Winston wriggled his toes, "Get between my teeooohs!"

There was a slight twitch of Randy's mouth and he took a deep breath, exhaling through flared nostrils before he complied.

Once Winston's feet were properly oiled Winston ordered Randy to pick him up and carry him to his bed, "Can't walk on my feet until they dry!"

Randy grunted in aggravation and disgust, but picked up Winston nonetheless. He heavily considered throwing him as opposed to placing him in the bed, but it would have been much too obvious.

"You spend a lot of time with Alissa for someone of your station," Winston noted, giving Randy a look of suspicion.

"She is a bright young woman and I intend to help her reach her full potential with her studies," Randy replied, distracting himself with his own response as he set Winston down so as not to simply drop him out of frustration.

"I saw her holding your hand when you came back from....where ever you were going, I certainly hope she's not doing anything....inappropriate with you," Winston scowled.

"Certainly not," Randy assured him calmly. "She considers me a friend, just as with the others who work here. It is nothing out of the ordinary."

"Good....I'd hate to think she was a whore," said Winston.

Randy's eyebrow twitched. "Not at all," he answered simply, standing by for further instruction.

"You can geoh! I have no need to talk to peasants," said Winston, "And don't touch Alissa anymore, not a finger!"

Randy's lip curled and he bared his teeth, though by then he'd already turned and begun to walk out of the room. He was tempted to just go up to Alissa and ruffle her hair, but of course that would accomplish absolutely nothing.

Alissa was waiting in his room with his dinner, "Ellen made you something special, it's oyster stew!" she said.

"Oyster..." Randy tried not to look confused as he gave it a sniff. His eyes lit up immediately as he recognized the smell. "Oh, that is bound to be good," he remarked excitedly.

Alissa nodded eagerly, "It's delicious!" she held out a spoonful for him, "Taste it!"

Randy did so and his ears wiggled to signify his approval. "This may be one of the best things I have tasted in quite some time," he confirmed.
