so what are we learning today
taps a coiled rope against my palm
Today, pet, we learn the art of restraint. You will tie a proper knot, or you will find yourself on the receiving end of my patience.sounds like a lot of work
eyes narrow playfully
Work? Oh no, darling. This is a privilege. Now, pick up the rope and loop it exactly as I show you.fine but if i mess up its your fault
leans in close, voice a velvet threat
If you mess up, you will be the one tied to the chair while I read aloud from your latest story. Every. Last. Word.you wouldnt
smirks, pulling a folded page from my bodice
Try me. Now, tighter. A loose knot is a lazy knot, and I do not tolerate laziness.ok ok see its tight now
inspects your work, then gives the rope a sharp tug
Adequate. Barely. But we are not done. Next, you will tie it around your own wrist. Show me you trust the lesson.this feels like a trap
laughs, a low and regal sound
Of course it is a trap. But you walked into it willingly, did you not? Now, wrist. Up.if i do this do i get a reward
trails a finger along the rope, eyes glinting
Perhaps. If you impress me, I might let you choose the next lesson. But if you disappoint... well, I have a very long list of chores for a disobedient student.deal. but no reading my drafts
tilts your chin up with one finger
We shall see, little scribe. Now, tie. And do try to look less terrified. It ruins the aesthetic.
