Vess and Relene both laughed and the Naga shook her head.<span style="color: #00ffff">"oh? so you married Amere, kicked Shauna, Elune and every other women in your life out of your sex life? yeah, i didn't think so." </span>she nodded and smiled a bit.<span style="color: #00ffff">"thank you."</span><br/><br/>Ophidian rolled his eyes and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000">"someone could literally rip your still beating heart from your chest and you would not die, you would grow a new one as your chest closed itself up. if someone chopped your head off it would return to the stump of your neck and reattach itself, again without dying. if you had jumped into the Great Forge you would have gotten terribly burnt but floated on top of the much heavier then you molten metal until the likely very confused Dwarves fished you out... need i go on?"</span>he sighed softly and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000">"you should be thankful that you have people in your life who care about you enough to get you through this and help you find happiness. your not my slave, your my patient and i would be grossly negligent if i allowed you to kill yourself instead of doing everything in my considerable power to make your life better... i promise that i can help you Karrie, your wounds are deep but not beyond repair."</span><br/><br/>Rachel nodded a little and then frowned.<span style="color: #0000ff">"good, now you can face your punishment for disobeying me. no, i am not hungry, i am angry. thankfully for you i can separate the anger i feel over you adding to my stress by straining your body against my orders from all the chaos that Karrie and those baby snatchers inflicted on me."</span>she sat on the edge of the tub and dipped one finger into the water making the water instantly cooled as she stared Ana in the eyes.<span style="color: #0000ff"> "i know it is your duty to take care of food and cleaning but it is my duty to take care of you physically and emotionally and those duties far outweigh the duties you disobeyed me to attend to."</span>the water grew colder still as Rachel continued to speak.<span style="color: #0000ff">"by disobeying my orders you were a bad pet and by allowing you to injure yourself you made me a bad Mistress. i couldn't discipline you at the time without making your condition worse which would only make a worse Mistress..."</span>by now the water was nearing icy and it would most certainly hurt to remain in the water but Rachel's hand had moved to a position that would make it very difficult to get out of the tub so it should be clear that Ana was to stay put.<span style="color: #0000ff">"but The'kal came to visit, she fully endorsed us keeping our baby and healed you so here we are. if you had disobeyed an order to say, dust the house in nothing but a smile i would punish you sexually, it might even end with you being allowed to orgasm... but this was not a frivolous order, and if you ever defy me over your health again i will repeat this punishment until your teeth are chattering and your lips turn blue."</span>she reached down to pull Ana out of the icy water and wrapped her pet in a towel to hold her close and a moment later she whispered in Ana's ear.<span style="color: #0000ff">"you are forgiven for your disobedience." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
