It's Fun To Serve The Master [Knight/Adam]

[ode]

"Good, we are in agreement. Now that tailor was supposed to have left you something unfitted for you to wear. Go get it, get dressed and join me back here immediately," he instructed as he sipped his tea.

[phantasmalunar]

Adam found a light purple tunic that feel to his knees with dark gray breeches for underneath and returned dressed. "I'm back, Master Sir."

[ode]

Knight frowned at the lack of a proper vest or jacket but let it slide for now. "Sit with me then and have tea."

[phantasmalunar]

Adam was getting a little annoyed by this. It wasn't like he really wanted to hang out with the man who'd raped him the very next day.

[ode]

"I assume you know proper table manners," he said pointedly before sipping his tea and informing Adam, "A tutor will arrive tomorrow to ensure that you have at least some education. You seem a rather smart lad, I believe you'll do well."

[phantasmalunar]

Adam frowned, looking away as he picked up a cup of tea himself. "I've been a tutor, with all do respect, I don't think I really need one, Master Sir. I've said before that I'm normally a perfect servant."

[ode]

"Well, you're no longer a servant," he said. "And I wont doubt your intelligence but the tutor is not for educational purposes in a schooling sense so much as an etiquette sense. I need to know that you will be able to handle and host social functions."

[phantasmalunar]

Adam didn't bother to repeat the perfect servant part. He would just have to blow the tutor's mind. "Yes, Master Sir."

[ode]

"And that's another thing. You will no longer refer to me as Master ourside our bedchamber. You may say, my lord and perhaps when we are closer, my name."

[phantasmalunar]

Adam's eyes widened. The first one he could do, but the other... "Y-your name, milord?"

[ode]

"When you've accepted me, yes. And only in private until I deem otherwise," he said, reaching across the table to run his finger tips down the male's jawline.

[phantasmalunar]

Adam flinched at the touch and looked away, violet eyes sad. "I know I have no right to ask this, but at least for a while, could you refrain from touching me. I've not forgiven or forgotten, Milord Master Sir."

[ode]

"I will give you one week, Adam," he allowed.

[phantasmalunar]

Adam nodded and sipped his tea.

[ode]

Knight leaned back in his seat and surveryed the man, wondering not for the first time what it was about him that appealed so to him. "Do you feel anything for me, Adam? Asdie from your hatred of what I did to you."
