Freja floated into the room, the bird cage Dusty had given her was placed firmly in her hands, she went over to her desk and placed it on there. Freja smiled,"I suppose I'll have to get Liliana to hang it from the ceiling, Liliana!"she shouted her slave's name though she couldn't see her in sight.
Freja looked at her desk, there was a note from the red-headed assassin named Kyme had left after their odd time yesterday night. Freja felt a little sting seeing the note. But she had Anactoria, so she shouldn't feel lonely.
Yes,Anactoria who barely even came to see her anymore amongst all the chores and all the damn suitors. Freja was as convinced as ever Anactoria would stop her pursuit and see Freja for whom she really was, that was if Anactoria would ever have time to see Freja in the first place.
Freja wasn't lonely.
With a light laugh Freja jumped on the bed where tons of stuffed animals from child-hood were scattered about. She picked up a teddy-bear and began to stroking it's ears, "What should I do now?"she asked the bear looking into it's beady eyes.
Freja felt her hands begin to shake and her grip on the bear suddenly became very firm. And with a swift motion of her arm Freja tore the head off of the bear with ease. "Oh no,"Freja giggled,"It seems I've made an accident."she looked around,still not Liliana in sight. "Liliana!?"

"I am here mistress." She said, making herself known from the back corner of the room. She had tried to get there as fast as she could, but even with all her training in the ninja arts she couldn't quite master the ability to step into view as soon as her name was called. Though the sneaking around she was quite good at, she'd always been praised on that and it was an effective skill for a maid. After all, cleaning, cooking, serving, it was all background. The less noticeable she could be, the better she was at her life's work.
"You called for me mistress, how may I serve you?" She glanced at the bear in her mistress' hands. Ripping it off had seemed a tad bit drastic and unnecessary but Freja could vent whatever feelings she had as she wished. It was not the slave's place to comment or criticize. Hopefully she wouldn't ask her to sew it back on, While not horrid at it, sewing was not one of Lily's well trained talents.

Freja looked up and smiled at Liliana,grateful for the servant entering he room when she called her. Freja stood up and walked across the room towards the bird cage and handed it to Liliana,"Be a dear and put this bird cage in a safe place. And be careful his wings are broken..."
Freja spoke briefly as she walked over to her bed and again and picked up the two pieces of bear that she had torn,"I broke another toy,"Freja sighed looking into the bear head's eyes and sighed,but then smiled,"Oh well. Two is better then one,right Liliana?"

Liliana bowed and began looking for a place to hang the cage. "I will handle it with the utmost care." She glanced up at the ceiling and briefly wondered how she might get it up there, as well as make it easily accessible to her mistress. "Whatever you say Mistress." She replied and stepped next to the wall. From her pocket she pulled out a near invisible wire along with three long needles. She threaded the wire through the eyelets of the needles, the wire stung through the top hook of the cage. With a quick flick the first needle was embedded in the ceiling, then the second followed quickly after. With the cage strung between them, pulling on the string gently carried it up to sit near the ceiling. The third one was tied off at the end and she stuck this one at chest level, winding the string around it until the line was taught. All it would take to get the cage down would be simply pulling it from the wall and letting it slowly unwind until the cage could be reached by hand.

"Ah,Liliana.."Freja said,dropping the teddy-bear on the bed and walking over to her servant. "That's a really nice spot you put it in,"she smiled. Freja paused for a moment and her eyes landed on Liliana's arms,"I wonder what would happen if I broke your wings? Then you couldn't fly away could you..?"Freja said taking Liliana and tracing her finger slowly up and down her slave's arm.

Lily had to hide the shudder she felt at the touch and the threat, the cold chill was a glorious feeling. "Well mistress," she began, "if you were to break both then it would be far harder for me to serve you, and of what use is a damaged tool? Only one however and I would still be able to function, though not nearly as well." She kept her face straight and hid all emotion, but inside she was about to burst. This was by far the greatest test of loyalty she had ever taken. She hoped beyond hope that the mistress would be pleased. "However you needn't bother breaking things to keep me by your side, it is my duty. Though if you wish to do so anyway, my body is yours."

"My body is yours.."Freja whispered Liliana's words to herself as she began to tap her finger-nails along the slave's body,"Almost makes me think you might have been some kind of harem girl in a past life."Freja giggled, she noticed Liliana's skin was very smooth and pretty for a slave and couldn't help but comment,"I wonder how you look so in shape for someone in your position."

"I must keep healthy if I'm to be ready to follow orders at all times." She looked at her mistress. "It is my duty to do so." Plus there was the variety of exercises she did in her free time, the personal training, just because she wasn't going to be a ninja assassin anymore did not mean the skills were not useful for other aspects of life. In fact, a good portion of the skills could easily be carried over to her new position of servitude. "I have also a small knowledge of herbs and other things to reduce scarring from accidents both truly unexpected and some not so accidental."

Freja placed her nose against Liliana's arm and traced it up the girl's skin,"You need to show me those exercises one day..."and suddenly without warning Freja took Lil's arm and bent it behind the slave's back, she wrapped her arm around Liliana's neck. "So what's the catch? The perfect servant? Something's up..."

Lily bit her lip at the pain, she knew dozens of ways to get out of such a hold, some painless, some deadly, but she didn't even resist. "The catch is that I was damned expensive and am by no means perfect." She managed to say. "I like this life and you're not going to find another one like me without a lot of work. Whether or not you believe me is up to you, but you seem like the type who can pull the truth out of whoever you like. Feel free to verify all I've said."

Freja arched an eye-brow, she began to run her finger along Liliana's neck while humming to herself and thinking about the slave's words. "Oh..."freja simply said, a tad disappointed at the unexciting answer but satisfied nonetheless. She let go of Liliana,"My apologies."

Lily returned to attention, though she wanted to rub the sting out of her arm. "There is nothing to apologize for mistress. You are right to be suspicious when something as useful as I comes sailing into your lap, but I assure you, I would do nothing to harm the one who owns me."

"Ah,very well then."Freja shrugged and made her way over to her bed, she laughed lightly as she pounced on the bed sending a few stuffed animals flying off and suddenly buried her face in her pillow."You're free for the day..I suppose."

"Yes mistress." Lily bowed and began walking out, not turning her back on her new owner. It really was a disappointment, all the wasted possibilities. She seemed like a proper mistress and all Lily had gotten was a mildly sore arm. Still, she couldn't complain, that was a right reserved for people who weren't slaves. Once she had stepped out of the room she quietly shut the door and glanced around the hall. It was interesting being in a castle, certainly a new experience though it meant that due to the large amount of maids and other servants around Lily was not needed nearly as much and couldn't fully shine. Perhaps it would improve later, she sincerely hoped that would be the case.
