No need to get angry

“Fine,” you say sceptic, “have it your way.”

“Thank you for understanding, young mistress,” Mitsu says shy, “I … I hope I didn’t insult you with this.”

You finish eating in silence. When you are done, you take the plate with Mitsu’s food and hand it to her, so she can eat somewhere else. Mitsu still looks uncomfortable when she takes food from you. you are sure it’s no critic on your skills. It just feels not right for her, because you are the mistress and she should do things for you.

“Thank you very much, young mistress,” Mitsu thanks you and blushes, “And I’m really sorry if I upset you somehow. I really appreciate your kindness. And your help and protection even more. But … I am your servant. You don’t have to do this.”

“As I said, have it your way,” you reply gentle but firm, “if you prefer us to be mistress and servant rather than just two friends, I can live with it.”

Mitsu nods gratefully. You head back to your room and she probably goes to a servant area to eat her lunch. You are not sure how things will go on with her. When she wants to be just a servant, it is her decision, but you hoped she would be open for more, eventually.
