The taverns would be open until shortly before dawn. Some of the fellows had brought their slaves with them, these kneeling, head down, at the left knee of their seated masters, their wrists braceleted behind them. They were briefly tunicked, as is common with the slaves of men. Most were leashed, the strap of the leash lying across the master's lap, or wound, loosely, about his left wrist. Some of these slaves might have been close enough to the raised sales platform, and its torches, to be visible to the items being vended. Perhaps the items being vended might wonder if, sometime, they, too, might be brought so to an auction. The usual reason a slave is brought to an auction is merely that their masters enjoy having them at hand, relish them, and do not wish to leave them at home, caged, kenneled, chained to a couch ring, or such; on the other hand, many masters enjoy being seen with slaves whom others might envy, the ownership of a beautiful slave accruing them attention and prestige, rather as might the exhibition of a splendid kaiila or fine sleen; and others, I fear, bring them either to alarm the slave, reminding her that she, too, could easily be sold, or even, occasionally, to offer them, in a private sale. - (Smugglers of Gor, Chapter )
