Don't Live By The Old Laws

Reila wouldn't have been offended if Erystotle didn't take a share of wine, she wouldn't force it on him or anyone. But she did somehow feel a little more relaxed when he did join her and take his own sip. She'd leave the bottle between the two of them any time she took a drink but wouldn't push him any further.

Reila nodded as Erystotle recited her own name. She half expected him to know, it seemed Chimera wanted this step for her but maybe for Erys too. He wouldn't be set in chains of his past but maybe this was how he could help others. Maybe Reila could see herself doing the same at some point. She wasn't an ordinary slave, she had known the joys and wonders of sexual encounters. They were just never under her own will. She had to make a narrative of herself, she was an actress. She experienced both the good and bad, great and terrible. And the masters hadn't treated her so poorly other than her training. In a way she was very fortunate in her prior life, but the job did have it's own difficulties.

Her own gentle smile was still there as Erystotle had spoke about his life here and his life before. Her eyes diverted just slightly from the somber subject, but she wasn't much of a downer. Not in the presence of others at least. "Me too." She reassured him reaching out her paw slightly to place it beside his. Though it didn't seem such a unique circumstance here on the island. Some of Chimera's queens had been slaves, his own actually, and it seemed the island hand a knack for pulling in the damaged. Reila did feel the upside to living here though even if she didn't get out all that much to know others. She was exploring herself on her own, or more so with Chimera. Maybe a little here with Eyrstotle, but she couldn't help that edge that she felt.

She glanced towards him for a few seconds before a quiet sigh, "I guess we know why we're both here." It was a way to break the ice she supposed. It was blunt without being so much. Reila was rather straight forward as she had been with Chimera, but she was realizing just how comfortable she was with him rather than Erystotle. She was getting comfortable with Erys too because of how gentle and friendly he seemed to be, but she knew it wasn't the same. She didn't want the two of them to work like it was some kind of duty, she was sure he didn't either.
