(Yeah, I know he's not accepted yet, I was really in the mood to write it already. No one rpley until he is)
The fiddle was going mad, it's screeches harsh but elegant for the man before the fiddler. He dances, his muscles rippling with his movement, his clothing jingled as his hips moved as fluid. His hands waved around as he danced. His feet tapped and jumped in his trancing song. As the song ended, a whip cracked out and the dark colored elf gasped, then vest he wore was torn down the middle of his back. As blood slipped down his back, his owner dragged him off to announce he was selling the dancer for the night.
Sumer grunted and hunched over, the chain and collar replaced around his scarred neck. He glared at the man's back, willing a dagger in it.

Krystal clapped her hands happily, watching the dance.
When it ended, she saw the whip. She gasp and then snarled as she ran up to the noble and pounced at him. "You idiot! You don't sell people for money! That's not how the laws go around here! If I was the ruler, you will immediately feel what's it like to be whipped forever, double the times he's been whipped, then you would be be-headed!"

Intain was with Krystal, he was rarely too far from her. He hadn’t exactly watched the dancer. He’d been watching the crowd for danger. He chirruped with surprise when she left him. People screamed as he walked around them. Intain sighed. He shifted and then tried to pull Krystal off of the owner.
“Kitten, if you really want him to know what it feels like, why don’t you talk to your brothers?” He suggested and then mind spoke to her. ~ In the mean time, we could pay for his night and take care of him. I’ll make you both hot chocolate. ~

The owner growled and refrained from hitting her, "Leave me be! I bought him fair and square!"
Sumer sighed, more activists again. Some tried to save him earlier, but they failed since slavery was allowed on that last continent. He hugged his legs to his thin chest, maybe if he stayed quiet, he might get his food for the month.

Krystal glared. "Well, fine." She then got up and then looked at him. "How much did you pay for him? I'll triple that amount and buy him." she said to him. The observers watched with wide eyes. Some in amazement on how rich she was.

Intain kept a smile from his face. He didn’t want to ruin it for Krystal. He wanted the boy to be free to (and have some hot chocolate!). He had no problem with just making his owner disappear. After all, it would look as though a wild animal had killed him. But that wasn’t the greatest idea. He vaguely remembered that Lilis was exceptionally good at making people disappear… if she wasn’t too busy now. He looked at Sumer and then raised his gaze to stare at his owner.

The owner laughed, "He was worth four-thousand at birth, he's now nearly eight-teen, there is no way you can pay four times eighteen THEN double it!"
Sumer stared at them, why did they care? He was just a lowly dancer... unless... they wanted him as a present for some one.

Krystal blinked. At birth? My, that's terrible... Krystal growled and then grabbed the guy's throat. "Look... If you don't let him go now.... I swear... You will regret of ever seeing me! You won't see the light anymore when you wake up. You will only see death along your road if you keep him. One night, I'm going to go to your home, break in and torture you, cut you, slice all the parts of your body, then kill you by giving you a slice down your chest, removing your insides, and feeding them to wolves. Now, you won't want that, will you?" She asked darkly. "Oh, and if I can't do it, then I will ask my brother. He's worse than me. You know... The King of Renor Crysos. Vampire. He would love to drink a noble's blood that is pitiful like yours."

Intain shifted and chirruped. He watched Krystal and the owner for a minute and then looked at Sumer. He chirruped again and watched the crowd. Many people backed away from Intain.
~ Hullo, I’m Intain and Krystal is my wife. She really wants to free you. ~ Intain told Sumer while he gave the owner the penetrating cat stare.

Sumer shook slightly. He'd seen cat-men before, but non stared at him so intently. They were field workers and he was an entertainer. In their ranking, he had it good. They'd shake and look away once his golden eyes breeched them.
But now, this frightened him. He looked away and shook more.
The owner gasped, "Alright! Alright! Here's his deed!!" He pulled it out of his pocket.

Krystal smiled and took it. "Thanks for your cooperation. Now, leave, before I report this to my brother. He doesn't take it so kindly like me when it deals with slave drivers." She turned and then winked at Sumer. "Hey there!" She walked over to him and poked him. "How you feeling?"

Intained chirruped before starting to purr. He looked at Sumer and Krystal before dividing his attention between the owner and the crowd.
~ I suggest we take him home. Give him some clothes and food... after we find a healer to look at him. ~ Intain told Krystal as he growled at someone who came to close.

The ex-owner scurried away.
Sumer stood and looked between them. He bowed elegantly to his new masters.

Krystal looked at him and then giggled. She walked up to him and poked him. "What's your name, hm?" She asked ever so sweetly. "When I know your name, I'm going to find a job for you for dancing to the crowd while getting paid for that. You are just perfect! I'm a good singer, and you are a good dancer. I just need someone to play music, then we are settled." she said and giggled.

~ You wound me Kitten. ~ Intain said with a mournful chirrup before shifting. “No, I haven’t played in a long time.” He smiled slightly at them. “But I’m a pretty good cook.”

He looked between them, then opened his mouth to speak, "Vesme theli aj?" 'What are you saying?'. To keep him from speaking out, his owner used a spell that made only his words understandable to Sumer. Sumer still spoke his birth tongue, these people's words meant nothing.

“Okay,” Intain said cheerily, “a different approach then. Intain.” He pointed himself as he said his name and then to Krystal, saying her name. Afterwards he watched Sumer, purring softly. If this didn’t work, there was one more approach that Intain would try.

Krystal began to think. "He must not speak our language... I might educate him some so he's passable to everyone and speak normally like anyone." she said. "Is it alright if I keep him around the house with us? We could let him use the spare bedroom." she told him.

Intain chuckled. "Sounds like a good idea to me." He said with a smile at them. "I wouldn't pounce on the education idea right away Kitten. He should try settling in before he gives himself a headache with the learning. I wonder what he likes to eat? What do you want for supper Kitten? I bought more chocolate... so you know what that means..." He grinned. "But you'll have to share with him if he likes it."

Sumer looked between them, their voices saying something, but he didn't understand. When the cat smiled, he flinched and backed away, "Joo nel wary." 'Have mercy'.

Intain blinked in confusion and then walked over to Sumer. He knelt before him, lowering his head and flattening his ears back. This was the best way he could think of to tell the kid that he wasn’t going to hurt him without speaking. If he’d felt like shifting leopard, he would’ve rolled onto his back to show submission. He’d do that if Sumer still didn’t understand.

Krystal sighed. "Aww, you poor thing." She walked up to him and gave him a hug and a tug on his ear lightly. She felt his back from the scars and she shivered at the touch. She then pulled back and gave him a smile, showing she cared for him.

He backed off, shaking now that the odd lady touched him, "Yargo to vellave?!" 'What do yo want with me?'. The bowing confused him and her touching made him think he was now her toy.

Intain sighed and stood. He patted Krystal’s shoulder. “Hun, I don’t think he understands. He has been a slave all his life.” He reminded her gently and hugged her.

Krystal sighed and began to think. She then had an idea. "Can you read? REEAD." she then waved her hands in the sky and a peice of paper appeared along with a fountain pen. She then wrote down. 'Friends'. She then drew a picture of her as a stick figure with a tail and ears smiling happily and holding his hand, him smiling as well. She then drew Intain as well, him smiling and holding her hand. And on it, she wrote, 'husband and wife'.
