Summary: Something unplanned happened that has a young Elf facing a situation he barely managed to escape from 1000 years ago...
00- 01- 02- 03- 04- 05
The next morning Arin was woken by someone's breath on his neck. He blinked sluggishly since he had slept especially well that night. Slowly he turned to the cause of the breath on his neck. Or better, he tried to turn. Strong arms held him and took away his freedom to move. His gaze, now clear and awake, moved down and was met by a pair of familiar hands around his chest. Siran's hands. He recognized them by the scar on the right one and had to grin. Inwardly he cursed about the carelessness that got him into this position. He had given the scar to Siran. It had been his first night here. Siran had become pushy and when he had come to close Arin had simply bitten him. So lost in thought Arin took Siran's right hand and scouted it out with his fingers.
With this he woke Siran, though, who now pulled Arin out of his memories with movement and uneven breathing. Arin cursed and heard Siran's laugh a moment later. Even though the word 'laugh' was a bit off for an Alb. Siran's laugh was, like any Alb's, mocking, superior, smug...you could go on endlessly like that.
"So, Elf. Not even here for three days and already in my bed on your own free will?" he mocked, laughing again.
"I am only here because You ordered me, Sir," he answered calmly, causing Siran to laugh more.
"Last time you would have stayed in the bath and tried to escape if you had been in the same situation as yesterday. Then you would have come to the bedroom and continued to look for an escape here. You would have been close to panicking because I was merely watching you calmly from the bed and asking you to come closer. When you had lost some of your power you would lie down on the floor to rest some, but I would get you. I always had to chase you beforehand but I really enjoyed it"
"Yes, You have most likely enjoyed it, Sir. I rather didn't," Arin said bitterly. Laborishly he freed himself from Siran's embrace and went to the door. He was sure that it was open, but he had assumed wrong. It was locked and when Arin tried to open it nonetheless he was pushed to the floor by Albish magic.
Siran shook his head amused.
"The door is locked. It won't allow you to leave this room, the bath or the garden. You are allowed to move around these three rooms unhindered. All the walls, windows and doors, the floor and the ceiling are secured with influence. You can't escape so don't try to. For your own safety." he said and then stood. He went into the main-room to get their breakfast. There was nothing mixed into it, he knew that, but Arin still tested the food on a magical way.
When he did that he noticed that the influence also reduced his magical powers.
He didn't want to eat. He had thoroughly lost his appetite. Strangely Siran left him alone. After eating he just went into his study and left Arin to his thoughts. Said Elf sat around for 1 1/2 hours more in the bedroom before going out into the garden. The garden had only become more beautiful since his last visit.
Siran was watching all this from his study. Only 15 minutes later he had to extract himself for the transfixing sight. But an Elf in a garden really was an interesting thing. He had something more important to tend to, though.
Single-mindedly he went down into the kitchen. Everyone there was surprised to see their lord, since Siran rarely paid them a visit. When Jian saw him he turned back to his pots, paying them extra special attention. No one was paying attention to this, since Jian was new here. Then Siran began to speak and his voice easily rose over the sounds in the room.
"I am here because of a serious incident. One of you mixed something into Arin's dinner yesterday. I want to know who it was and why he did it. If no one confesses before lunch I'll have to punish all of you."
With that he left the room that was immediately filled with loud arguing. The chaos was rising until the cook made an end to it.
"Since no one is working here anyways! Out! All of you! I control what you got done until now! Those who need to tell something go to Siran!"
Everyone left the kitchen and stood around in the hallway. Only ten minutes later did someone dare to walk away to go to the toilet or just walk around some. Rin, too, left. But his way led directly to Siran.
Hesitantly he knocked. What he was doing here was obviously against the unwritten servant’s rules. Never give another away to the lord.
Siran had heard the knock and called the other inside. He was quite surprised when he saw Rin in the door. The boy bowed lowly but didn't know how to begin, so Siran took pity on him.
"What leads you here, Rin?"
"It's...It's because of the incident"
"Are you involved in it?" Siran asked calmly.
"Partly..."
"What does 'partly' mean?"
"My lord, You know that I am the dealer around here"
"Yes, I know"
"Well, yesterday...yesterday the new guy, I think his name is Jian, approached me and asked for an aphrodisiac. Jokingly I asked if he needed it for himself and he said 'Well, not really'. I think...I think...I think it was him", he explained, making Siran raise a questioning eyebrow.
"Those are rather hard accusations you are making here. Can you prove them?"
"Well...I could get You some of the stuff. Up until now only Jian has it. You can compare them. You have most likely checked it magically to find out what it was."
"Yes I did. Okay. Go get the stuff; I'll wait here"
Immediately Rin left the room, leaving Siran to think. So the half-breed was it...He should have thought about that already, but he'd knock such habits out of him. But for now it just mattered to prove his guilt.
Rin had meanwhile returned and brought the incontrovertible proof. Siran send Rin back into the kitchen, excusing him. He also sent a message saying that Rin should bring the food and collect the dishes after the meal. He also wanted to see Jian after the meal.
After the meal Rin and Jian went up to Siran's suite. Rin collected the dishes and Jian went to Siran. Said one noticed indignantly that Jian didn't bow, didn't even lower his head. Well, that would be knocked out of him, too.
When Rin saw his lord he swallowed hard. Siran was dressed in long pants and a plain shirt. He wore soft leather-boots and his hair was tied at his neck. That looked like the newbie was in deep shit, and the idiot didn't even bow. Out in the garden Rin could catch a glimpse of Arin. It looked like the other hadn't eaten since the food sat on the plate untouched. Rin took it away and left Jian alone with Siran. Back in the kitchen he immediately shared his observations. It was obvious that Jian was the culprit, after all the promised punishment to all of them had not come over them.
Siran sat in an armchair with his back to the window, looking Jian over calmly. Jian was standing in front of the other, wondering if he had done something wrong, before Siran asked.
"Why aren't you bowing when it's your lord in front of you?"
A blush rushed into Jian's face. How could he have forgotten this? Quickly he sank to his knees.
"I apologize for my inattentiveness, master. I am not quite used to my new life here"
"You should get used to it quickly, since I won't overlook such negligent behavior again. After all you didn't care to address me properly over the last days, either."
Jian flinched at these words but nonetheless dared to speak up.
"Master, why did You call for me?"
Siran smiled coldly when he looked down at the man kneeling in front of him.
"There have been some serious accusations made against you." he said.
"Accusations?"
"Yes. You have been accused of mixing an aphrodisiac into Arin's dinner", he explained.
Jian began to tremble and even though he tried to hide it Siran noticed it.
"How did You get such an idea, sir?" Jian asked insecurely. Siran's voice was biting when he answered.
"I have my sources. Is it right what they tell me?"
Jian didn't reply but just looked at the carpet with interest. But the silence was answer enough to Siran. His voice was bitter now.
"So it's right. And here I had hoped I could trust you. Like that you betray me. But I know how I'll punish you already. But before that, why did you do it?"
It took Jian a moment to reply but when he did speak his voice was firm.
"I wanted to make You happy, sir. But Arin didn't want that. He hates you bitterly. I wanted to help You, sir"
Siran shook his head in disbelief.
"Are you stupid, boy, if you think you could get my affection like that. My heart belongs to my stubborn Elf. I don't want it, at least not like that. If I would have wanted it I could have had him in the first night. I wouldn't have had to wait even that long. But I already did that the last time. Last time I was a fool. And you should know that it's a thin line between love and hate. After all I hate all Elves, beside Arin. But now to your punishment. Obviously you won't work in the kitchen any longer. You'll work at the stables. Maybe I'll also punish you differently, in the evening today. Even though that won't be a real punishment for you. It all depends on Arin's behavior. You can go now. But you are not allowed to enter these rooms or the kitchen."
Slowly Jian retreated to his chamber where he flung himself onto the bed and sobbed.
What had he caused now? Now Siran hated him even though he'd only wanted to make him happy. And what was that other punishment?
After thinking hard about it for about an hour he fell asleep and only woke in the evening again.
