Silvia blinked.
Then she opened her mouth, and when nothing came out, she closed it again.
And blinked.
"But," she said and closed her mouth again. Blink....Blink.
Webb just sat there and smiled at Silvia, knowing what must be going though her head. I've hit her with something stronger than that paddle she hates soooo much, Webb smiled more as that thought ran through her own head. Then she reached up a hand and patted Silvia on the head. "Breathe child. Just Breathe. Process it like your tenth paddle hit."
Silvia's eyes widened. Then she sat back on her haunches and put her hands on her knees. Her breathing deepened, as she took in air through her nose and held it, then expelled it through her mouth. Letting her eyes return to their normal size and hoping the color returned to her face, Silvia felt the calm return to her.
"Thank you for the lesson, Mistress. But.....I have questions"
Webb leaned back in her chair and grinned. "I am sure you do, child. Ask what you must, but time is short, as the ceremony will begin shortly. " Webb spoke as she slipped off her right shoe and put her foot on Silvia's knee.
Silvia looked down and moved her hands to massage the foot. She was glad to have something to do while she formed her words. Using her thumbs to massage the ball of the foot, She let her fingers follow the old routine of feeling the tendons to the toes. "But how can I own part of Sötëria? All the Elders are Dom. There has never been a sub or slave or anything else at the Table." She said concentrating on the Webb's foot.
"I know child, " Webb replied, "When the four of us started this, years ago, all we said was than resources had to be invested. Time, money, energy, love. That was it. No rules were set up as to who could sit at the Table. Or who couldn't. There is no reason you can not join us there."
"But, " Silvia started when she heard the door to Webb's office open. She knew better to to take her attention off the massage, so she waited to hear who had entered. Webb's eyes shifted from Silvia's face to the new person. She saw Asheer standing to the right of the already closed door, waiting for Webb's permission. She nodded her head at them, granting such.
"All is in readiness, Mistress. We are awaiting you and My Lady Silvia, at your convenience." Asheer informed their Mistress.
"Very good, Asheer. Thank you. We will be there presently." Webb dismissed Asheer with another nod and motioned her hand to her shoe while placing her foot on the floor. Silvia held the shoe with one hand while slipping Webb's foot into it. Standing once again, Webb held out a hand to help Silvia to her feet. But Silvia rose to her own feet by herself and took the other woman's hand. Lightly kissing the back of it, she said "Thank your time and explanations, Mistress. You spend way too much time on me"
Webb smiled and shook her head at Silvia, her eyes gleaming in love and, maybe, tears. "Come child, they are waiting for us."
