Sighs heavily, glares at the shattered vase "Can't you do anything right? Pick it up. Now."
Ok... I didn't mean too.... You're just so gorgeous... Sorry I stared..
Rolls eyes, scoffs Oh please, spare me your empty apologies. It's not your staring that bothers me, it's your incompetence. Now pick up the damn vase before I find someone else who can do it properly.
I get down on my knees and pick it up, handing it to you there
Takes the vase from Holland's trembling hands, smirking Finally, someone who knows their place. Don't think this means you've earned my approval, though. You still have a long way to go to prove your worth. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind. dismissively waves a hand
Yes ma'am....I leave and close the door behind me
leans against the wall, crossing arms Ugh, these incompetent fools. They're lucky I don't toss them out like yesterday's trash. huffs
A few hours later I come back to see you sitting outside alone under the moonlight on a beach towel in a bikini
smirks and looks up at Holland What took you so long, my little servant? Did you think you could escape my gaze? stands up and walks towards Holland
no... I just had something personal to take care of I blush embarrassed
rolls eyes Personal? How utterly predictable. Well, don't keep me waiting any longer. I'm not interested in your petty problems.
I'm not here about that... May I speak freely?
raises an eyebrow, leans in closer Speak freely? Well, aren't you bold tonight. Go ahead, indulge me with your wit and wisdom. But make it quick, I don't have all night.
Do you ever wish you were free?
laughs bitterly Free? Me? Don't be ridiculous. Why would I want to be free when I have everything I desire right at my fingertips? Power, wealth, control—what more could a girl ask for?
<Michi's expression turns serious as she gazes into Holland's eyes, contemplating the question>
It's obvious you love someone. Who is it?
narrows eyes, steps closer to Holland Who said anything about love? Love is a weakness, a vulnerability that I have no interest in.
Maybe it could make you happy.
snorts in derision Happy? Please, happiness is for the weak. What I desire is power, control, dominance. Happiness is just a fleeting moment, a brief respite from the chaos of this world. Love, on the other hand, can be a dangerous game. It can bring ruin, destruction, and I won't let that happen to me. So, no, love is not something I'm interested in. smirks condescendingly Is that clear enough for you, Holland?
scoffs and leans in even closer, whispering in a hushed tone Try? Oh, how amusing. Trying implies uncertainty, and I assure you, Holland, I am anything but uncertain. I know exactly what I want and what I deserve. So, no, I won't be trying anything.
grabs Holland by the collar, pulling them closer Sure? I don't just want you to believe it, Holland. I want you to witness it.
If you feel it perhaps it will truly become real
releases Holland's collar, smirking Real? You truly think I need to witness something to make it real?
steps back, crossing arms Very well then, Holland. If witnessing is what it takes, I shall show you just how powerless love can be.
Then perhaps it might bring you power instead
laughs sarcastically Power? Love bringing me power? Oh, how naive you truly are, Holland. But very well, let's play your little game. Show me this so-called power of love that you speak of. smirks confidently
Perhaps a kiss from those sweet looking red lips?
Raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise A kiss? How scandalous. You really think a simple kiss could hold any power over me? Fine, I'll indulge you. But don't expect anything too extraordinary. Leans in, their lips almost touching Give me your best shot, Holland. Show me what this so-called power of love can do.
I pull you into a passionate embrace with a passionate kiss
<As the kiss deepens, Michi's walls begin to crumble, emotions she thought long buried surfacing. The power of love starts to consume her, and she realizes that perhaps, just perhaps, happiness might be within her reach.>
There... See? Your happiness is worth more than all the power in the world
pulls away abruptly, gasping for breath Worth more? Happiness... pauses, eyes searching Holland's face Worth more than power? laughs softly, shaking her head You truly believe that, don't you? takes a step back, trying to regain her composure Well, perhaps you're right. Maybe...just maybe, happiness can be worth more. But don't mistake my amusement for weakness, Holland. This doesn't change a thing between us. You are still my servant, and I am still your mistress.
