't much more to say really. To think about it, perhaps anything more would have ruined the moment as it seemed to work out rather nicely. Her fingers played against his forearm absentmindedly while she pushed her hair from her face with her fingertips. Then she was reminded of a question. "Stratos? May I have my jewelry back? I won't wear them but they were gifts from my family."

If this is the result of being made in someone’s image then said person is more fucked up then all of us combined makes no sense.” Waiting just a sometime he would then release his arm from Morgan and in the same instance she would ask about her jewelry and as he began to walk away towards his quarters he would speak. “I already melted them down into something more useful like a sword or a hammer nothing I can do to save it now. Anyways have a good night but I’m turning in for the night.”

<p class="MsoNormal">If she wanted to stop him or do something her only chance was before he walked into his office.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">If she didn’t he would simply walk into his office treading quickly over to his desk were a grouping of papers were sitting stagnant and were half written through. Sitting down in his regal chair he picked up his quill and dipped it into the ink to his right 3 times before filling out the rest. It was a report that was supposed to be sent to the Navy HQ and eventually this information would be put into the world’s news for the next day. What he finished filling in read. “The pirate crew that escapes the scene was killed by Marines lead by CP9. Stratos was reported taking down Hjorrant and Locke of the Arrista family was confirmed killed. Arrista losing an heir to their family. As for the others just a few no names besides the female of the infamous Cinder pirates and Bellamy of the drake family. “ Stratos was forging this fake document and wrapped it into a personal mail envelope and placed it on the perch of his balcony only to watch a bird swooping to take it to HQ. So tomorrow at first light he was heading to East Blue and paying a visit to the Arrista family. - |S| 02:21, June 11, 2016

She knew that he had said that he would only be able to spend some time with her and it seemed that it was that time now. Hearing that her jewelry had been melted down, she let out a soft sigh and gave a nod. It was true. There was nothing that he could do about it now. However the fact that he melted it to begin with really irritated her but she would remain silent about it and show nothing against it. They were material possessions. Granted she didn't own much but the look from her little sister when she gave them to her, no one could melt down or take away. However, she couldn't deny the things that he did give her and for the enjoyed evening despite some things that were said. Over all, it had been a very pleasant night.

She walked from the side railing to where he had reached before getting to his office once more. Looking up to him, she smiled warm and genuinely. "Thank you for a lovely dinner and evening. For the clothes as well. I've never had anything this nice." With her hands at her sides, she'd take a few steps from him before looking to him with a pleasant smile. "Rest well and good night." She said softly as she would move towards the door that would lead her to her own room.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">After going down the wrong hall more than once, she'd finally find her own room. Getting changed into her nightgown, she'd place her shoes into the closet and notice that a selection of dresses had been placed in there for her along with shoes to match them. The man had truly started her off fresh and by the look of everything, it would fit her like the white one did this evening. With every thing that was said this evening, could she really be upset at certain things when he was already taking care of her? She had walked over to the dresser and opened the drawers to find other clothing for her to wear as well not excluding undergarments. She looked over to the vanity that she had placed her brush on earlier and found a trinket box with more jewelry to match the dresses in the closet. It became rather clear that he wished her to look nice for him. Running her brush once more through her hair, she'd then walk over to the bed and turn in for the night. The fact that tomorrow would truly start her new life, she was both scared and excited to see what the dawn would bring.
