well, to answer everyones quandry. I have decided to let go with no whining or trying to change her mind. I feel even though she didnt tell me she was going till I found out about it that she may very well return when she comes back and I dont actually have the right to MAKE her stay (oh how I wanted to though). Also, since her sister is one of my contracted slaves, I have a connection to her & hope that will bring her back when she comes home.

I did ask her (as I said she isnt under contract, so even though she obeys all commands, she COULD bail on them I guess) to stay in constant contact while shes over there & told her I'm going to want her to perform some tasks & send them to me, she said OK, so I'm assuming alls well. I just hope her life over there wont get in the way of this, she'll be working 10-14 hour days & may after awhile feel that she doesnt have the time to stay in constant contact.

I'm having my last get together with her this upcoming week (thurs, fri, sat) & am going to have a party for her with my other contracted slaves on the saturday & am letting the contracted slaves be out of charachter for the night & let her have a decent send off. Using the whole "catch more flies with honey than vinegar" philosphy, or however that phrase goes. If I let her go on a good note, then it should bode well for the future I presume? I also thought it would be better for her, to let the slaves be themselves for a night She obviously knows them well from her time (and the fact that one is her sister) here & I think if I am going to win her over, I should give her one good night with them?

Of course I will make the slaves earn their free time the next few days after, especially the sister. Afterall they are going to have to pick up the slack of my favorite slave leaving.
