The next few words were important, her future depended on it and even she didn't know what she wanted. When the elderly woman finally spoke, Vieira twitched but did her best to suppress it. "Yes ma'am," she confirmed with a nod of her head. Her eyes scanned the ground and found her feet. It would be easier if the other were in a taller form of two legs and she would not be risking making eye contact and she knew that from one of her first lessons as a child, along with the res tof her etiquette. Vieira swallowed hard and felt the strain in her throat. "Vieira Lykoi," she announced robotically. "Formally Kimaris," she added and nodded. "I am here to serve you," she said to make sure the point was across. Vieira felt desperate for a response, for a clue on what was going to happen. She was still exhausted from travel but she was able to remain still and could for some time to come, but without knowing, she felt lost and without purpose. She needed direction and order and, if she were a gift denied, she'd ultimately return to Eric whether or not she was supposed to. And she'd return to accept a punishment to a fault none of her own. |
