Show Me Your Ways

She shifted her orchid gaze from Sirius to the young man beside him again as he was introduced as his Godson and she gave Artorias another dip of her head before looking back to the Warlord as he explained why he had called her here. Her eyes widened with surprise at the request, glancing at the blue-hued boy uncertainly. If he wasn't aware of slavery and the darker sides it held already perhaps it was for the best that he never learned, but she also knew she couldn't deny Sirius when he gave her what was essentially a command. She settled back onto her haunches across from them and while she tried to figure out how to even begin Sirius mentioned how he had once been a slave as well. The fact had been shocking to her the first time she heard it so she could only imagine how it was going to blow the mind of this boy that already looked incredibly confused and curious by the whole thing.

Once it seemed like there was no getting out of her explanation she began, her voice as soft and lilting as ever. "Well... Before the Warlord brought me here my experience as a slave was very different than what it is now. I was sold into slavery by a man that had stolen me from my parents. From a very young age I was primarily used for... physical pleasures and was constantly abused." That was putting it lightly and skipped over many details, but it painted a picture well enough. "I was bought and sold many times, but all my masters were pretty much the same. The slavers that owned me last had left me abandoned with some other slaves they didn't have the man power to contain when they moved their camp. I would have starved to death if the Warlord hadn't hadn't found me when he did. Now I have the honor of serving miss Zee as her handmaiden to repay him for that kindness." She smiled softly, giving Sirius a small glance. She truly was grateful to even be sitting here right now and caring for his wife and being her friend felt like a very small price to pay.
