OOC: I'm only doing a joint post because Salia had to leave quickly and I wanted to wrap this convo up. (And for those that don't know, a joint post is one done over a messenger program, such as msn or aim where two people post back and forth. It's not something I encourage, but this was taking far too long)
Edit: bah, left out a colour.
Edit 2: In case you were wondering, the fire is a fire-pit, buried in the ground with banked walls, thereby casting no shadows upon the tent wall. I'm sorry if I didn't make this clear earlier.

Kagarioni nods, giving her a hearfelt smile of thanks, doing what she asks as soon as possible.

Kagarioni softly asks Isokla "Mistress..I have a question to ask you.. you act like a noble. but.. you don't seem to be one. Why?"

Kagarioni looks at her as she speaks, giving her her full attention.

Isokla looked up at Kagarioni, her attention shifting from her thoughts. Her reverie broken, she furled her eyebrow slightly and asked, "Why do you ask that, child?"
Kagarioni looks at Isokla and replies a bit shyly "Well.. you have the manners of one, and you treat people as one.. it's a bit unexpected."

Breaking into a smile, Isokla simply laid a warm hand against Kagarioni's brown hair and gently let her fingers sift through it, in a gentle stroking motion as she replied simply, "Perhaps one day, you'll understand child, that people should be addressed with respect, regardless of class, until they do something to warrent otherwise. Perhaps, you'll catch on and understand whom I respect by how I address them, and whom I do not." With a long sigh, she wrapped her arm around the other girl's shoulder and said simply, "Come here."

With that, she pulled Kagarioni's head to her shoulder and held her gently, "I am sorry if I was harsh with you earlier, child. I hope I did not upset you." she paused, "I have no excuses beyond that I was feeling strained, after being stabbed and all, but even so, I should not have been so short. Forgive me?"

Kagarioni cocks her head as she listens, returning the hug, the same smile still on her face "Of course I forgive you..it was only natural to be strained and short after being stabbed."

"Child," Isokla began slowly, "When I said that 'I own you', I meant it. As far as I'm concerned, you are mine." she smiled to take any edge or sting off her words, although her tone was still gentle, "And because you're mine, I'm going to look after you - regardless of whether you believe you require it or not. Understand?"

For whatever reason, Isokla did not stop stroking the girl's hair, although she did tilt up her chin to look her in the eyes, her own pale blue meeting her bright green. Cupping her hand tenderly around her cheek, the young woman kissed Kagarioni softly on the forehead and whispered, "I hope you can understand that."
