The next morning

Garrett extricated himself from Dale’s embrace, dressed and departed his bedchamber. He went to the castle hall for a breakfast of porridge and mead then ascended the stairs to Lord Al’s chamber. He knocked politely. “Enter!” Lord Al called.

Garrett entered to see Lord Al at his writing desk reviewing a pile of documents. Kneeling in slave silks at his feet was the tiny Pria. She was by far the most fetching slavegirl in the keep.

“Ah Garrett. Good morning. I have the swapping device here. I think it best that we put it on Pria now. It bonds undetectably with the skin and is activated by applying pressure five times. Once activated you meeely need to remain in constant contact for ten minutes to swap with your target. The device can be removed by applying pressure ten times. Given you may be restrained I think it best to put the swapping device in a location where you can activate it without using your hands. Your chin perhaps. You could press your chin against the slave rail or your neck…” he placed the swapper on her chin and pressed on its face ten times. The device grew opaque then vanished.

Garrett nodded. He hadn’t considered that he would be restrained in Pria’s body. Lord all pressed on Pria’s chin five times and stepped back gingerly. “Now the swapping device is primed. I need you to acclimatise to her body and… her mentality,” Lord Al said gingerly.

“Uh, yes my lord,” Garrett agreed.

“Feel free to fuck her but know that you will need to clean her - ah sorry your new body if you do…” lord Al grinned.

“My lord? I, um, I think not.” Garrett said.

Lord Al opened his drawer and produced manacles. “Well, I will leave you and return with Seneschal Voth in ten minutes. Restrain your body with these so Pria does not try to flee with it. I will instruct Voth to escort you to the slave pens where you will await tonight’s festivities. I will command Voth to keep you inviolate in anticipation of serving the visiting Lord Drask. You must captivate Lord Drask’s attention…” lord Al said.

Garrett regarded the manacles. He felt small and uncertain. “Very well my lord.”

Lord Al nodded and departed leaving Garrett with Pria.
