The thought of a slave having any kind of control over a free man was an anathema to Faith. His owner might but she had been trained in such a way that, should she run with tales to her owner, he would not act upon it. The only information that he was interested in was that which he had instructed her to give; at any other time she was to keep quiet or ask him if she might share something with him. But then, Lord Tristan was speaking about slaves of nobles and so on and she supposed that the situation might be different for them. Or maybe not.
Then, he asked her a question and his eyes lit up in fascination as he did. Faith considered it for a very brief moment and nodded "There are, Lord Tristan, although I do not know who they are exactly. My owner has told me of them but he wishes no contact with them, therefore I have never had any. But I am aware that we must have security around us, as a corpse is a valuable commodity, yes" she explained, her expression thoughtful as she did so. "I believe that they are used for all sorts of nefarious reasons, but I am unsure what exactly. If you wish to speak to my owner, I am sure that he will know more" she said, with certainty.
And he questioned her further, with a level of fascination, about her obedience. "I have been trained as a slave since birth, Lord Tristan. The only pleasure that I am allowed is in my obedience. Anything else is not acceptable" but then he asked about what she would do if her master asked her to do certain things and she did not have to consider it "Whatever my owner, my master, instructed me to do I would do without hesitation or question. It is my job to try and meet his needs, wishes and desires without him having to take the time to voice them" she explained and she smiled at him "So I would jump and I would be who he wanted me to be. Always" she hoped that would answer his question and she lapsed into silence for a moment and then he said that he could buy her.
It was a strange moment to Faith. He said it like it was something she had a choice in, which of course she did not. So, she chose her words carefully when she answered. "You could indeed buy me, Lord Tristan, if you wished it and my owner sold me. Then I would be yours and you and I could together do whatever you wanted, needed or desired." she said, calmly and matter of factly. It wasn't a case of if or maybe for her, it was what it was. If he bought her, he would own her and she would obey him. If he didn't, then Jamal owned her and she would obey him. But Faith couldn't quite help glancing at him with a very serious expression in her silver-grey eyes and asking, quite seriously "If you bought me, what would you do with me?" she wondered, her silver-grey eyes watching him with interest.
