Lenne Fayth
Slave
The slave auction. Lenne knew this set up quite well. She'd been to auction more times than she could ever count, sold for more credits than she would ever see. A slave never owned credits. Lenne had never even held a credit chip in her life. Her various Masters had never trusted her with the responsibility. Not that Lenne would ever even think about stealing from one of the Masters. She remembered the last whipping she got the last time one even accused her of stealing.
She remembered what it was too. A gold comb. Her Master, some highborn Lady, had misplaced it. But of course, Lenne could never point this out to a Master. She'd been accused of theft and promptly beaten for it when she could not tell where it had been. It was two days later that the Lady discovered it misplaced under one of her gowns.
Lenne had scars on her back from that whipping now, and a chipped horn. It had brought her worth down considerably.
She stood on the auction podium as her old Master spoke about her worth, her skills.
Cooking and cleaning, he said, Childcare, personal grooming...
As well as some other things that made the Zabrak slave blush a rather unhealthy shade of burgandy. But such was life. She was property in every sense of the word.
"We will start the bidding at seven thousand credits."
Lenne blinked. Seven thousand? That was less than half of what they'd started on for her the last time she was auctioned off. Was she truly worth so little now because of a chipped horn and a few scars?
