Okothi's House

[Zaine]

After a few hours of bumpy riding, the two came up to a large house. As the speeder stopped in a small garage, the bumpy ride stopped. Okothi jumped off the speeder and lifted the boy off of it. He carried him inside.

Inside was beautiful. Large ornaments decorated the room, as well as 5 giant couches filling the room. There was a stairway on one side. The paintings gave the room color. Okothi set the boy gently on the couch. He let go of the boy as he began speaking to him.

"Those cuffs look a little tight on you. Hows about I get you out of them?"

[Solin]

Solin watched as he slowly got closer and closer to the house in the distance.
As they stopped he found himself being picked up again, he yelped a little as his new master bumped up against his leg.
He hoped that he hadn’t heard and he found himself being set down on something that was rather to conferrable.
Looking down he looked at the couch strangely and brushed his hand up and down on it, he found himself purring and he held his hands over his mouth embarrassed.
He hadn’t ever been on a couch before, most of the time it was always cold hard metal.
When his new master said something about taking off his cuffs he looked at him.
”You may do what you wish master.”

[Zaine]

Okothi smiled at the young boy. "I am not your master." He said quietly, smiling. He reached down and pulled the cuffs off. He smiled at the young boy. He left the room for a moment and came back with a small pillow. He slipped it under the boy's head and covered him with a blanket.

"No one is your master, now." He said, smiling.

"That better for you?"

[Solin]

Solin looked at the man strangely; it was odd that he would say something like that.
”But master you have purchased me, I belong to you now. As such I shall do whatever you say…”
When Okothi came back and gave him a pillow and a blanket he felt a deep purr echo from his throat, he tried to stop himself although this time he found it futile as his tail flicked back and forth.
He tried to say something although he found it just a futile as trying to stop purring.

[Zaine]

Okothi smiled. "You're not a slave anymore. Hard to believe, I know, but it is true." His smile faded as he pulled off his instrument and tossed it to a separate couch. He walked into another room and pulled out a large tray with about 6 plates of food and 4 glasses and put it in front of the boy. "Help yourself." He smiled an innocent smile.

[Solin]

Solin looked at him, having his chains off was a great relief.
As he sat up he watched and as Okothi brought out the meal Solin gasped, he had never seen so much food before.
Although the food was tempting, he still he didn’t take anything.
He looked across the table to see Okothi not eating any, he waited as he thought about the fact that he may be punished if he did the wrong thing.

He slowly picked up a piece of meat and sniffed it, his ears flattened against his head and he looked at it strangely.
Licking the meat he found it wasn’t all that bad, or at least better than whatever he had eaten in the slave market.
He gobbled up the rest of the piece of meat and looked around the room.

[Zaine]

Okothi smiled. "Help yourself. You didn't think all this was for me, did you?" He pushed one of the glasses and plates forward toward the boy. He was going to play his instrument, but he didn't really feel like it. He just turned his head and put his hands behind his head in relaxation.

[Solin]

”Thank you Master.”
Solin nodded and began to eat, although still not very fast.
It felt good to actually have a meal for once, although he never really ate the slop they fed him well he was still in bondage.

After finishing off his meal he stood up and started picking up the plates, after all it was expected that he clean.

[Zaine]

Okothi shook his head. "I'll clean this up. You just put your head down and relax." He whispered, taking the tray back down the stairs. He came back up and rested his head on a different pillow on a seperate couch.

[Solin]

Solin sat back down he was feeling more confused than he had it quite a while.
He curled his tail around to his front and started scratching it, he looked around the house and looked at all the paintings and such.

[Zaine]

Okothi turned his head. The boy was a bit confused. "Alright, lemme explain. I bought you, and I freed you. Simple as that." He said, smiling. He sighed as he looked around himself.

[Solin]

Solin nodded and continued to scratch away at his tail.
It was quite a conundrum to be a slave one day and in less than an hour be free; it was something that was quite hard for him to get used to.
”You have a lot of nice things…” He hoped that it had been ok for him to talk without being spoken to, after all Okothi said he was free.

[Zaine]

Okothi smiled at Solin. "Well, thanks." He said. The boy seemed to not think he was allowed to speak. No wonder he isn't talking much... He sighed as he looked back to him.

[Solin]

Solin gave a sort of half hearted smile before returning his gaze downward to his tail.
Scratching it slowly he eventually got tired of it and let it flick back and forth behind him.
Looking back at Okothi he noticed the instrument he had set down earlier, he was confused at first about what it was but it must be special.
”What is that?” He pointed to the instrument.

[Zaine]

Okothi turns his head toward the instrument. "Oh, that? That's called a Mandovial. Would you like to hear it?" He asked, smiling. The boy didn't seem to know what a Mandovial was, so he'd show him."

[Solin]

Solin nodded softly, he was still getting used to the free thing but he was trying hard.
”Yes master.”
Sitting up straight he sat at attention to make sure that he wasn’t being rude as well as to hear properly.

[Zaine]

Okothi smiled as he stood up. He lifted up the instrument. He began plucking the different strings on the mandovial in a rhythm. The strings created a song, which was played perfectly by Okothi. He kept his eyes on the strings as he continued plucking them.

[Solin]

Solin watched patently as he found himself fascinated by the instrument.
His ears stood straight up and he smiled, it was quite interesting.
He let a slight smile cross his lips and he watched the mans hands pluck each string and he grabbed a hold of his tail scratching it.
”Its.. Very nice.”

[Zaine]

Okothi smiled as he continued playing.

"Why, thank you. It's nice to hear you like it." He said, smiling. He stopped playing and set down the instrument. "You look like you could use some sleep. Go ahead."
