“And that’s how I ended up Belonging to a terrifying mass of muscle, ma’am.” Reynard did his best to make a bow, although the bonds of probably-hawthorn restricted his movement enough to make it only a twitch. "How I ended up Belonging to a -" he coughed. "Forgive me, ma'am, to a beautiful woman like yourself is another story."
The woman studied him for a minute. She seemed neither be offended by the compliment nor complimented by it - for the life of him, Reynard couldn't read a single emotion off of her face. He was out of practice working without magic.
"That is a very interesting story." She spoke slowly. Shit, was she - differently abled? He'd never belonged to anyone slow before. "I even believe most of it." She pursed her lips. "It definitely sounds like you."
That again. And he couldn't remember her at all. He coughed, and went for a completely non-committal "Ma'am?"
"It will do for now, at least." She picked up a pair of wire cutters from her table of tools.
"Ma'am?" This time, Reynard knew his voice went high-pitched. The things you could do with wire cutters... "Ma'am, I..."
"Shhh. You belong to me, Reynard called Fox in the Henhouse. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to torture you." He wasn't entirely clear if the repetition was clarification or reassurance. He wasn't reassured, either way.
"Ma'am?" This time it was a whisper. He didn't have much choice.
She started clipping, far too near parts of him he was very fond of. "When I've got you out of this, we can talk living arrangements."
Well, at least that meant he was probably going to live.
