𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐘 / 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋.

Question, how long did it take your Master to break you in so well? I’m curious.

I’ve had the privilege of serving my Master for the last 15 years, Sir, though it didn’t take him nearly that long to train me. Probably no more than a couple of weeks if I had to estimate. Master’s very good at what he does — not to mention his species is known for their powers of persuasion.

And… on what is it then? What am I even supposed to learn from this? I- I just… I don’t think this is the place for me, Miss Eliza. Please, just let me go, I promise I won’t tell anyone what happened… I just want to go home.

Why, you’re going to learn the most important lesson a slave can: how to be of service to a Master — which can’t happen if I let you go, now can it? As for going home... you are home, Alessa. It might not feel like it right now, but it will. Master Nathaniel and I are the only family you need. Nobody can love you, protect you, and help you grow as a person like we can. 

Miss… I- I’m sorry but I don’t think I understand what is going on here. I just wanted to get an education. I think I might be in the wrong place.

There’s no need to call me Miss, darling; we share a mark, after all. As for an education, you’ll still be receiving one... just not in the manner or on the subject matter you thought it would be. This is still very much a learning experience, though — as much for my Master and I as it is for you lot.
