Thank you so much for your very kind con crit. I'm glad you enjoyed my story!
I would have liked to include more on the background characters, but the story was so slight that I was worried about overloading it with too many details. This particular shop is actually in front of the owner's house, which is why the owner walks past it everyday. The boy slaves live in the domus, in the owner's household. I think they have been in training and will soon be sent off to other shops in this retail empire.
All slaves are theoretically able to be freed, although not all are offered it or take up the offer. A good owner will make sure his or her pleasure slaves have training to support themselves; not all owners are good.
Your feedback has been very encouraging with regard to world building and point of view reactions. Thank you.
