Jaden lowered his hands to his side sat back on his heels, then deciding that position was too uncomfortable if he had too much to say, shifted to a better position on the bed. He involuntarily dropped his head to stare at the bed as he thought about what he had to say. He decided he would just start at the beginning, from when he first came.

He was always honest with people, sometimes bluntly so, but he always tried to explain how he felt without insulting or demeaning others. In this case though, it was about the same as letting them read his thoughts, except he was required to vocalize his thoughts, voluntarily telling what he felt. He vaguely wondered if the amulet thing really worked, or if Mistress Ruby just wasn't reacting to his thoughts.

Raising his head to meet Mistress Ruby's eyes again, he began haltingly, "Well, first of all, life here in the dungeon is so much different than what I had expected. When I came, I don't know what I was expecting, but I just felt it was right to come here and stay. I closed the door to my former life. Except for maybe my friend who brought me, noone will remember me after a few weeks. My relatives don't know me that well, and if they don't get an answer to their christmas or birthday cards to me, they won't care."

"I thought this dungeon would be like the kind you find in medieval dungeons, but it's not really like that. I was afraid I would be chained up and left in a cage as soon as I got here - I don't like closed in areas very much. Sir Chuck put me in a..a.. I don't know what it was, but he left me there as punishment for not being polite. That was bad enough for me that it was so small an area, but the lights were off too, and there were things attached to me and they kept waking me up. I was so glad to get out, and I was feeling very sorry and tired when I got out."

"Before he put me in there though, I had to clean the floor with a toothbrush, and that took a long time, much longer than brushing teeth. Sir Chuck came to look at my work, and let me stand up, but thought I was trying to kill him by leaving the toothbrush and toothpaste on the floor." He was rewarded by a slight smile playing about Mistress Ruby's lips, as he revealed this bit of information "He punished me for that too, saying I had to clean up the rest of the equipment without using my hands. After that, I was supposed to look for food, and met Jade. I was accidentally rude to her, and that was why Sir Chuck put me into the...box thing."

He thought back to just a few hours ago, when they had started playing with him, and tried to remember the feelings rushing through him at the time. His face lightened as he remembered, "When you and the girls were playing with me..." he paused, trying to think of the best way to word it, then blurted out, "Who wouldn't want to be played with by three beautiful women?" Jaden blushed, realizing what he'd just said, "I..I guess maybe not everyone would, but I don't mind. Except..." he trailed off again, turning a shade redder than before. Taking a deep breath and drawing on the strength and encouragement he found in Mistress Ruby's eyes, he forced himself to continue, "You're all strangers to me, and it doesn't really feel right in my head to let strangers do whatever they want to me, but I'm afraid if I don't do what you tell me to or do what you tell me not to do, I'll get punished and be put into another small place like before."

He closed his eyes and shivered, remembering the contraption he had been wedged so uncomfortably into - smooth wood grinding against clammy skin, straps, wires, cups, and all sorts of items tied around his body and around the box-like thing, confining him to the box, preventing any motion on his part. Sweat broke out on his forehead as he tried to forget and move on to other topics. Mistress Ruby saw his discomfort, and detangling herself from Myya and Sari, gently wrapped her arms around Jaden, stroking his hair. "It's okay, pet." she soothed. When he was visibly calmer, she asked "And what do you think of Elizabeth?", directing his train of thought back on track. She gave his hair one last stroke, and languished on her pillows with the two girls again.

Jaden's adoring eyes followed his Mistress back to her spot between his slave sisters. "She's frighteningly beautiful." answered Jaden honestly, thoughts of the nasty punishment he'd had wiped away by the reminiscense of Mistress Elizabeth. "Mistress Elizabeth scares me, because she seems to have an aura of power around her, but she excites me too." he said. "At first I didn't know she was a vampire, but then she bit that girl who came here earlier," Green eyes widening in alarm, he remembered what had happened, and words poured out of his mouth, expressing his concern for littleslut, "She won't die, will she? Mistress Elizabeth bit her on the neck, and then licked her. Littleslut was all shaking and stuff, then she didn't move for awhile." Slowing down, he remembered what had happened after she was bitten, "Oh yeah...I heard her giggling afterwards. I guess that means it doesn't hurt."

Returning to the question his Mistress had asked, Jaden answered, "I think I can serve her like I serve you, Mistress, but you said she likes to play games. That makes it a bit harder to know if she's joking or if she's serious. Who's Yuri? Does Mistress Elizabeth always bite people?"
