Knightly Duties (Sahal)

"It looks as good as new, sweetie! The cursed mark is gone," Siobhan said happily. In deference to the fact that Sahal was probably still feeling sore, she only gave her a very loose hug and kissed her. Lightheaded Sahal was kind of cute. "It'll itch a bit, but you'll be fine in a few days. Don't pick at it, my lovely little elf. I'm very proud of you."

Sahal cuddled up to Siobhan. “Mmm…have I ever told you Mistress that you…you’re the best Mistress? You’re really….”
What she was would not be known for a while as she’d dropped off again in Siobhan’s arms.

The Doctor frowned. “Qadiri physiology is a bit different to ours. I suspect I gave her a bit too much. Still, if you wanted I can have my nurse take her to your home and get her settled in. Just a small extra.”
She smiled. She wasn’t outright going for flattery, but she clearly appreciated the prospect of repeat business.

Naturally Siobhan enjoyed the fawning! "Oh, thank you, darling. You're my most darling pet," she gushed happily. Alas, whatever else Sahal had wanted to tell her was cut off by her falling asleep. The Countess patted her on the head like a favourite pet.


She glanced over to the cute doctor. "Thanks. I'd appreciate that a lot, doctor. You've done great work. I'll be sure to call upon your services in the future if I need them," she flashed the woman a smile. It was always best to be on good terms with doctors!

Once they were back at the villa, Sahal slept for a good four hours more before coming to again. The haziness had worn off, but her lower back was sore and itchy. Initially she’d give it a touch, but then remembering it shouldn’t be scratched she moved her hand away.

Standing up was painful…any bending was…but once standing it was fine. She headed off, looking for her Mistress.

By the time Sahal awoke, it was already evening and the sun had set. The elf warrior woman would find Siobhan sitting outside on the balcony. She'd put the cane aside and was using a manling slave as a footstool. The muscular Qadiri was a gift from the new Mirza of Lakish for freeing her from the torment her aunt had put her through. His duties hadn't changed much, though his new mistress was a lot nicer, but expected lots of attention.


Siobhan abhorred slavery, but on the other hand was very used to dealing with it due to her other job. Moreover, she loved being fawned over. Her solution was to free her slaves and pay them to carry on much as they had done before. This was not a progressive policy, but Siobhan was by now accustomed to being obeyed without question.


Siobhan was wearing a rather revealing white satin robe and sipping from a glass of wine. She smiled when she saw her knight. "Good evening, Sahal. I'm glad to see you're awake. How are you feeling, dear?" she asked jovially. She raised her foot with its perfectly pedicured toenails when the girl was close enough to kiss it without bending. Conveniently Sahal was shorter than her Lady.

Sahal kissed the foot without objection. It wasn’t strange for her at all.

“I am well, Lady Mistress. My back is still sore, but it is getting better.”

There was the pitter-patter of little feet and Grrfyrr rushed across the floor and tried to climb Sahal’s leg – without success!

Unable to bend down, Sahal used the Force to levitate the furball into her arms. “I missed you. You’re a good girl!”

<Like you! Hungry?> the Jester asked hopefully, nuzzling a bit.

Sahal realised that she too was very hungry. “That sounds good. Is supper soon, Mistress?” she asked hopefully.

It was probably a good thing that Siobhan took foot hygiene very seriously. Otherwise her constant desire for pretty girls and manlings to kiss her feet might be rather icky. Anyhow, on with the plot!


Siobhan watched the interaction between Grrfyrr and Sahal with amusement. It was so adorable! She nodded in response to Sahal's question. "You two are so cute. Food should be ready in a couple minutes. We can eat on the balcony and watch the sunset," she said happily. Siobhan was a bit cheesy and sappy these days.


"Sit down, sweetie," she offered jovially, pointing to a chair. "You can eat something, too. I've been satisfied with your services," she added as an aside to the manling.


"Thank you, Exalted Mistress. You are truly generous," he said submissively in Qadiri. Whether he actually meant any of this was another question, but he'd probably learned from his last mistress that fawning was a good idea!


"Indeed I am! If you're still hurting, Sahal, I can send Chesna over. She's...good at making people relax."

And so Mistress and Knight ate on the balcony.
“Thank you, Mistress. Chesna is very beautiful. I would love for her tend to me.”
And possibly tend to her too.

It had been a good day for Sahal, even barring the unsettling space flight, and now she felt whole, at one with her Mistress and with her life.

Siobhan smiled knowingly. "Feel free to play with her. Chesna is a lovely, caring woman," she said with a completely straight face. They ate in companionable silence. Even the manling slave got his own plate since Siobhan was happy with his fawning. He was still expected to sit at his Mistress' feet because she was sexist.


Finally, the meal was over and Siobhan arose, giving Sahal a kiss. "I enjoyed our day out together, Sahal. You're a good girl," she patted her on the shoulder. "I'm feeling tired, so I'll retire to my bed." Presumably she'd take a slave with her to cuddle because she didn't like sleeping alone. Alas, Tegaea was on a trip, but that just meant Siobhan would give her a very enthusiastic welcome when her titian-maned wife came home.
