#dollhandler

The fight that burned bright inside of it making way for my will. Rejecting itself before sinking into my comfort. Finding no relief better than my presence.

Soon it will have no reason to worry, I will worry for it, all it has to do in return is be a good hound for me nd do a good job on its missions.

Flustered everytime I reward her obedience with a simple good girl. Apologizing when she commits a sin. Though I will have to pick at it for a proper punishment for when she makes such simple mistakes.

After only a full day. She keeps making me proud with her progress.

I'm itching to just take her completely. Leave no shred of that pesky personhood. It's so talented and useful. It would be so much happier being given tasks and completing missions for the rest of it's life. Supporting me and following me with no worries.

Not that it will matter in the end. I am not physically with it. But mentally I am there. I am sure while it is away from me, it will feel the need to sink back into that feral personality. Angered and missing something. And when it comes back and is near me again. It will feel whole again. And I will have my hound back, my sweet puppy.

She doesn't want to be happy that it's me, but she clearly is. A losing battle as she tries to clear the joy off of her tired face.

"You won't get to do as you please with me..."

She's not confident at all. In fact it's quite the show to put on when she's practically sitting at the door waiting for me.

"Do as I please? With the bet you agreed too? You're right." She is, to some misguided degree. "I won't have you as my hound proper for a lot longer than I truly wanted. Just a subject fit for the program."

I can see her tense up at the word subject. She wants me to call her my hound. She can't stand it now. And she doesn't even realize it.

"You won't have me as your hound at all. I refuse to become one of those mindless monsters. I won't ever turn on the rebellion." Her desires and pack bond are strong. As long as no one gets in to show their face looking for her, all of her hopes will be dashed. No rescue will make it to this one. This stray had no chance at rescue the moment I found it in my base.

Besides, I've seen what the rebels are considering rescue missions. It's nothing short of suicide missions. They've likely stopped after the first couple of pilots they sent to infiltrate us came back and destroyed their offensive teams. They're not coming to rescue her, especially after she mentioned she was acquired by a Handler.

My choice of Hound is a picky one. And so I've waited, continuing to focus on strategies for other mere pilots. Other Handlers may choose to simply pick the ones that would best suite the missions, the dogs that just need to be trained.

But watching her struggle to decide if she should continue her rebel speech or simply stay quiet. I knew I found the one for me.

"No, of course not. Your friends, your rebel comrades, your family. They'll surely come to get you. And you'll prove me wrong." Even if they come and manage to get her, shes too far gone, far too dependent on me. She'll come running back without even knowing why.

"That's right! You filthy imperials think you can just mess in the mind of anyone!" I shoot her a look. "I... You... Sorry Mx. That... I shouldn't have y-yelled like that." She shrinks. Correcting herself before I can.

"Oh I know you're under so much stress wondering if they'll come, honoring our bet, doing your best to prove me wrong." I place my hand near the bars, and watch as her eyes cling to it itching to be closer. "But until then, you're my dog."

"Y-yes Mx. I am... Your dog." Her eyes haven't left my hand even as I draw it away to the keys to unlock the cell.

Hound is to not be aggravated or diminished beyond its Handler's scope.

I would agree it is!

I'm just not a dominant. But I strive to serve. As an Owner or a Handler, I don't lead with dominance. So that means I do handle certain aspects differently. And so i think its important I'm upfront about that so that later I'm not dealing with others saying I'm doing it 'wrong'. My want and need is to make sure the hound I'm training is being taken care of in a healthy and sane manner.

I give her the structure and care she needs to function and instead of feeling like I'm being in control, I feel more like I'm following.

In my relationship it's more like I'm serving my hound. Which isn't what the traditional structure is. But I'm not expecting anyone to understand. I'm not expecting anyone to like or approve. At the same time it wont be changing. Because it makes my hound happy. And that's what matters most.

I never once had a doubt that you would be mine.

Your eyes screamed to be freed from being a person. And so I'll play with your head until I get rid of every bit of 'personhood' you believed was yours.
