Don't speak!" Srah frowned at the girl and Marcia dropped her eyes submissively. "I told you to prepare a new bath. Are you lazy as well as stupid?"
"N-No..." Marcia shook her head, staring down at the floor.
"You should be happy to have such a kind Master."
"Um..." I thought I should say something about that, but Srah didn't give me a chance.
"If it was up to me, I'd have you whipped for your insolence!"
"Whipped?" I blinked at her.
"I'm sorry," Marcia whispered, trembling and maybe even crying.
"Look at you! Where is your Master going to find a bull willing to breed with a skinny bag of bones like you?"
"Earth girls like to be skinny," I said slowly. "So, I don't think she's gonna, um ... breed or whatever."
"A concubine?" Srah giggled. "I thought you'd want boys in your harem."
