There are many ways available for a slave to serve the Free. The serving of food and drinks is one of them. There is a lot of conflicting and confusing information available on how to serve. Here you will find the basic steps on how to serve using the books as our guide.
Basic Serving Steps-Five Post Serve |
|
- If not already at the feet of the Free, ask to approach.
- Approach and then kneel in either nadu or tower, whichever is appropriate for the Free in question.
- Ask to serve.
"The girl turned and withdrew, then approached again, climbing the stairs, delicately, as though timidly, head down. Then she leaned forward, bending her knees slightly, her body graceful, and spoke, her voice a whisper in my ear, an invitation, “Wine, Master?”
- Repeat the food or drink order back to them. This is to ensure that you heard Them correctly, and so any clarification may be asked, as to hot, cold, first slave, second slave, or choice of vessels. If you dont know what something is, ask. The only stupid question is the one not spoken.
“Serve me wine, Slave,” he said. I gasped.
“Wine, Master?” she asked.
“Yes, Slave,” he said.
- Rise and head for the kitchen. There was no stepping back thrice in the books-that is an online-ism.
"Aphris got up and fetched not a skin, but a bottle, of wine, Ka-la-na wine, from the Ka-la-na orchards of great Ar itself. She also brought a black, red-trimmed wine crater from the isle of Cos.
“May I serve you?” she asked.
Kamchak’s eyes glinted. “Yes,” he said."
"In most taverns no bottle is brought to the table but the paga is brought to the table, by the paga slave, a cup at a time, the cups normally being filled from a vat behind the counter. She filled the cup there, before me, and left it behind."
- Choose the appropriate vessel. There is no need to check the rim. It is an insult to think that we would let them get in a state of disrepair. Wipe the vessel with a clean repcloth, not your hair or anything else.
"Temione had now filled her paga vessel. She picked up a goblet from a rack near the vat. The shelving on the rack was of narrow wooden rods. The goblets are kept upside down on the rods. In this way, washed, they can drain, and dry. This also affords them some protection from dust. I watched her carefully wipe the goblet. Woe to the slave who would dare to serve paga or wine in a dirty goblet!"
- Proceed to get the food, or drink, and prepare anything necessary. Remember to bring the entire service if serving blackwine first slave: white and yellow sugar, bosk milk, and spoons on a tray. Botas were only used for traveling. Most everything is in casks against the wall, so keep that in mind. Ulos are slave knives used in the preparation of food, and they can be used within the proper context.
"She carried a tray, on which were various spoons and sugars. She knelt, placing her tray on the table. With a tiny spoon, its tip no more than a tenth of a hort in diameter, she placed four measures of white sugar, and six of yellow, in the cup; with two stirring spoons, one for the white sugar, another for the yellow, she stirred the beverage after each measure. She then held the cup to the side of her cheek, testing its temperature; Ibn Saran glanced at her; she, looking at him, timidly kissed the side of the cup and placed it before him. Then, her head down, she withdrew. "
- Move back to the Free, and kneel in the appropriate manner. Remember, this is your chance to shine, and to show what you know, so dont just "pad" or "kneel" before them. Make
your Owner proud.
"Quickly, with a tiny sound of bells, and the small sounds of the necklaces and bracelets, the girl reached for the paga goblet. Then, kneeling there before me, her knees widely, piteously, opened, clad in a bit of slave silk, she kissed and licked deferentially, humbly, at the goblet. Then, head down, her arms extended, she proffered it to me."
- Prepare the blackwine, do whatever needs to be
done. Then offer up the food or drink in an appropriate manner. Do not ever touch the rim with your lips. Present the drink by repeating what you have brought.
“Paga, Master?” she asked, kneeling before me, the metal cup held before her, in her two hands.
“Your paga, Master,” she said.
“Your girl brings you drink, Master,” she said.
“Here is your drink, Master,” she said. “I beg to serve you further in any way I may.”
“Do not forget I come with the price of the cup,” she said. “Use me as you will, Master.”
“For your pleasure,” she said, “I bring you paga and a slave.”
“Evelyn tenders drink humbly to Master,” she said. “Evelyn hopes Master will later find her suitable to give him pleasure.”
“I am Evelyn,” she said. “I serve you, naked and collared. Take me later to the alcove. I beg to be taught my slavery.
- When the drink is accepted, lower your hands to your thighs, and wait for further instructions. You will not ask if you can be
released from the serve, as that is rude to the Free that you are
serving. You may ask if you can be of further service if you feel bold.
“You may now serve others,” I said to her.
Basic Serving Steps-Three Post Serve |
|
- Walk to the kitchen
- Get vessel, check it, and then prepare the drink/food
- Return, kneel and offer
Basic Serving Steps-Harta Serve |
|
- Harta implies that the person who has requested the drink does not wish for a long drawn out serve. Harta is the Gorean word for hurry.
- A harta serve is a serve that is compressed to one or two paragraphs.
- Do not confuse Harta Serves with Torvie Style Serves. There are some basic differences.
- The first paragraph should show the girl leaving the feet of the free and preparing the beverage or food and then returning.
- The second paragraph is the offering of the beverage or food.
On Serving in the style of Torvaldsland-Torvie Style Serve |
|
- Sometimes the room may be busy, or there may be more free then slaves in the room. At such times it is more appropriate to serve "Torvie Style" then it is to approach individually and ask to be of service.
- A Torvie Style serve ensures that all Free have the opportunity to be offered the hospitality of beverage and food in the quickest way possible.
- To serve Torvie Style, trays of beverages and food are prepared. Be sure that you state what items are on your tray when you prepare it and each time you approach a Free person.
- Once the tray is prepared, the girl moves through the room, and lowers it in offering. Some may take offense that you do not kneel to do this. If a person is busy and you know their beverage or food preference, then remove the item from the tray and set it close to them.
- If a person asks for an item that is not available on your tray, the tray is handed off to another slave and you rush to fulfill the free persons request. Now is the time to use a Harta Serve.
- Once each person has been offered service, refill the trays and await the indication that a refill is needed. Otherwise, stay busy! There is no need to sit idle on the furs.
- It is appropriate to give your name and offer further service during this style of serve.
"Master, this girl is known as......, please do not hesitate to call upon her if you should desire anything further." ~with a wink she steps away to serve Master....~
- Never interrupt the Free while they are busy. With Harta and Torvie style serves the goal is to not be seen, merely to be of service. Keep your sentences descriptive, but short so as not to fill the room with chatter.

| Special Notes |
|
- During a serve, never speak to anyone. Do not greet, do not
converse with your fellow slaves. Keep your attention upon your
task.
- In some homes it is acceptable to ask if the Free wishes anything
else for them or if you may return to chores or serving others or to
serving furs....but generally this is considered very
disrespectful to ask to be released...you may ask to be of
further service.
- If you use heat, do not be upset if the person you are serving takes you up on your offer. Be prepared to go to an alcove.
- Restricted girls..... remember your restrictions placed on
you.... just because you are restricted does not give you a free
card to use such extreme heat to appear to beg the Free’s sexual
use and then get out of it.
