OK so tweak it- I own a slave. For whatever reason, my priorities change. Or perhaps their priorities change. Or perhaps some yucky bad disaster happens. They are no longer the best fit to serve me. The slave still wants to serve, but is unable to do so, through no fault of mine or theirs. Giving the slave away, trading, or selling them is a perfectly viable option and in fact might be the best course for everyone involved. If your prioritys change..if they are your slave then your prioritys become their prioritys as well and you teach them. If your talking about it going against initial limits they had..um well then guess that would fall under "them no longer wanting to serve you" because you renigged on your initial commitment of honor. If it's just you want more, and has nothing to do with their initial limit agreements with you..then it still goes one way or the other..they want and desire to serve you still, or they do not. This still falls under what I said of it being logical and acceptable of being sold or traded if the slave is no longer wanting to serve. If their prioritys change..then as your slave, if that change does not coincide with your willing to address them..then again, this would fall under "them no longer wanting to serve" you if they can not accept your ruling. If the Owner has that little of value to place on a slave that they make that important of a commitment to Own in the first place as to dump them somewhere else because they lost an arm or leg due to a no fault of theirs or yours in an accident, and the Owner is that shallow and unimaginative to have given value to that slave to find alternate ways to allow them to continue serving..well imho it just doesn't say much about the Owners character. Not much of a Master if they have a slave in service that can no longer perform a certain service but can do many other things, and is very willing and wanting to do so, if they just toss them aside because another slave came along that can perform that one service. Again though, if the slave knows they have no real value to begin with before entering into this ..then thats all that counts. I think it just is different as we seem to see what the idea of "serving" entails. starshine Happy slave of Master Delvin
