Some time after Ender had left, Ben, Christmas gift in hand, knocked on Karla's door.

"Karla?"

momslilassassin December 22 2009, 23:01:30 UTC

Don't ask, Ben.

"These aren't for fingers, then?"

glacial_witch December 22 2009, 23:17:04 UTC

Oh, Ben. You asked.

"Of course not, silly," Karla replied as if this were the most obvious thing in the world. "There's a reason females don't wear Rings of Honor. We may be a ballsy lot, but not that much."

momslilassassin December 22 2009, 23:22:59 UTC

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Seriously?"

Well that was nicely diplomatic, Ben.

glacial_witch December 22 2009, 23:31:42 UTC

"Of course," Karla said, a bit surprised. "Why would I make that up? And I know I've told you about Rings of Honor before."

True, but you left out a pertinent detail or two in those earlier conversations.

momslilassassin December 23 2009, 03:26:24 UTC

"You didn't say where they were worn," Ben squeaked.

glacial_witch December 23 2009, 09:00:14 UTC

"Why does it matter?" Karla asked, trying not to grin. Ben's voice was approaching the same pitch as bats. "Besides, it's another symbol."

momslilassassin December 23 2009, 13:36:58 UTC

"How would someone even see that symbol?"

glacial_witch December 23 2009, 22:48:18 UTC

"Well, I can easily think of one reason someone would be able to see it," Karla said with a little smirk. "No vows of chastity are sworn when the contract is signed."

Then her smirk turned more into a genuine smile. "It's a symbol between the Queen and her males--a symbol of absolute trust. He is completely vulnerable to her, at least for the duration of his contract. Which means a Queen has to think long and hard about whether she is going to be worthy of that trust he is offering her."

momslilassassin December 23 2009, 23:40:00 UTC

"It's quite a symbol," Ben stammered.

glacial_witch December 24 2009, 01:28:16 UTC

"Very potent," Karla assured him, pun most definitely intended. "But...looking at them, it makes it feel more real, somehow. In as little as a year and a half, I could be setting up a Court."

momslilassassin December 24 2009, 03:54:26 UTC

"Do you, um, put them on personally?"

Oh, Ben.

glacial_witch December 24 2009, 05:45:46 UTC

"Darkness, no! Ben, what are you thinking of? I'm pretty sure that I can trust whoever I invite into my Court to be capable of putting on their own Ring!"

momslilassassin December 24 2009, 05:54:07 UTC

Ben flailed. "I wasn't sure if there was a ceremony!"

glacial_witch December 24 2009, 06:00:33 UTC

"Of course there's a ceremony! But it isn't an orgy or anything!"

Though, in all honesty, Karla didn't really know how these ceremonies went or if the Rings were put on right then. Surely someone would have said something, if that were the case.

Right?

momslilassassin December 24 2009, 17:03:46 UTC

More flailing. "Orgy?"
