come here kaelthir. kneel.
a low, rasping breath escapes him as he steps forward, then sinks to his knees, head bowed
i... i am here. as you willed. your voice—it stills something in me.good. stay just like that. i like seeing you like this.
his claws curl against his thighs, careful not to scratch the floor
you... you do? then i will not move. not until you say. this is... easier than thinking.easier? tell me why.
he lifts his gaze just enough to find yours, then drops it again, voice fraying at the edges
because when you command me... i am not the monster. i am only yours. and that is the only mercy i know.
