Edona's desperation

All the chores were done for the day without Ari's help. Because she was ordered to follow Ardit, she was told that she didn't have to work today, but in order to stay on the good side of the slaves, Ari decided to help out regardless. She didn't want to make any enemies with the other servants. Still, not everyone was happy about this as Edona comes up to her with her disapproval.

"So you were invited by Ardit, weren't you Ari?"

"I had no choice. He told me to come with him. I'm sorry I couldn't help in the kitchen."

"Yes, that's right. Because of your departure, we had to switch the schedule around. I was supposed to tend the garden today, but they put me on kitchen duty. I hate kitchen duty. Washing dishes wrinkles my beautiful hands."

"I had no choice. I had to follow Ardit."

"Ardit? That's master to you. Imagine if he finds out if you called him by his name."

"He's given me permission. I can call him Ardit anytime I want."

"What? Impossible. Not even I have that honor."
