"Exactly." Meira confirmed Rilina's explanation of the situation to Thane as she closed the stocks snugly around the slavegirl's ankles. Rilina was still seated on the same chair, her legs horizontal as they were trapped in the wooden stocks. Picking out a long feather from the box, Meira continued, "You will join in, right Thane?"
While waiting for Thane to reply, Meira had already started working on Rilina's soles, drawing circles on her arches with the soft end of the feather. She had to start slowly, gradually speeding up and letting the feather glide over the girl's toes as well as her heel, alternating between her two feet.
