Ari versus Ardit

As slaves, they have to obey their masters no matter what. They are not allowed to talk back or disobey them. Under normal circumstances, they would be punished under the discretion of the master. Ardit was no different. It was rare but he had punished slaves before in such a manner. This time, however, he did no such thing for Ari. He didn't like how she yelled at him and he had every right to punish her, but he couldn't. There was something inside of him that was restraining him. He didn't want to lay a hand on her, no matter what. But he could not allow her to simply get away with this. What was he to do, however?

Around this time in the morning, Ari would get ready to start her routines, but she knew that Ardit was waiting for her. She was scared, knowing full well what she did last night would anger him, and perhaps he would punish her now. Regardless of what may come, she decides to confront him. After all, there was something she needed to say.
