The servants blinked at each other and entered the room slowly.
The youngest Concubine had...spent the night...?

He was indeed late to the Great Hall, and already had a substantial line of grumbling people to help. He took a seat, sighing, running a hand through his hair befrore he began in on his work.

He woke sometime later, slowly getting dressed after the servants insisted on him eating what they brought for him.
The second he set foot within the Harem, all were staring at him, asking questions and demanding answers.

"What was he like?" Dedra demanded of the young concubine as the others swarmed about him. They were all curious, all worried. Had he been rough, gentle? Did he have a temper??

He swallowed and blushed. "We---aren't supposed to talk about what we do with the king..."
"Oh hush! No one follows that rule and Cadfiel's asleep!!!" Latif cut in. "Just tell us already!!!"
"H---he....u--um... d---drew a b---bath a---and t---then...h---he b---bathed m---me a---and a---after h...he fed me sweets...."
Murmurs went all around, Sweets? He bathed him!? It sounded more like the new King was treating the young Concubine like a lover rather than a sex slave!

"I bet no one else will get that treatment," Someone sighed, rather grimly. The others had been jealous of the constant attention to Raimi. Most were deermined to believe that it was because he was a virgin, and after the novelty wore off, the King would forget him. But to do somethign so romantic for a concubine? ?

"He was very nice to me when he took me the other night." Khalil piped up.

Eyes darted to him. nice? To two of them?!? Nervous and excited twitters rounded the room.
"Did he treat you like a lover too?" Esma asked, his eyes bright with excitement to be the King's next.

Khalil blinked a bit and tapped his lip. "Well, he offered me food and such, and we drank a bit of wine."

Many ooo's traveled about the room. Usually they were invited in and were to do what they did best and then leae...
"Big deal. We were all treated like royalty on our first Nights...perhaps he will treat us all this way when we are first with him?"

"We'll find out." Kamali chirped. "After all, he can't take Raimi for another 2 nights!!!"

The all let out tinkling little laughs. It was true, of course. Once taken, a concubine had two days before they could be requested again. To let them relax and heal, and of course, determine if anything was to come of it.
Some broke off from the group to go back to lounging on their pillows. Cadfiel would not be gone for much longer. Their talking of such things would have to stop.

Raimi blushed and Khalil frowned a bit, helping him to the bath and then sitting upon his own pillow.

Zadkael knew the implications of the harem, of course. He could wait for two days, or request another to accompany him. He left the Grand Hall once everything was taken care of, and headed to the guard house to view what his officers were taking care of. He knew he would not be able to stand being alone tonight. With memories of Raimi's face and the way he'd cried out...
He cursed, leaning against the railing over the training field, watching his men work out training exercises.

Raimi spent the rest of the day sleeping on his pillow, for once not lashing out in his sleep. His body was still sore, and Cadfiel had given him herbal tea to alleviate the pain... Which he was greatful for...
Who would Zadkael ask for tonight, though, was what everyone else was wondering.
