As slaves, it is your duty to apply skill and imagination to this facet of your Master's and/or Mistress' appetite with the same enthusiasm with which you satisfy his/her other needs. Remember, be create and make them see what it is that you are doing. If you are just going through the motions they will notice that as well. So relax and enjoy - Slaves bring great honor to their Masters/Mistress' by showing just how talented they are.

Greeting: When interesting a the House or Inn, greet the Masters and Mistress' that are present, then you may greet the other slaves. Then look about and see if any of them are being service. Always remember, regardless of who your Master/Mistress is, there is an order to how you serve those within the House. Always greet and serve the Master's first, starting with your own and then move to serve the Mistress' of the House, always starting with your own.

Acknowledge: Approach the Master/Mistress, kneel before them and ask if you can be of service to them. Thank them for their order, and your desire to serve it;

Go: Back up three paces, turn and head to serving area;

Container: Choose the appropriate receptacle for the drink;

Wipe: This is not necessary if you are within the House or the Inn. It is rude to do such in these two places as the drinking vessels are always clean. If you are serving someone from the house elsewhere, wipe the drinking vessel clean, preferably with your clean hair or silks. If you are a male slave, fetch a clean rep clothe and wipe the vessel clean;

Fill: Fill the container with the beverage, make note if it is a hot or cold drink and if there is any fruit or spices or anything that need to be added to the drink;

Return: Return to the Master/Mistress;

Kneel: Nadu/Tower. If serving a Mistress do not spread thighs too wide (unless kajirus);

Pre-Present: Bring the container to bara (belly) and then offer to test. You need not offer to test if you are in our House or in our Inn for we know nothing is poisoned. To test, you cup your palm and lap up the drink from your hand and pause. If it is poisoned you will know. Offer to sweeten. This is not necessary if you are serving the same sex. Raise the vessel to your lips for kiss of submission just under the rim;

Present: Offer the drink forth between your hands, your arms extended out and up. Your head bowed down between them;

Speak: Tell the Master/Mistress what you have brought and the pleasure it brought you to serve them.

Departure: Do not leave until you have been dismissed.

**Important Note**

Do not greet or speak to any other's (Masters/Mistress'/brother's or sister's) while serving a particular individual. They, as well as the task at hand, deserve your full attention.
