be discreet

[msmage]

It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

Comments

[eclipsi]

"I don't think mutations are usually dramatic enough to change sex."

[msmage]

"Then he was a safeguard, in case you didn't work out."

[eclipsi]

"Then why doesn't he have magic? Or a sex drive?"

[msmage]

"Hmm... Maybe you were the safeguard in case he didn't work out. Or maybe he was created just to throw us off the government's scent."

[eclipsi]

"A compelling argument, pet."

[msmage]

"Although maybe the government wouldn't be that competent, it's probably some company."

[eclipsi]

"I hope I don't get repossessed."

[msmage]

"Me, too, I like having you around."

[eclipsi]

"Good." Kiss.

[msmage]

Kiss!

[eclipsi]

"It occurs to me that I forgot to remind you to arrive hungry tonight."

[msmage]

Blink. "Well, I suppose it's good this conversation has kept me from grabbing dinner, then."

[eclipsi]

"Mm-hm. You can have a little something off my plate if you're ravenous - the point of the evening is about feeding you, not me - but not much. Go get me some macaroni and broccoli."

[msmage]

"Yes, ma'am," she says, melting a bit.

[eclipsi]

Isabella waits patiently to be fetched dinner and eats and feeds Sadde two florets of broccoli and one forkful of mac 'n cheese.

[msmage]

And Sadde's kneeling there meditating on how lucky she is and how great Isabella is and also a little bit on magic.

[eclipsi]

Good.

"You don't have anywhere to be, do you?"

[msmage]

"Yes, I do," she says gravely. "Your room."

[eclipsi]

"Good answer." Tap tap tap out of the cafeteria.

[msmage]

Follow follow follow looking like a lovestruck puppy.

[eclipsi]

Isabella has acquired many foods. But Sadde doesn't get to look at them. Sadde gets put on the bed and topless and blindfolded instead.

[msmage]

Ooh this is exciting. Sadde's excited. She's visibly excited.

[eclipsi]

Isabella's tiny fondue pot is also useful for:

dipping things in cheese.

Have a toast with herby cheese all over it, Sadde.

[msmage]

Did Isabella mean for Sadde to make a lot of happy noises? Because she's doing that right now.

[eclipsi]

That is exactly the point of the exercise. Isabella provides miscellaneous fondued objects with one hand and strokes her lovely Sadde with the other. Pet pet pet.
