Liz was surprised by the other woman's courage. She couldn't imagine talking to anyone like that. In away Liz admired the woman's strength. She was also surprised when Bastian blushed. She hadn't known that the beastkind could do that. It was interesting. She felt badly because she was the cause of it. She didn't know how she could have prevented it but that didn't make it any less her fault. [color=ec008c]"I am fine. You can put me down." [/color]It was warmer here. Which was good. She didn't want to be an inconvenience. Which unfortunately didn't to be going all that well. She hadn't even thought about how holding her would limit Bastian. The woman was right he couldn't hold her and fight. But it wasn't like she had asked him to carry her. He was in charge. She couldn't tell him what to do. Liz blinked in surprise when the woman addressed her. She didn't know what to say. She had never been around an aggressive woman before. She looked to Bastain for guidance but doubted that he could help. [color=ec008c]"I am a slave mistress. I wouldn't not defend myself. I am not allowed. If you had killed Bastian you would become my new owner."[/color] She stated simply. She knew her role and the rules that came with it. She accepted that she would live within the rules of her role the rest of her life.
