"Eat" The Visir commanded with a soft voice.
"Achoo? Huh? This name will do as any." he said.
He also poured an elven wine, into pair of golden overly gem decorated goblets.
It was big honor for a slave to be served by his master- especialy an important person such as the right hand of the Sultan!
It meant a lot. Master and slave relationship had many shades, despite what some might believe.
Some masters treat their slaves as useful animals or furniture. They should bring use and remain silent. The idea slave for such masters were golem- whom of.course, were too rare to be merchandise.
Sometimes, lucky slaves (especialy bed slaves) got.treated as pets, with warmth and some limited love.

The visir by serving Achoo gave him the most respected status, a slave could wish for, beside freedom- a trust and respect as person.
This means he wish to base their relationship on loyalty. This means, Achoo may speak without being asked to,(even if with propper respect) and with potential to turn into some kind of friend. Getting whipped, would mean he has lost this status.
He have gained a lot- but now he got something to lose.
