Sometimes things just creep up on you and that is what happened to matan yesterday when he became overcome with tiredness and needed to rest in his kennel and lay down on the floor and just slept and slept for hours. A whole day must have passed before he awoke. A tired slave is certainly not a good slave and hopefully the rest will give matan a much needed chance to recharge his batteries so to speak and give him that attentive edge that has been missing from his behavior recently. Not that that is an excuse of course but it doesn’t help. He can do better and he will, especially where his Mistress is concerned. Meanwhile he hopes that jewel is ok as it has been a while since he has seen the first girl of the Inn which just isn’t the same place without her glowing presence.
