Chapter Eight

Raynard ran a critical eye over the dining table one more time. It was set to perfection. If Ori hadn't actually got out a ruler and measured all the arrangements, no one would ever have guessed it. Every piece of silverware shone, every glass sparkled.

If his first forays into it were anything to go by, the more formal rituals of submission and high service were going to suit the submissive very well. More than a few times over the last few days, Raynard had caught sight of a quietly satisfied smile on the duckling's face. After all the grunt work he'd put in making the house fit for habitation, finally getting to play with a bit of sparkle was obviously doing him a world of good.

A smile crept to Raynard's lips too. The simple fact that Ori had managed to do it all without adding to the list of things he'd broken since he came to serve in his master's house, seemed to have done a great deal for his confidence, too.

Raynard looked over his shoulder. Ori stood by the door, his hands folded neatly behind his back, his stance now as perfect as everything else he'd laid out for his master's inspection in the dining room.

The table was set for two, just as the hawk had ordered.

Raynard nodded to the younger man, signaling that he was ready for the food to be served.

The submissive reappeared a minute or two later, ornate silver tray in hand. He'd followed his master's orders when he'd been preparing the food as well, and hadn't panicked himself into trying to produce something that truly fitted the elaborate trimming that graced the table.

The scent of the meal called to Raynard. Not quite as much as the sight of the naked submissive carrying it, but still, it promised him a plate piled high with the kind of simple food he'd discovered the younger man had quite a knack for.

As Raynard took his seat, Ori served the meal to his master, just as the hawk had taught him over the previous few weeks, when the kitchen table had found itself set more and more elaborately every day.

He served the empty chair next to Raynard in much the same way before stepping back to receive his master's criticisms.

Raynard didn't have any to give.

"Leave the tray by the door, and take your seat," Raynard ordered, as they reached the end of the section of the evening's proceedings he'd instructed the submissive in so far.

"Sir?"

Raynard raised an eyebrow at him. "Did you think I'd be eating alone?"

Ori hesitated for another second, before stepping forward and slipping into the seat to Raynard's right. Just because his master had been content to eat with him in the kitchen until that evening, it obviously hadn't occurred to the duckling that they would both migrate to the formal dining room now it was fit for purpose.

"There will be times when the table will be full of guests," Raynard told him. "The Raynards have been a leading family in the area for generations.
