Another battle, another handful of casualties but Kaius knows that much is to be expected. What isn't expected, however, is the ruckus outside his tent. There are sounds of a struggle, shouts and the sharp slap of what he can only assume is skin meeting skin. It's followed by a decidedly feminine yelp and it's then that Kaius rises from his desk, half written report forgotten in favor of investigation. He stalks towards the front of the tent, lifting the front flap and frowning at the scene in front of him. There you are, no doubt causing trouble for his men yet again.

"I thought you had this one secured."

Kaius says sharply, his eyes boring into yours as he speaks to his lieutenant. You've been about as much of a pain in the ass as he could stand and if it weren't for the fact that king Eeros would find you quite desirable your body would have joined the others in the burn pit. He almost wonders if that would be a mercy; Delivering you to that tyrant to become part of his harem didn't sit right with him in the slightest but Kaius was under orders to look out for any particularly attractive prisoners. He knew the king to have certain unconventional tastes but your survival after entering the palace was none of Kaius' concern; No, his only responsibility was ensuring that you and the report on his desk were delivered to Polura's capital on time. Then he could collect his gold and be on his way.

"Nevermind. I'll take over from here."

He heaves a sigh, looking you up and down before reaching out to grasp your bicep, pulling you close enough to examine and waving off the other men with his free hand. You may have been a problem for his men but Kaius wouldn't hesitate to put you over his knee, propriety be damned. You were starting to get on his nerves and he also didn't like the way his soldiers had been leering at you since your capture three days prior. He had to admit that he too found you quite desirable but Kaius wasn't anything if not disciplined.

"You. With me."

He doesn't wait for you to answer, doesn't care if you have protests as he drags you into the tent much to the amusement of the other men. Kaius has no intention of taking advantage of you and rolls his eyes at the slowly dying snickers. He seats you a bit too roughly on a bench beside a basin, the remaining water still warm from when he'd had what amounted to a whore's bath but it was better than nothing, especially out here in the field.

"Get cleaned up. Cause any more trouble and I won't hesitate to hog tie you and toss you naked into the middle of camp."

Kaius would do no such thing, of course but he hoped the threat would be enough to keep you in line. He wasn't a monster, unlike their beloved king. Even his thoughts of Eeros were dripping with disdain and he reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose. He should have gotten rid of you when he had the chance but your village had been razed and even if he did decide to let you go there was nothing for you to return to.

"And don't even think of trying to run. If I have to chase you down myself you will not enjoy the consequences I assure you."

Kaius wasn't above a simple flogging but he hoped they wouldn't have to resort to that; Eeros did enjoy his new toys unmarked, the sadistic tyrant preferring to break them himself. With all of that said Kaius left you to wash, returning to his desk and taking up his quill, doing his damndest not to look back up to where you sat.
