Did you have any other requests?

Nothing that I think possible to write into such a contract. Certainly given more recent circumstances. And I struggle to ask for things in most cases, though that is a product of my background and no fault of yours.

[the hug he has around his legs is comforting; and he gathers himself in a little further]

I'm not sure I need spell them out to you, but I think anything more would be... more like gentlemen's agreements founded on trust. That you would not push me into anything I am uncomfortable with, save where it is necessary for our own protections. If anything like the Fort should happen again...

[a little shudder - discomfited just by the mention]

...I am not a performer. But if it is needed, I shall.

[samahl]

[The mention of the Fort weighs heavily on him as well, so he understands that shudder.]

I know what you mean...

You should know that I'm not very good at displays of that sort of dominance. During that time, I ate very little.

If you need me to, I can do what they require, but we'll work that out together, I think?

[inaurare]

No, nor am I.

[even when he had obeyed, it was with an uneasy stomach]

But I confess I am... better at subservience. So that may serve us well enough to manage.

[samahl]

And I've some experience in pretending to feel comfortable with power. That will help too.

[inaurare]

I do hope it does. We shall find our way - even if we must be as they would want us to be.

[whatever their discomfort with that]
