Ref: The Three Disciplines

Karian, Notes Section 06C

The purpose of the Three Disciplines is to give both structure and understanding to the kajire of what level of behavior is expected of the kajira, at all times. Additionally, it gives the Master or Mistress a clear way to convey what is expected from the kajir. Note that where a behavior may not be required it is usually still permitted and often appreciated. At all times, in all disciplines, a kajir is expected to be pleasing to his/her Master/Mistress.
