Re: Alice Scott
"Interesting." Laura nodded, putting a hand on the small of Alice's back, and leading her over to someone who looked more official. She slipped on her poker face, a formal town she only used when needing to assert her authority.
"I will be taking this girl." She said, firmly. The man looked a little alarmed.
"I understand you've taken a liking, Miss Hale, if you move through to the main room--"
"No, I don't think you understand." She snapped, her eyes flashing to red. "This slave was property of my Beta. He has now left town. He lived on my property, that makes his slaves, at my choice? My property. Her sale was not sanctioned by me." She turned to Alice, looking at her firmly. The story was a lie, but she didn't want to go into the cattle market that was the main room. "You want to come home with me, don't you?"
