When the elf's hands first touched him, Tannow froze for a moment. As if sensing her hesitation, he said "it's okay, you don't have to stop."<br/><br/>This was supposed to be about figuring her out. Learning how to motivate her, to control her, to ensure his plans were on course. But that wasn't what this felt like. This felt like making himself vulnerable. He had to tell himself it was all still just to better control #74, but something in him doubted that answer...<br/><br/>"Anyway," he finally said, easing gently into her touch as she continued, "you can't say that there is no planning without control. I have offered you control and you turn it down. When you are free you will need a plan, because you will have no one to call 'master'.<br/><br/>"Even in the meantime, with each task you complete for me, your freedom and privileges will grow. Speaking of privileges, are there any you especially desire?" Still trying, always trying to find a way to influence her, even if it seemed unnecessary at the moment. "Knowing you it'll be something boring you want," he teased.
