slave screams he's being beaten into submission

[parasitus]

It isn't often that Genie elects to play with her food, so to speak, or to hurt the ones she keeps closest; but this creature is most fascinating, and requires further study, she believes. He claims to be utterly hers, but still he acts on her own.

She's always wondered what it will take to break a man. Today she intends to begin learning just that.

The knocking that taps at Foster's door is polite and sharp, a rapping of knuckles that is over as quickly as it began, and then the person responsible waits in silence.

Foster is notoriously difficult to leash; though it's easy to make him obey in the moment, he's very quick to wander off or grow bored if left alone too long. He's always had his own ideas about things.

But he's still too human for his own good, perhaps. He opens the door suspiciously only because he does not generally invite company. When he sees it's Genie, his tense shoulders and expression relax a little, and he flashes her a smile.
