They know who their individual mother is, but they're ALL Mothers Concubines spell a new girl into compliance when it comes time for her to be sent off. Celebration dance. All pulled into the joy. Zarissa could overcome willpower, make them pliable and willing. “Please don’t make her,” Delfi gasped. “Please don’t make her dance. It’s making her sad.” More angry words. Sharp and piercing like the needles that made the maruste come. Then the woman’s face softened and set one hand on Delfi’s head. “I know little one. But she will enjoy the dancing. It will be a nice memory, in everything that comes after.” …. And she watched as Jiafi came into the circle around Chethalin. The quiet sobbing stopped. The last of the tears dried up. A brilliant smile, so wide that Delfi thought it might break the older girl’s face in half, lit up the room. … After another bow to Zarissa, who nodded slightly, the men turned, took Jiafi by the elbows. She went willingly, if not easily. She was still stumbling; and that was blood she was leaving on the floor behind her. Delfi shuddered and cringed, reaching to feel past the block that was her headpiece. Jiafi’s face was happy. Her mind was blank. Head concubine, Zarrissa had voice with 'silky' feel to it when making someone do what she wanted. Touching the women and children of the Churus lis Kuchruis without good reason was punishable by…very bad things was all Delfi knew. If they could avoid it, they would.
