Speech Training 7: Negative Answers

Author: Norische

Filed in: training, speech



When a slave gives a negative answer he or she can again be as simple or as elaborate as the Owner wishes. Saying "no" can be done is a vast array of different ways.

Some Owners do not allow their slave to use the word "no" or to even have the word in their vocabulary.

For example if the Owner asked: Are you hungry?

If the Owner prefers the slave to use a third person point of view�
"This slave is not hungry, Master."
"Sir, Your slave is not hungry, Sir."

If the Owner prefers something a little more formal, the slave may respond with�
"Sir, not unless you wish it, Sir"

If the Owner prefers something a little more Military or Absolute�
"Sir, No, Sir"

An example of a more elaborate negative answer would be that of the Asian style�
"Gracious Master, Thank you most humbly for your concern for this worthless creatures welfare. If it would please my most esteemed Master, this worthless creature does not require sustenance at this time, but if my most Honorable Master wishes it I would be honored to serve in some other meaningless manner."

And of course the silent casting down of eyes or the gentle shake of a head to indicate a negative response is always acceptable.

The slave must remember that even when stating the simplest statements he or she is still a slave; hence "nope�" or other such familiarities are inappropriate unless of course that is the preference of the Owner.

When responding to a command or order in a negative manner, again one must follow the preference of the Owner; however, my preferences are�

"No thank you, Ma'am"
"Not at this time, Ma'am"
"Unfortunately no, Ma'am"
and of course a simple "No Ma'am"

I like my answers to be short and simple, I know that some prefer long and drawn out statements but personally my time is more valuable.

What is rarely understood is that speech is a privilege not a necessity; a simple shake of the head is all that is truly necessary to make a complete and well-understood affirmation.

Keep in mind that when you forget the simple courtesies, the privilege of speech may easily be withdrawn until one learns how to properly state even the most basic things.
