Greetings Masters, Mistresses and slaves...

For the girls...

As I read through some of the posts in other threads, seeing temper rise among the free a thought crossed my mind. If this were in Masters living room, a circle of men growing agitated, my first thought would be to do something, ANYTHING, to help calm the moods. Begging to serve coffee, refreshements, perhaps just to be allowed at their feet giving a soothing massage to ease the tension.

If that doesn't work, hide in the kitchen. I was curious how others deal with a tense master, or maybe more then one. Do you remain quiet and non obtrusive, or speak in hushed tones while begging to offer them some comfort? Have there been times when you were sent out of the room due to your begging? Maybe even received punishment?

Since this is a varied bunch and each man will wish his property to respond to situations differently, I hope some will share past experiences, good and bad. What works and what flopped.

Wishing all a stress free weekend :)

When things become tense around our household, the servants (and saplings) often find that being "invisible" serves them well. We tell them, and they soon see it confirmed, that silent service, including making sure beverages are filled and that food is available (especially because if it's been too long since a couple of us have eaten, irritability increases), and then staying out of the line of fire is the best possible recourse. Once things have settled down, an offer of a bath, massage, foot rub, or cup of tea, handled discretely and without a sense of pleading or simpering or fawning (which can re-irritated us when we've finally calmed down) is often enough to increase the comfort zone and get the household back into a state of relaxation.

If a particular servant finds him or herself consistently agitated by our squabbles or passionate discussions, that servant is usually "excused" to someplace where he or she will be away from the intensity of the situation, since having someone fluttering and skittish will only annoy us.

Also, we -discuss- our tendency to intense, passionate, and sometimes outright argumentative discussions up front... we don't leave it for a servant to try to struggle through without warning.

Greetings lisa,

my first thought would be, where can I hide! If it is a group of Free Men having a heated argument in the living room it is absolutely none of my business and the Owner would snap his fingers or signal if I was needed for anything.

on the other hand if it is the Owner who is tense I gauge his mood. If he seems like he wants to talk I become an attentive listener and ask encouraging questions. If he wants to zone out by playing a computer game I remove his boots, bring him refreshment and shut the door , giving him peace and privay from the household.

the only punishment I have received over something of this nature is getting a firm swat for telling him knock knock jokes in a lame attempt to make him laugh

I have quite a repretoire if any are in need of this service

well wishes
kisshou

PS : as for stress free we should be boogey boarding and baking on the beach tommorrow :)

It is not unusual for men to sit quietly amongst themselves and brood.........
...you are impassionate...

It is not unusual for men to argue vociferously amongst other men...
...you are violent...

Perhaps ... (how many times was that the end of a conversation in the books? Why?)

or DIDO....."White flag" is better yet.

That is why you may wear bells, be chained or

Master does not tend to socialize with men who would grow agitated enough over a conversation to need "soothing". His friends and associates do not agree on everything (ha!), but they all seem able to disagree strenuously and even passionately without temper becoming an issue. There is a level of self assurance and respect for others present in each of them which keeps things from degenerating into a tense situation. If such a situation were to arise, perhaps in someone else's home, the first response would be to "hide" at Master's feet... or follow Him outside when He decided that He hears enough bickering and namecalling from the children. =)

From the dark depths of a hibernation cave, these words echo as they bounce of walls through passage ways to rumble into the open air......

"A Man may with impunity agree to disagree with another with no loss of Honour to either party. He is a Wise Man

A Man may argue his case passionately with another Man and even argue himself onto a corner leaving no room to save Honour when he is proved wrong. He is not a Wise Man but a Foolish Man".

Good morning lisa,
I thought about this one alot before i posted. The reality of it here in Master's house is: it would never happen. Thorns would never have a heated/agitated discussion in His home. The reason i state this is, this is a safe place for not only Him, but for me. This is the only place i truly feel safe, a place that i do not always have to be on guard. There was at one point much drama going on in this house...I used to have to retreat to my own room to get away, to stay out of stuff going on, to remove myself from Master....He finally said, enough is enough. Thorns vowed it would "never" happen again.
If there was some sort of agitation between a group of men here that arose, i believe that Thorns would move the group......or discuss it at another time. If i get the luxury of speaking with Him tonight, i will read this to Him and ask for mor information. Thanks for the post, it made me pause and think.

Happy Saturday!

~smilezz~
