The dining hall was crowded with men now. They didn’t pay my Masters much attention, except one


    group.


    I didn’t look up as boots stopped by our table, but I knew who it was when I heard the voices.


    “You are too weak to be her favorites,” the man said. “No one is better at keeping her attention than we


    are. Soon she will understand what pathetic sniveling creatures you really are and sell your worthless


    selves.”


    Master Damien didn’t even acknowledge them. He chewed thoughtfully and took another bite


    swallowing it down with a swig from his cup.


    “Meat’s better tonight,” Master Evan said.


    Master Kein disagreed, “Still too heavy with the gravy.”


    The man mmed what was most likely his fist on the table and Master Damien offered me a chunk of


    meat. I took it and chewed like I was supposed to, but the tension was rising in the air. This would not


    end peacefully.


    My Masters were ready for a good fight. They just wanted this family to get a Little more worked up.


    Master Damien and his Brothers were rulers of their tempers. They knew men didn’t think right once


    the rage took hold of them.


    The other men surrounded our table and I swallowed what had been in my mouth. Master Damien was


    very clear in his internalmand. When the fight started, I was to get under the table and stay there.


    One of the men swung out at Master Damien and I scrambled into my hiding spot. The fight started


    swiftly. The men were battling it out amid the shouting of their excited cousins.


    Part of me was d to be ignored and under the table. A Larger part of me wanted to be out there with


    them, tearing those guys up. I could feel it. My owners were having a wonderful time.

    The men they were fighting were from a differentpound. Their style was novel. Master Damien and


    his Brothers were fascinated at the moves they were using. Not to say the other men were winning, but


    my Masters were enjoying ying with them.


    A roar stopped all the noise from the men. I peeked out and some women were entering the hall. The


    men separated like nothing had happened and everyone went back to their seats.


    I waited until Master Damien motioned for me and I crawled back to my kneeling ce. They fed me


    and talked as the women wove through the crowd.


    “Fighting, young men?” Nu-reeh asked.


    “Yes, Mistress,” we answered as a group.


    “Did you enjoy it?” she asked.


    “Yes, Mistress.


    She seemed satisfied and walked off, her talons ttering Lightly on the floor.


    I heard the internal discussion as my men contemted the women. Nu-reeh Liked to see them riled


    up and fighting. When the men were fired up they were entertaining.


    We walked back toward our rooms and were apanied by Ronal and his three Brothers. Walking


    with the other men I had the strange memory of a three Legged dog that Lived down the street on


    Earth. The dog never seemed aware of his disability, but everyone else was.


    My men had watched my internal musings with some amount of humor. They seemed to find the


    analogy strange. It was fitting, though. Ronal’s loss was visible to everyone that saw them. The only


    men seemingly without issue with it were the Brothers involved.


    Inside our rooms Master Christof whisked me into the back to change. He tied the skirt so my Lower


    body was entirely covered. The wrap for my top was also looped around me several times.

    I danced around the fire pit as Master Kein strummed his stringed instrument. Dancing, for once, was


    strange. Master Damien and his Brothers were torn between wanting to see my flesh teasing them and


    hiding it from our guests. I did my best to be conservative with my moves.
