For a moment, Calen actually thought about asking for his job back. The Chateau, as much as he hated this place, made him socially active. He had walked halfway to Kennedy’s office and changed his mind. This was something he did pretty often, so it wasn’t even a surprise. He’d have to find another job. One that didn’t actually require him being inside the Chateau. He needed a change of scenery. As he walked, his hand brushed along the various cells in his path, and curiosity got the best as him. Some of them he actually looked in before continuing on. It was the girl off to the side that he hadn’t seen before that made him stop. “You’re new.” His words were plain. She may not be entirely new, but she was new to him.

For the most part, Nathaniel ignored the slaves that he passed. It wasn't until he arrived at Carmen's cell that he even reached for his keys. "Let's set down a few ground rules," he said as he unlocked her cell door. "As a guest in my home, you will listen first to me. My word is law. If Calen asks you to do something that doesn't go against what I say, then you will listen to him next. My staff will follow your orders within reason. You are not to go into my bedroom, my wine cellar, or my study. You are not to drink, smoke, or bring drugs into my house. Any mess you make, you will see to it that it gets cleaned up. I will feed you, see to it that you get rest, and keep you clothed. If you need to stay longer than just a few days, then make sure you follow the rules."

Nathaniel opened the door and looked at the girl. He stepped to the side to let her pass through. "I don't know what happened that prompted Calen to ask for this, and I won't ask you to tell me. Just know that, as a guard, it is my job to make sure that you aren't considered damaged goods by potential buyers."
