we've got innocence for days (джен)

Dove has belonged to Master Beren for some time now, after being given to the man as a gift and, miraculously, not thrown away again even when Beren expressed that he had no need or want for a young brothel slave. He's beginning to trust the kindness that Beren shows him, and truly believe that this house might be safer than anywhere else.
He gathers his courage to ask Beren to buy Fox--his friend and one-time protector, a fellow slave at the brothel. Beren brings a second boy into his home--a deeply suspicious, frightened boy who's absolutely certain that this apparent kindness and safety isn't going to last.
