Rodolphus obeyed, leaving Rabastan and Kavita alone in the bedroom.
Rabastan sighed and turned to face Kavita. Kavita looked down at the floor.
"Are you alright my dear?"
Kavita ignored him. Rabastan walked closer to her and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Are you alright?"
Kavita nodded.
"Look at me and tell me your alright."
She shook her head.
"Exactly. Because you're not alright."
She shrugged.
"Come here." he said gently, pulling her into an embrace.
Kavita relaxed slightly but didn't allow her self to cry.
"Shh. I gotch ya. Your safe." he said,rubbing soothing circles on her back.
Kavita nodded and pulled away from him slightly. He tilted her chin up so he could see her. "Little better?" She nodded. "Come with me." He took her elbow gently and they started out of the room.
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to my room."
Kavita froze.
Rabastan turned to face her. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"We're going to you bedroom?"
Rabastan sighed, finally understanding why she was scared. "Don't worry. I'll leave the door open. And you don't even have to go anywhere near the bed."
"Alright."
He smiled, kissing the top of her head. "Come." he said and with that they walked to his room.
Once in h is room, Rabastan started a fire in the stone fireplace and took off his shirt. "Make yourself comfortable my dear."
Kavita sat in one of the high-backed chairs in front of the newly conjured fire.
"Master?" she asked hesitantly.
"Yes?"
"Can we play a game of chess?"
"Of course. The is a chess board in the top drawer on the left hand side of the desk over in the corner."
Kavita got up and got the chess board.
"Do you know how to set it up?"
She shook her head.
"See what you can remember and I'll correct you."
Kavita set up the board only misplacing the knight and tower and the king and queen. Rabastan went easy on her and helped her with moving the pieces.
"Already better than earlier."
"How do you know?"
"Bellatrix told me."
She nodded in understanding.
"When was the last time you took an actual bath?"
"Um..Tow or three days ago maybe. I don't know what they did while I was sleeping."
"And when you say sleeping you mean after you fell into the fire-place ad hit your head off of the stone."
"Yeah."
"Check."
"Check mate." she countered.
He smiled. "Nice move."
"Thank you." she said giving him h is pieces back..
Rabastan stood. "Come. Perhaps you'll feel better after a nice long hot bath."
"But..."
"Shhh. You're alright." he said getting down on one knee so that they were eye level. "If it makes you feel better, you may hold my wand if you wish."
She nodded.
Rabastan pulled out his wand and handed it to her. Kavita took it cautiously. Rabastan stood up and kissed the top of her head. "Come." He turned towards the bathroom and walked towards the door Kavita took a deep breath and followed him.
Rabastan started to run the water.
"Alright," he said facing Kavita, "arms up."
"I can undress myself."
"I am your master. If I wish to undress you I will." he said softly.
"You don't need to remind me, and I said I can undress myself."
Rabastan sighed and positioned himself behind her. "Perhaps it's time for you to start learning what it means to be a slave." he said caressing her arms gently
