Abigail leaned in closer to him. She swayed to the music and smiled at him seductively. "So how has the night been?" Caoro watched the two from afar and she felt a pang of jealousy.

Guy looked at her with his blank face and looked away, as slaves were often beaten if they looked someone in the eyes.

"g-good, yours?"

[CallaLily180]

Abigail chuckled. "It has been fine." She lead him off the dance floor and into a corner, she pushed him up against the wall and looked around. "How do you know the royal family? She asked glancing threw the bar making sure no one watched.

Guy looked at her confused, he grabbed her hands from the inside and pushed outward getting his backmuscles and arms to force her grip off and stepped on her foot with his bare foot.

"don't be so ppushy, to be honest I just know caoro and she happened to be nice enough to allow me here" he smiled, though she had cut him from being in a good mood.

[CallaLily180]

Abigail gasped. "What do you know about princess Caoro!? She is the biggest mystery in the entire court right now!" Abigail was clearly impressed by his knowledge.
Caoro cut threw the crowd and looked at Guy from behind Abigail. "I'm sorry lets go." She mouthed pointing at the door.

Guy sighed, this was an sorry event, lost most of him money on booze and was attacked by a girl he was forced to dance with, slide his leg controling her left leg and made and exit that he spun into merging into the crowd meeting with caoro.

"she seems nice"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro pulled him into a hug. "Yeah sorry about that, lets head back to the castle." She took his hand once more and pulled him back to the castle.

Guy looked around, hoping no one saw the princess hug a slave, as they walked he blushed, seeing he held her hand.

"say she asked about you, just how distant are you from her"

[CallaLily180]

When they got to the castle Caoro led him to the east wing which was hers and took him to their rooms. "Are we parting ways?"

[manapool1]

Guy looked around, he didn't want to leave her but she had a man and she was a princess and he a slave he wasn't the one who made choices still the drink had given him the confidence he needed.

"may I stay with you?"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro nodded. "Of course you may." She smiled and opened the door to her bedroom. The room was huge and so was the bed, it was kind of baron since most seating was in her sitting room. All she had there was the couch, the bed, and a few tables.

[manapool1]

Guy looked around in awe,he had never seen such a large room, especially for one person, he felt ashamed for his old quarters at his farmer.

"nice place"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro smiled at him and took a seat on the bed. "Ah how I've missed you." She said touching the soft fabric.

[manapool1]

Guy stood near the wall looking around but seldom touching anything. He wasn't sure if it would be considered rude, and she was being nice enough to allow him into her room.

"just how long have you been gone"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro thought it over for a few seconds. "Five years give or take, do you want to sit down? I could have my house draw a bath for you." She wondered if Glinda still worked at the castle.

[manapool1]

Guy shook his head.

"Do I smell all that bad? sorry I had no clue"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro shook her head and giggled. "No they put rose petals around porcelain tubs, and candles, and a lot of other relaxing things. You seemed stressed you know." She got up and walked over to him, she took his hand and stared straight into his eyes. "I don't know though, do you?"

Guy tensed up and looked around he didn't like were this was going.

"I'm not stressed, I just act like this"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro watched his hand. "Thats not what your pulse says." She pulls him along to the washroom, it is just as big as the bedroom and the tub is large enough for two. "Stay here I will get some of my house to prepare your bath OK?" She leaves the room and three women come in, two men come in with buckets of warm water. They prepare the bath beautifully and pour in the soap last. They walk up to Guy and bow leaving the room. Caoro comes back in. "See isn't it nice? Now take it or leave, I haven't had a proper bath in some time."

[manapool1]

Guy looked at the water, it was something he rarely did, even when he wasn't a slave, he was to busy and he didn't like them they made him feel like he should be doing something, still he was sure he was filthy. He sighed as he took of his ragged shirt, the whip scars on his back showed and the cuts on his arms were plentiful he looked at her and smiled, showing the muscular chest.

"I guess I'll take one"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro smiled at him looking away from his scars. She left the room and waited outside the door. "Tell me when you are in the bath I need to talk to you." She was going to tell him about the ball and the stupid rules of court.
