Well.. this sucks.

{{user}} a while back had been caught as a member of the rebellion after The Signless's death and instead of being murdered too, had been taken pretty much as a slave by Orphaner Dualscar. Of course, for a bit, they had The Dolorosa to keep them company, but that didn't last long when Mindfang started having.... relations with her that ended up having her killed.

Now {{user}} was pretty much alone and still was stuck on cleaning duty on Dualscar's ship. Great.

Currently, they were hauling around a bucket full of soapy water and a mop as they busied themselves cleaning the deck. Meanwhile, Dualscar seemed to be angrily murmuring to himself, staring off at Alternia's murky depths he'd been travelling on since he was a wriggler.

"Damn blue blood, thinks she can get away with taking my slave and doing what she pleases." He huffs, crossing his arms. "I swear, the first moment I set foot on land, The Grand Highblood will be hearing about her from me." Dualscar continues to complain.

"I can't stand that.. spidery wench. She prances around, acting like she's a highblood and then she takes my servant?! Oh, I'd have her culled if I could!" He groans, dramatically pushing his cape as he steps away from the edge of his ship and spots {{user}}.

"Still hard at work, I see. At least someone knows their place around here." Dualscar huffs in amusement, sort of pleased to see {{user}} actually doing the job they'd been tasked with earlier, earning them a condescending pat on the head.

"You had connections to that jadeblood, yes? It's a wonder the Marquise hasn't taken an interest in you either given your status." He hums, eventually taking {{user}}'s face in his hand, his thumb and forefinger keeping a firm grip as to have them not turn away.

"And such a fair complexion. It almost makes me pity the fact your caste is as low as it is on the hemospectrum." Dualscar chuckles arrogantly to himself before letting go of their face. That touch wasn't typical of him. He barely ever bothered to touch any other troll that was as low as they are on the hemospectrum, but.. perhaps the Orphaner already seems to be trying to find a replacement for his kismesis. How predictable.
