It seems one of the enuichs is feeling defiant today. I hope he has not been giving you grief, Sire. If there is anything I can do to ease your burdens my Lord, please let me know.










[ooc; She's also a part of Cain's harem, definitely one of the wives and surely does not like First Wife or Lallis for that matter. She is the sort looking to further her station and position within the harem. So scheming wife ahoy.]

I believe the matter has already been settled (http://misterblackbird.livejournal.com/4587.html?thread=216811#t216811), Lady Mina. A loss for the harem, as he is one the servants, but I believe there are still some other eunuchs fit to serve.

[madame_harker]

Ah then that is good news to hear since he was rather inept with his duties.



[ooc; ♥ Get some rest then. Talk to you later. ]

[hajikemomo.livejournal.com]

Would you like some tea, Lady Mina?

[madame_harker]

That would be lovely.


[ooc; lol, true but Mina says being a favorite tends to help to not become hated later.]

[hajikemomo.livejournal.com]

Then I'll be by shortly.

[irishlieutenant.livejournal.com]

Honestly. You'd think he'd settle in by now...

Is there anything I can get you, my lady?

[madame_harker]

Well it seems he will be settling elsewhere as the Vizier has kindly informed me.

Nothing at present but thank you, Gillette. You have been most helpful to our Lord.

[irishlieutenant.livejournal.com]

So I can see. At least I won't have to work with him any more, thank Allah.

Thank you, my lady. I do try.

[ooc: what strikes?]

[madame_harker]

Your efforts are greatly appreciated by all of us.

[oncecursed.livejournal.com]

Well, that's never any good...

[madame_harker]

No it is not. Especially since the Sultan takes such good care of all of us. To repay him with anything but loyalty and obediance is a sin.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Shayk Radu Barvon and myself came to a most beneficial agreement regarding him. He will be acting as a personal guard now. I think he will be more satisfied with that position, but I am sorry to lose him, somehow.

Did he cause you any difficulties? Are you well this day?

[madame_harker]

No, he did not cause me any difficulties directly. I am more worried that he has caused you undue stress. I am well, my Lord.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

No, I'm quite well.
My worries have nothing to do with him at all.

[madame_harker]

If there is anything I can do to ease your mind let me know.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

No, unfortunately, there isn't. Though I so wish you could.

[madame_harker]

I wish I could as well. I do not like to see you burdened so my Lord.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Come and talk to me of other things.
What are you scheming about these days?

[madame_harker]

Ah my Lord, I merely think on too many things. Forgive me if you see my actions as scheming.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

And what might those things be, hm?
You're quite clever, you know. Perhaps 'scheming' is too strong a word. Designing, maybe? I know you're a bit of a scholar, perhaps you'll improve upon the things already written.

[madame_harker]

I merely wonder what will happen when First wife finally produces your heir. And what would happen if one of us produces the heir instead. And I wonder what will happen if your enemies perceive any weaknesses. I worry for you my Lord.


[ooc; Strike so not there!]

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Then you have the very same worries I do.
Remarkable.
Any advice, clever one?

[madame_harker]

I'm afraid I do not have any worthwhile advice that you may not have already thought of. Since it seems likely you may have to show your enemies your strenth through example.

One can't help feeling sorry for the poor dear. Although the prospect of being sold as a bodyguard does seem to have lifted his spirits a tad.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

He was a warrior before he came to me as a slave. It was still in his blood to fight, so I think he is better situated now.

You simply have a different sort of spirit.

[madame_harker]

You are quite kind my Lord.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Mmm... I suppose you have no need for warriors? It is peaceful here... But it's good that he would have the chance to protect a little girl.

Not... a warrior? No, peace is better... As you say, my sultan.

[madame_harker]

It is hard to feel sorry for one who is ungrateful to the Lord.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Ah, even so, I suppose he was having trouble... adjusting... What happened to him disturbs me greatly for some reason... Yet, it's all turned out for the best, thanks to the Lord.

[madame_harker]

Yes, it has worked out. The Sultan is most wise in his decisions.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Ah, that he is, indeed.
