Tao nervously blustered on, ‘He’s not well, I’m afraid Sir. Not leaving the house anytime soon so… I’ll be delivering the honey for now. I… I hope that will be acceptable for you and your Master…’

‘I am,’ he said, surprised this important slave remembered his name. ‘You received the note from my Pa then?’

Tao’s father had been providing Potiphar’s estate with the finest honey for over twenty years. He always delivered it by hand himself to their most important customer. But now he was ill.

Tao had been walking round Potiphar's estate for a good 10 minutes, marvelling at the incredible wealth on display. He was not a rich man, wearing simple burlap garments. Finally, he stumbled on a man.

'Excuse me, Sir? I'm looking for the Leader of the Household? Yosef?'

Zuli screamed out "No! No you can't!"

He fell to his knees, clawing at his husband's hands, but to no avail.

His eyes went wide with panic, snapping to look at Yosef.

"W-what have you done?"

He ran into Potiphar's quarters, expecting to see his husband with lustful eyes, but instead finding two men glaring at him.

"Oh... hello?"

"Oh good!" he purred. "Not now... So later then."

He ran his finger down Yosef's arm and made his leave.

"Enjoy your work!" he called out as he walked back up the stairs out of the cellar, not looking back.

"Bless you..." he said with a grin. "First time in the dance of flirtation?"

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 9

Zuli tutted.

"Yosef? Please don't make me sad... You'll have me thinking you think me an ugly monster!"

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 9

“Of course!” he said amiably, standing to go. “Don’t want to stop you from your work.”

“But just so you know… When someone says that you’re attractive, the polite thing is to say ‘Thanks! So are you.’ Otherwise you might hurt their feelings…”

"Being as handsome as you are helps, of course," he said candidly with a soft smile. "People like attractive people. Forgive them for silly things like running away or... nearly breaking your nose..."

"You are *fascinating* to me, Yosef... The 'runaway who still manages to become his Master's favourite'... Incredible."

“Is that something learnt from experience?” he chuckled.

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 7

“Why not?”

“I suppose you’re more obedient than you first appeared yesterday then… A less willing slave could have taken as much money as he needed and run away with such access to his Master’s coin bag.”

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 7

“Placing orders?” he asked, impressed. “You have charge to spend from my husband’s purse as you wish?”

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 7

“Oh?” he said with a smile. “What’s on your list to do today?”

1

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 7

“That’s in the past now at least. I hope we… understand one another better now? So I’ll be kinder, and you’ll be less aggressive and… everyone will be happy.”

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 6

"Because of yesterday? I'm sorry... It's my fault for riling you up."

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 5

“Go on?” he implored. “I want to hear!”

1

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 5

“Really? I thought you were the man who could do no wrong in his eyes…”

1

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 5

Lots of old men looked at him like that. With lust in their eyes.

“Yes… But I also saw the way he looked at me when he found out I’d upset you. That wasn’t a look of happiness, I promise you. He was… disappointed in me.”

1

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 5

“You do?? What makes you say that?”

1

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 5

“What does he like? How can I make him happy? You’ve known him a lot longer than I have…”

Tao (RP/Parody) @bigsweetguy.bsky.social · Jun 5

“Alright,” he shrugged, able to understand why someone might not instantly share their trauma.

“Can I ask you another question then? About my husband?”
