Kay's fears flashed into anger at Sai's threat of forced feeding. If she was a free woman here, then Kay was not going to let anyone treat her as a slave. She knew Sai would win any fight, but she might be able to do enough damage to make Sai back off. That or go the submissive route like Séanait had suggested and slit the giant woman's throat in her sleep.

One hand on the hilt of her small kitchen knife and with her eyes narrowed in anger, Kay kept her voice low, but let anger fill her tone.

"Just try it and see what happens. If I'm a free woman now, I won't let you treat me like a thrall."

Even so, despite her anger, Kay did take a step towards Kail. She didn't want to fight Sai and, more importantly, she didn't want to get hurt. Kail didn't seem to approve of Sai's threat, so she wanted to be near him in case Sai tried anything.

When Kail suggested that they sit, Kay very deliberately made sure that Sai sat before she did, and then chose a seat that put the table between them. She accepted the water with a small "thank you" and then, with her eyes watching Sai warily, she complied with Kail's request to know more about her.

"I'm from Cerdcáer in Dál Niallán, which is one of the four kingdoms of Argatailén. My family were swordsmiths, as far back as anyone can remember. Da always claimed we were descended form Cerd himself, though I don't know about that. The priests were never particularly happy to hear him say that.

"A couple of years ago, the army of Prince Wulfbeorht of Werraland invaded. Séanait Thusendealdor lead the vanguard and captured my town. Some friends and I were out in the forest, and we were captured by scouts. The others were ransomed back to their families, but Séanait took a liking to me and kept me as her slave."

Kay shrugged self consciously, not entirely sure what they would make of her now that they knew she was war booty.

"She was a good mistress as far as things go, and even made me her cupbearer."

Kay's hand went to the finely wrought golden chain around her neck, fiddling with the fine wire beads as she finished speaking, not know what else Kail might expect her to say.

[Sai]

Sai folded her arms pouting looking at Kail as their kept walking. He didn’t have to scold her like a child. Once inside she didn’t even look at the items on the table, instead she took a seat closer to the door. Watching as Caoilfhion took a seat far away from her, she waited a few moments before excusing herself outside, deciding that if Kail is gonna treat her like a child she might as well look like one. The only downside was that her clothes wouldn’t fit her anymore. but she was only going to change her height so wrapping herself in her hair should be enough.


Listening outside of the door, to the story as she let the familiar breaking of her bones, relax her. Feeling them crack, break and mend themselves until she was only three feet and six inches tall (3’6”), waving her little arms in the sleeves of her dress. Taking as up of her dress in her arms glad that she decided to leave her hair the same length for once, she walked back inside clawing into the chair that she was in before, once in the chair she crossed her arms and pouted.


She got back in time to hear the rest of Caolifhion tale, of her being taken by captive and sold as a slave pretty much. Feeling no pity for her only a small touch of sadness because she was in a similar situation once in her life, but now she has risen and learn her father’s skill. Lending forward she pulled up the sleeves of her dress before grabbing her cup of water.


“So this Séanait person is the only person from your world you are going to miss?” Her voice much more at a higher vocal to match her new child-size body.


Flicking her eyes to Kail not sure what he think of this whole situation, but still saw the girl as weak for crying about be taken to a new world. “What do you do in your spare moments of life when you're not being a cupbearer and servant to your mistress.” Taking another sip of her water wondering if she did what she did when she was younger, as she swung her legs back and fore on the chair.

Kail silently gave Caolifhion his undivided attention to her story as he was trying to understand the gailic names and some terms from that era of history from his world. Since some things would be arcaic and not used in his era of time. It did make him wonder if that she stayed here that it would make her feel depressed or something since he would be making various blades and other weapons. But as he drank the name of Séanait made the blond pause for a second right before he drank. It seemed that kismet was happening way too often with him as he was already putting one plus one equaling two right now. Since the odds were that Séanait that Caolifhion was speaking about the same woman that he met. It sadden him that the blond across from him was a slave but seemed that there was slight freedom for this lady. As he spoke a child version of Sai coming back in and he wanted to sigh a bit but turned his attention back to Caolifhion.

"I thank you for telling me about yourself, it gives me a bit better idea about you. Times right now in this world are just as chaotic or even more so. The region we are in is called I think Teair Nova, since I have not had a chance to learn more about this place. As the kingdom sees us Fated as blights to there world. Since some of us have other worldly knowlage and could upset there peaceful fantasy. But at the same time those of us could change this place for the better. But there fear of the unknown of what we can do is seeing us as a threat" he said and drank a bit of water and got up again and brought a bowl of fruits he got from the farming area. He then placed it on the table and sat down again.

"The place we are in, Gallows Bane is one of the safe places for us fated to live. But someone like yourself you can easily blend in more so then I. If you venture out into the kingdom just be careful about mentioning that you are fated. But might I sudjest you stay here in Gallows Bane for right now. Until you get your barrings in this world. I can offer you my place or you can go to Haven which is a home that a friend of mine is staying at. Which is bigger and has better living arrangements. The choice is yours on this Caolifhion, I am sorry if that was long winded" he said with a chuckle as he did not know if he gave too much for the lady to understand.
