Meggera Tepes Meggera froze, suprised. He wouldn't let them hurt her? She had the right mind to ask why but decided it was better to just zip it for now. She wondered why he had done that but why else would any guy do that... "So, do I meet them, or what? What happens?" she asked.
He took the moment to gently feel the soft curve of the girl's hips before hesitantly stepping away once more.

Meggera chose to ignore the fact that he had taken the chance to feel her hips for now...
"So in other words they decide whether I look acceptable?" She asked.

"For the most part, yes. All testimonials about your character and personality will be from me. I have at least a few days to evaluate you." He winked briefly. "Don't worry. I'll make your evaluation as flattering as possible."

So he was going to evalutate her? Hmmmm...maybe she could get out of this...but is it worth getting killed if they dont like her? Somehow she didn't think so...
"Oh, thats good to know..." she said, thinking it slightly sarcastically.

Karasu smiled softly beneath his mask and tilted his head to the side. The girl was difficult to understand, a rare oddity.
"Why don't you lay down and get some rest? You must have had a tiring day."

Tiring? Deffinately...Fist she gets kidnapped and thrown into a cage and just as quickly gets bought...tiring wasn't the correct word. Exhausted seemed a bit more accurate.
"Ok." she said, waiting for him to leave her room.
She heard to many tales about these kinds of things. She definately wasn't going to go to sleep while he was still in here...Not only would it be weird but she was sure she wouldn't be able to fall asleep while being watched...

His smile widened as she waited for him to leave. He had suspected that she wouldn't warm up to him in only one night, considering what she'd been through, but for some reason her mistrust was amusing. He gave a quick bow.
"Sleep well," he said, and left the room.

Meggera made her way over to the futon and laid down on it. She laid there awake for a while, despite her exhaustion, just staring around the room, thinking about everything that happened today...Man was her life weird...
She eventually drifted off to sleep.

Karasu's first stop was to the servant's hall downstairs. Being in the slave cages, where many of the bodies had been warm with the scent of blood, had made him hungry hours ago.
He laid a half-drained servant girl onto a nearby sofa after he had finished with her and ascended the stairs once more to his room. It was considerably larger than the rest of the rooms, but simply decorated. The only difference between his and the guest bedrooms was the wall-length Ukioe painting depicting several suggestive but eloquently painted scenes on one wall and the rack of elegant katanas on another. He put away the katana which had been strapped to his belt and pulled out another, setting it on the floor beside the bed. He crawled beneath the covers and fell into a troubled, nightmare-ridden sleep.

Meggera woke after a few hours of a restless sleep. She didn't feel completely rejuvinated but couldn't seem to fall back asleep so she sat up and gazed around curiously.
She got up and walked around the room a few times the slid the door open ever so slightly and peaked out. She wondered if she could leave the room. He hadn't said she couldnt...But then again she'd probably get herself lost like and idiot...
She pushed open the sliding door and stepped out into the hallway, looking both ways wondering if she should go exploring or not.

Karasu's eyes slowly opened. He felt himself tense at the sensation of a possible threat, but forced himself to take a deep breath. If it had been a true threat he would have already been standing, sword in hand. It was simply someone close enough to wake him.
He sat up on the futon and tilted his head to the side. Meggera's figure stood silhouetted through the rice paper walls from the light of the lanterns outside.
'Hmm? What is she doing awake so early?' He simply sat and watched.

Meggera paused for a moment then started to silently walk down the hall, looking around curiously. When she reached the end of the hallway she peaked around the corner, wondering if there'd be anything interesting there.

When the silhouette disappeared, Karasu rose from the bed and left the room, silently following behind her. He stopped a few feet away from where she stood, watching curiously to see what she would do.

Meggera didn't see anything to terribly tempting either way and wondered if there would be anything the other direction. She turned around and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw him standing there.
"U-Um...I was just...uh.."

Karasu smiled, almost kindly, as he stepped closer. "If you stutter like that, someone may suspect you're up to no good. Nothing worth punishment, I hope?" He crossed his arms over his chest and yawned. "Why are you up so early? Crazy woman."
