"Yes...Of course master." Serenity said with a small yawn as she shrunk down to her natural size and laid down on the stool. "I never doubted you." She said sleepily as her small body demanded sleep.

Elva paused for a moment before answering, taking and processing the question. "I do not miss the beatings and the torture...but I knew Silvia before all this...she was not like she was...I do not mean to sound....insolent, but perhaps it is the effect of something that was given to her or cast upon her. I have seen the effects of love potions before mistress...I have long suspected that she was...enchanted to your side by such a means...I regret the loss of life mistress, all Angelo do from birth, that is why our warfare was so weak, why we were rightly enslaved by the superior saxons. Now our peaceful nature can be put to true use, at the side of our masters...be it in life...or death."
A smart slave answer, Elva was not dumb by any means, simply sheltered. Her mind was quite sharp, but timid, she would have made an excellent scholar had her destiny not been to serve Mai. "I do not miss the beatings, but I do regret the loss of her life...and the loss of your happiness...and most of all, my failure to cure you of it."

Alexander sat back down and slumped as he heard the question. He thought for a moment and then looked back. "Do not make me answer this old friend. I have fought and killed in you name for eons beyond human life, we have both seen ages rise and fall, and yet only now do you decide to age and perhaps fall. Before you would have me choose between my friend and my legion, I would have you decide if a slave, or a race of a slave, a million slaves, come before the entirety of your people." The champion of the saxons shook his head, how complicated things had become. "How is Grace...has she yet smiled? Or lifted her head above eye level once in the past month?"
