Brothel Tales: Keyla - the way of a dove
One day, Yoriko summoned Keyla to a little and empty hall within the Dovecote.
„I like to call this my dojo … Sometime we use this room for practice, sometimes it’s used for minor events. Well … let’s see, how you move. Imagine, you come into a crowded room. There are plenty of high ranking nobles in there and everyone is staring at you. Now, go out, come in again, and walk a bit up and down.“
Keyla did so, with Yoriko having a critical eye on her.
„Stop … you are afraid of doing wrong, aren’t you?“ Keyla nodded „But, how did you know?“
„It‘s the way you move. Your body says: ‚I don’t want do wrong … I don't want to disappoint Madame!‘ That’s not the way, a courtesan moves. A courtesan doesn’t simply enters a room – she appears in it. She knows, that the eyes of every single person in this room are on her … and she enjoys it. Every move, every step, every gaze … even every breath of a courtesan says: ‚Here I am!‘ – Have a look!“
The dove walked some steps away, then turned around. First, she turned her head toward Keyla, catching the girls eyes with hers. Her body followed her head and with some elegant and very confident steps she approached Keyla, giving her an alluring gaze.
„Moving like a courtesan is not simply moving your body … it’s a state of mind. If you move with grace, you will feel graceful. Keep in mind: You are the dreamwoman of every single person in this crowded room.“
„Well … I’ll try.“ – „Great! At first you have to learn, how to walk … and for doing so, you need these …“ the courtesan gave Keyla a pair of high heels „… and this.“ A book went to the hands of the girl. Keyla opened the book and looked at the front page.
„My journeys through Tulamidistan and how I became the favorite concubine of the sultan???“
„NoNo …“ Yoriko stopped her with a laughter. „Put the heels on and walk this room with the book on your head.“

| If you are looking for some fun or relaxation, the choices are plenty in Gareth. There are tavern wenches which are more than willing to pimp their small salary by spreading their legs for some copper coins. There are, of cause, brothels for every purse. And there are alley cats … dozens of them within the district around the temple of Rahja, maybe hundreds in the whole city. During the day and the early evening you can’t cross the district without getting some very special offers. At nightfall they are getting rarer … and in the late evening you will see only those unlucky few, who didn't get a john. | One day, there was a girl, just a block down the street from The Dovecote. Shy looking, brown hair, a prim and proper dress. She was there in the morning, while our courtesans where still asleep. She was there in evening, while our doves where on escort or otherwise very busy with their clients. Two weeks after the girl first appeared, Yoriko came home late in the evening, after she escorted a high ranked noble to a ball in the palace oft he empress. The streets of Gareth where quiet, all the street whores where gone … with or without a john. But there was this girl standing on the corner … lonely, lost. The dove stopped her carriage. „Good evening my dear.“ Yoriko approached at her „Good evening, Milady.“ was the shy answer. „What are you doing here?“ – „I'm trying to find someone, who want to pay me for … for …“ – „For you being ‚nice‘?“ the girl nodded silently „And … did you find someone?“ – „Sometimes.“ – „But not today.“ The girl nodded again on the dove’s question. „When did you have your last meal?“ – „Yesterday.“ Yoriko raised an eyebrow „I think more like ... the day before yesterday.“ Another nod. The courtesan gave herself a jerk „It doesn’t work like this … but it’s something you may learn. Come with me!“ – „Mylady!“ the girl stopped her „I … I never did it with a woman.“ – „Thats something you have to learn, too. And … I am no lady. I’m Yoriko, the dove. And you are …?“ „Keyla“ |
| Yoriko brought Keyla to the Dovecote. She ordered the maids to give her something to eat and a bed to sleep in. „You may stay here for a while. We will speak tomorrow.“ On the early evening the next day Yoriko summoned the girl to her chamber. „Tell me … what brought you on the streets?“ „I’m a seamstress. I was working for a tailor. He … he has a son and I thought that he loves me. So … I let him into my chamber.“ „Let me guess, the father kicked you out, as he learned about your affair?“ Keyla nodded „And your lover?“ „My … lover??? He laughed about me.“ The dove sighed – this was the same old story. „Look … I don‘t need a seamstress … and we do have more than enough housemaids here in the Dovecote. So, I can't give you a job in the first place." „But …“ Yoriko continued as she saw how hope disappeared from Keylas eyes „… but I can teach everything you need to learn for being a highly respected and sought-after courtesan. This may not be the happy ever after you dreamed about ... but it could be a live, which leads you to something like this" the gesture of the courtesan includes her chamber … and more. „The question is … do you want to be my apprentice?“ „Yes.“ was the shy answer of the girl. „Fine. Show me your body.“ „Milady???“ „As I said: I am no lady. You may call me Madame … or Dame Yoriko. And now ... drop your dress and show me your body.“ Keyla opened her dress and stripped the rest of her clothes. She was clearly uncomfortable as she stood naked in front of the courtesan and tried to hide her private parts with her hands „Okay … here is your first lesson: As a courtesan, you have to be proud of your body. You are gorgeous, so there is nothing to hide. You have to feel, and to behave, as if you are the most beautiful woman on earth.“ she smiled at the girl „Your body is you most valued asset, so have to take care of it. At least a bath every day and lotions to keep your skin smooth. And now, my dear – show me you body.“ Slowly Keyla uncovered her beauty. |
„I like to call this my dojo … Sometime we use this room for practice, sometimes it’s used for minor events. Well … let’s see, how you move. Imagine, you come into a crowded room. There are plenty of high ranking nobles in there and everyone is staring at you. Now, go out, come in again, and walk a bit up and down.“

„My journeys through Tulamidistan and how I became the favorite concubine of the sultan???“
„NoNo …“ Yoriko stopped her with a laughter. „Put the heels on and walk this room with the book on your head.“
