| 27 | 322 | The "slave fires," as it is said, have been lit in our bellies. |
| 27 | 323 | These put us beggingly at the mercy of the brutes, our masters. |
| 27 | 324 | Accordingly, our body language, our glances, the tones of our voice, make it evident, at least to a Gorean, one aware of such things, of our desires, and needs. |
| 27 | 325 | There are many ways of conveying these needs, other than a glance, a seemingly inadvertent touch, and such, many of which are more or less stylized, and some of which involve clearly established conventions. |
| 27 | 326 | One might, for example, linger, almost imperceptibly, in the placing of a plate of food before the master, that he may see our wrists in proximity, almost as though they might be braceleted; one might boldly, if fearfully, kneel a little more closely than is customary; one might, while kneeling, turn the palms of the hands subtly upward, revealing their vulnerable, concave softness, and such. |

| 27 | 328 | For example, there are numerous verbal formulas which may be used, ranging from such things as "May my Master's slave serve him wine?" or "May my Master's slave light the lamp of love?" to such things as "I beg use, Master" and "Please, my Master, rape your slave". |
