ʆʉɳѦ Ҭɑӄɑʂђɨ Luna examined the bracelet once it was secured around her wrist. The idea of being taken scared her. She had grown quite fond of Marius. He was a wonderful master and had shown her more kindness than Luna ever expected to experience. She smoothed her dress down over her thighs. Luna let her hair down and then decided to put it in a high ponytail. She smiled a bit before standing near Rose and Gracelyn.

 She was easily walked around, Gracelyn was never the kind to raise a hand- though she kept hers firmly behind her back. Marius was always reasonable, as far as she'd seen- though she had expected sharper words. It was a quiet relief when his explanation came, but a small annoyance at it. In summary 'it's complicated' was what he told them. Отпустите меня... she bit her lip, shaking her head no to his question on abduction. She simply worried for the smaller servants, Rose and Luna in particular. She turned her bracelet over a few times, she didn't like it. She bowed slightly and left the room. Just because there is a physical connection, does not mean their is an emotional one. The twins tilted their heads to the side and accepted the tokens. Before leaving they planted a kiss on her hands and danced away. Going to where they had been before, the boys flopped down on the couch and snuggled up, admiring one another necklaces and bracelets.

 Rose Byrne Rose frowned when the phrase was said. She had heard phrases in other languages, but found herself always unable to duplicate them with her own vocal cords. She supposed some people just naturally had a knack, a talent that is, for such things, whereas she did not.
Rose watched as the other two girls left the room. "Um... Master.. I have never been able to speak other languages.... I can never seem to say the words right..." She stood there, looking down nervously, fidgeting with her cuff, just turning it around and around her thin little wrist.

Marius turned towards Rose and smiled.
"Fear not, little one. There are many other ways to deactivate the bracelets in cases of emergency, but you need not know any others. I still have a vast window of opportunity to deactivate them all if need be. Remember, you have to be more than one hundred yards away from me before anything bad truly would happen. And generally speaking, a lot can happen in that amount of space."
Marius ended the conversation with a wave of his hand and dismissed them all from his quarters. When gone, he opened his one bag and withdrew the checks form the slavers. He fanned them out and fingered the edges of each one, mentally spending his riches before he even deposited them.
Soon the dirigible came to a landing and Marius emerged from his chambers. He roused the gypsy Mirana and began to organize his houseguests into a departing line.

Rose Byrne Rose nodded softly at the dismissal and went out to the couch she had curled up on earlier. She once more curled up and fell asleep on the couch. She still had no love for the dirigible and preferred to sleep when traveling on it.
When the dirigible stopped, Rose woke up and stood, ready to go quickly, more than eager to get off the craft. She stood silently, waiting and twisting the cuff round and round her wrist.

As the boys had been on the couch when Rose arrived, they moved and sat on the floor instead. They were interested in being social at the moment, their attention only on one another. Sharing soft words, fleeting kisses and eventually falling asleep in one another's arms. Jaeger curled protectively around Jaegar, who buried his face against Jaeger's collarbone with legs intertwined. It was a big lovey dovey mess. Gracelyn stood the entire trip, she hated the feeling of being on the ship. Turning the bracelet, rubbing the stone and singing the song softly. She closed her eyes, breathing deep and keep her nerves calm as the tight knot in her stomach never seemed to lift. If approached, she smiled and remained as gentle as always- but most seemed to be more interested in sleeping. Once the ship had come to their destination, she was easy to encourage into the line. The twins were much more difficult, taking their time to tumble into life and prance into line. They stood on either side of Rose, cheerfully humming and yawning.

[[Gonna make things a little interesting if you all don't mind.]]
Marius repeated the bracelet instructions for all of his slaves and then stood by like a gentleman as Mirana was invited to exit the craft first. The air was thick and humid, but not hot. In fact, the atmosphere in the bazaar was overcast, and it almost looked as if it was about to rain. As if with unforseen and unimaginable speed, Mirana walked at a pace that could easily outrun a cheetah. She disappeared in the mass of crowds, no doubt returning home to her tent.
Marius smiled amusedly. Mirana was something else. He led his party to the banker and deposited his checks into his accounts. He also allowed his houseguests to exchange any trinkets they bought for coin and cash. When everyone had completed their transactions (if they so chose to exchange anything), Marius began to wander around the market to allow for everyone to shop and enjoy their day. Eventually though, Marius had some important people to talk to before the day was out.
While everyone was shopping and having a great time, Marius quietly stood in the background, watching as his houseguests truly enjoyed themselves. Anyone could go stir crazy in his home, himself included, so it was nice to get away. Perhaps another day, Marius would take them to a carnival. Mirana's family owned a travelling freak show, and perhaps he could sway them to set up at his home...after a rather long journey out into the desert.
Still, Marius bought a few things for himself, and food for everyone around lunch time. Marius met up with some other fellow slavers and friends, and even guests that had come to his home before. Many of those people stood with Marius for quite some time as well, simply watching the performers live normal lifestyles.
While the girls browsed over a table of fine silks, Marius' sixth sense kicked in. Something wasn't quite right. He did a headcount...all of his guests were in eyesight, so that wasn't it. He quickly took in his surroundings and found what the danger was. Several hundred yards away, and staring directly at Marius, was Gracelyn's father.
A low, threatening growl arose from Marius' throat and he felt his body tense in defense. His eyes narrowed, hair stood up on end, and visually dared the man to approach. The man didn't budge, but smiled and tipped his hat before he turned to leave. Marius watched the man until he could be seen no more, then started to calm down.
When settled enough, he turned to his party and said, "When you all finish over there, I have some business to take care of and you all need to accompany me. Please, make haste."

Rose Byrne Rose was fawning over some silk with little flowers and animals embroidered ever so carefully into it. It fascinated her to no end, and the fabric was soft. The whole day had left her in a good mood so far. She had been able to get a few pairs of soft shoes, some new clothes, and a small surprise for Cutie. He was so sweet and she wanted to give him something.
Rose looked up at Master Marius speaking. "I hope everything is all right..." she thought, a little worried. He did seem a little on edge. Rose then turned to the soft fabric again. As much as she loved it, she would have no actual use for it.

The boys flirted their way to better deals and lowered prices, keeping mostly to one another. They weren't feeling a sociable as normal, maybe it was because they'd told someone their secret. Both looked towards the master and smiled brightly, more business? They'd thought this was meant for fun. Oh well. They wrapped up their purchases and sided up with the girls. May as well stand with them for now. Gracelyn shook her head as Marius spoke, she was deep in thought on the fabrics and tokens. She'd bought very little, she didn't know what to do with wanting most of it. She didn't want any of it really. She mostly bought gits for little accents for the masters home. She watched Rose look at the fabric, when no one was looking, she would buy enough for a project. Something nice. She waited quietly for Luna.
