One of the two scratches forms a mixed neurotoxin, so the one who has the poison will not be the other's partner. This means that the other person will die of the poison. The slave tells the master that the mark is on the waist, but it is now on the leg, so he tried to avoid touching it. The master tells him that it means that he took him away from his partner, and that he should take him back. He tells the slave that he is a female fish, and the mark will circulate in his blood faster if he faints. He says that he does not mean to be his partner. He asks the master to leave the mark on his waist so that it will not count, but the master says that it would be better if he left it on his leg. He goes to bring the master some herbs, but he is reluctant to let him touch him.
