Are you an all purpose virgin? Have you ever stuck it in someone, took it in the booty, stuck anything in your mouth? Had any fingers inside you?
"Why has the state of my sexual life become everyone else’s business?! That is none of your information. If you have nothing better to do than ask these dim questions I pity your poor mental state." I have announced my virginity enough times.
A guard who was true to his position? How surprising. It seemed that there were a few of them left. Maybe there were a few guards who were devoted to being ‘moral’ men, in the palace’s tainted perception of morality. “I am touched,” Another roll of his eyes. “But your services are not needed.” Malik could stand his own for the most part. He did not want to be in debt to anyone. Especially a guard. He bore enough cuts and bruises from his last interactions with them. But perhaps…this one was different? He seemed kinder and milder. Hah! What kind of guard was he? He seemed more small made than the others. “Valuable, hmm? And what do you think are valuable about my services? Unless you are hoping to use me for more personal use.” He tested, wondering if this man was as lecherous as the rest. “Then, I will inform you that I do not dabble in those activities.” He sneered.
He was flustered by what the young man implied. “N-no! I would never put a respectable person like you in such a disgraceful light, sir!” He said to the servant. Bakura tried hard not to blush. How embarrassing. He did not want to be seen as a shameful and immoral person. It was his duty to be an honorable soldier and protect the people. “You deserve respect like all of the other people in this palace. It is my duty to make that happen. I am only trying to do my job by helping you. What is your name?” He could see signs of abuse on this young man. There was no wonder why he was so apprehensive to Bakurah. He frowned. He ignored the comment about his services not being needed. “Has someone been hurting you? If you have been a victim of injustice I will punish the perpetrator.”
Respectable person? Was this a game. No one held the palace dancers at such high regard aside from the lechers that desired to use them for their personal entertainment and the few priests who respected their worth for ritual celebrations. It was extremely difficult for Malik to believe this man to be genuine. Why would he be? The palace was spewing with snakes and treacherous people. The world itself was a dark place. He trusted no one.
But he had a certain gift. Even as a child Malik had been skilled with reading the actions an emotions of people. If focused, he could even break down their appearance to accurately interpret some of their thoughts. This man was as honest as they come. How rare indeed. “You run few within these walls; guards who have a true sense of honor to all of the beings this palace holds.” He admitted finally after all of his jabs. “I have never been given respect by your comrades. They seem to think that the only valuable members of this palace are the court whilst forgetting those who feed, bathe and care for those gallant court members.” He hissed. Not to be surprised. Many of the other servants are as dull as can be.” He rolled his eyes without a thought. He looked down at his own bruises forearms. “If you seek a perpetrator then look to your own men.”
He swallowed. This servant made him nervous but he really wanted to know him better. He wasn’t used to being challenged by a servant. They were people to. They deserved to have their say and Bakurah would listen. “It’s a shame that you have met all of the bad men. I know that there are bad men in this unit but there are some good ones too. There are some good and honorable men who care about your safety.” He said to the slave. This kid was so honest and feisty. He had a great spirit that Bakurah really admired. “Thank you, sir.” He said with a smile. “I am ashamed that you have suffered those crimes. I will make sure that none of my men treat you so unfairly again.” he told him. He swallowed a lump in his throat. “You have my word.” He smiled weakly at the spunky slave. “You’re right. Not enough of the guards here give the rest of the cast the respect they need.”
