It was a calm rather quiet day around the village square. Many had gone into Tabor proper, no Master or Mistress was to be found wandering about with slaves in tow, dragging purchases from the Market.

A Kajiras was studying scrolls in the old mill house, or so he said when silence was broken by his sister screaming down the hill, "brother come quick, there is a kajira alone in the village square". Half amused, thinking it might be a Panther hungry for ramberry pie, the kajirus traveled back to the square with his sister, to find a kajira not quite sure going by the name of Maijidah.
__________
After moments of questions and attempts to calm the kajiua down, it was determined that her Master left her in the square, a white silk by her stance, alone and confused, commanding she stay put. Knowing nightfall was approaching,

The Highland slaves gave her two options after finding out she was staying in Scimitar. One she could sit there all night and wait or two, come into the kennels until her Master returned. It was learned the girl was in tow with her Master by the name of Brazen and his associate by the name of Hariass something from Ar. All staying within the walls of Scimitar.

She chose the kennel option, sister aided in securing her within a cage while brother went to rummage through his Master's pantry seeking out food for the girl. Finding a piece of bosk meat and a small bowl of sul he returned to the kennel and shoved the bowl through the bars. With the appetite of a field slave working in fields of Sa-Tarna the girl ate the meat not touching the sul, when asks she replied, her kind do not eat of the earth. The kajirus remembered something about wheels and wagons.

Both confident the girl could not get out, they left for assorted tasks, leaving the wooden shutters open in case the Master did reappear. Hours later it seems with the girl still caged a shout rang out around the village, "Maijidah are you here". In a panic two brothers, having been sitting with the girl rushed to open the cage door to allow the girl to run back into the square where her Master had left her, too late!
__________
The Master came rumbling up the dock hill and into the square seeing the girl make way to the Pavilion and leashed her. When asked why she had moved, a kajirus replied he had moved her to safer quarters. Without hesitation the Master came at knocked the kjirus about and then brazed him with his sword, I have heard tell that other brothers were witness to the event, needless to say The Mistress Green was fetched to attend to wounds after the Master left the village with his cargo in tow.
