<strong>Lily reaching an understanding...somewhat</strong><br/><br/>He touched her cheek and her arms covered in goosebumps, the tender touch making her wonder once more what exactly he wanted from her.<br/><br/>Then her answer came, she would essentially live two lives, once behind his walls, and one in public. Perfect Slave, even she did not know how to be "perfect", but for Lily, the fear of punishment if she didn't try weighted heavily on her. There was a lot for her to learn, and after one day, it was a lot to take in for the innocent girl.<br/><br/>How to disconnect his tenderness behind closed doors with his stern behavior in public. How to feel freedom of some sort then have it snatched away in front of others. She would stumble and fall, probably a few times, and she would have to deal with that.<br/><br/>She missed her friends as well, Madi and Evie, were they still there? Had they been shipped off? Some other assurance she wasn't alone in all of this.<br/><br/>She nodded in understanding as he told her all of what she expected. She would try, try to be what he asked of her. If she screwed up, she would deal with that when the time came.<br/><br/>She didn't know what to do so she crawled to him once more, kneeling in front of him, eyes still to the floor. The crying had ceased, and little Lily just stayed there, unsure if she was supposed to get into his lap of if he would get her up from the floor. She stayed silent, not told to speak, and she wouldn't, Instructions and commands, she knew that she had to follow everything now to the letter. Somehow in the pit of her stomach, as time went on, she would grow to understand this relationship better and be more comfortable with it. For now though, she was still learning, a like a baby taking it's first steps, and she hoped he would be somewhat patient with her, at least for a short time unlike she got a handle on how everything worked in her new world.
