Market of Athen

[Stratos]

After Stratos had answered his queen by his gentle tongue, he turned back looking at the slave girl he just had buyed. She was a quite girl, but hoped she would speak more in the time to come. Many who had wished to buy her earlier now came to late, although they kept watching her from the distance they stood. However not only were they watching her, but also the queen who stood talking with the man who just had buyed the slave. If Stratos was the follow the queen to the palace, then some would need to follow Charis home or she could follow instead. Gentle he watched her as he asked, wondering what she though was best for him to do."What would you like, follow me to the palace or be to my home by one of her guards?"He asked, cause he was kind to slaves.

[Daphne]

Daphne stayed quiet for the moment, letting Stratos and Charis, the slave he just bought a few minutes ago, make up their minds what they wished. She was in no hurry and waited for their decision what they wished to do.

In the meantime, Daphne opened one of the little bags with figs and held her nose closer to it. She took in the fabulous odour of the purple fruits before she took out one of them and took a little bite of it. "Brilliant taste." She said, to no one in particular, she just spoke her mind. She then turned back to Stratos. "So, what do you wish to eat? Our cook will prepare some pork, I hope you do not mind?" She asked.

[Charis]

Charis shuddered slightly at the mention of guards. She'd had bad experiances with them with her previouse master. But she didn't say anything, instead raised her eyes and looked at him with a peiceing gaze. "Whichever you would prefere master." She murmured submissivly, though glad for his kindness.

[Stratos]

Curiously Stratos listened to his new slave girl Charis, but as she answered he still had a decision to make. Slightly he nodded with a smile as he looked at her, but then again turned to speak with the queen."I`ll take her along to the palace, if you don't mind. And whatever food you have ready for eating, I will gladly accept." He said glad about the offer she made, cause interested he always had been in the queen and now finally he was able to spend time in her palace. Although his slave would be there, even he wished to be alone with Daphne. However as he were the lord of the girl, he always could change his mind later on.

"Shall we leave then, my lady. To your palace."He said asking, wondering what his queen would respond as interested he was to go with her and his slave to the palace of royals. In years he himself had been in love with her, but kept it secret though he many times wished to say how he felt even he sometimes dared not.

[Daphne]

(Shall we post at the palace then? and move on?)

"Yes, then let us leave. I am glad I can both you... both of you." Daphne said, and clapped in her hands, not too loud but so that her servants and guards would know that they know had to head back to the palace. Daphne sent one guard ahead to inform Alcander of their visitors before they arrived.
