Uninvited Guest Round Two

After making sure the rest of the family would carry on with cleaning up dinner, Ahsch went to open the door, and glared at his human guest disdainfully. Before Kira could say anything, he made a silencing motion. "Not a word," he commanded, and her mouth closed with a snap, eyes going wide. "This goes one of two ways. Option one is if you're here to screw around and be an annoying brat like usual: turn around, walk away, and any orders that are active on you will go away. I'll avoid commanding you anymore, and I'll even try and figure out a way to un-enthrall you, on the condition that you quit bothering me.

"Option two is for if you've actually managed to come up with something worthwhile to get me to guide you on another expedition. If you think you have something, and aren't going to be a cunt about it, you'll come in, take off your shoes, and follow me to my room. There, before you try and persuade me to work with you again, you'll prostrate yourself on the floor, and beg forgiveness for being such a cunt. If I think you mean it, we'll go from there."

The girl was rather pale, her eyes wide with shock, fear... and, as Heart Sight confirmed, lust. Crossing his arms, Ahsch stared her down. "Choose. Now."

Kira opened her mouth, but seemed to think better of it. She shifted her weight, took a step back... then whimpered, and stepped across the threshold. Crouching, she took off her shoes while the hrafthi closed the door. He mentally told Mahat to excuse herself and Ariin and meet him in the twins' room. Once the brat had doffed her shoes, he led the way, pausing to poke his head into the dining room to excuse himself, explaining that Kira had visited to discuss what had happened in the Canyon in private, hence why he was stealing Mahat and Ariin - he didn't want to keep anything hidden from his twin, after all.

Once they reached the bedroom - where they found his girls waiting on the bed - Ahsch firmly closed the door, then went to sit between his familiar and sister, putting his arms around their backs and holding them close. The two leaned up against him, gently caressing him in a fawning display of affection, while he gazed imperiously at Kira. "Get to it," he snapped. Blushing spectacularly, the girl reached for the hem of her shirt, her lower lip between her teeth as she started to pull it up, revealing smooth skin. The Dominant Mage made an annoyed sound. "What are you doing?"

The girl froze while Mahat laughed in Ahsch's head. Everyone knew very well what she was doing - she was fulfilling the order that she _wanted _to be given, which was very similar to what her current command was, except she had to strip first. It was the command from when they were still in the Canyon, when Ahsch had snapped at her.

Kira was confused for a long moment, her mouth working silently as she tried to figure out what was wrong. Then, her blush somehow got even redder, realization dawning on her face as she dropped her shirt and smoothed it down. The hrafthi made an impatient motion. "We don't have all night."

Taking a deep breath, the human girl slowly sank to her knees, then leaned down, her forehead pressed to the floor. "I am... I apologize for being a... a cunt..." she stammered out."

There was silence for a long moment. It was broken first by Mahat's loud laugh, then by Ahsch's annoyed sigh. "You call that an apology?"

Kira seemed to shrink against the floor. "I'm... I don't..."

"Fine, I'll spell it out for you, since you clearly only have _your_ cunt on your mind. When you apologize, you don't just parrot back what people are telling you to apologize for. That's insincere. Think of _why _they want you to apologize. Be specific. And thorough. I can think of at least... five or six things just from the other day. See if you can get even three of them."

A pathetic whimper came from the floor. Then she swallowed. "I... am sorry, for being... a rude... inconsiderate...? cunt..."

"Ooh, look at that," Ariin taunted, "she's halfway there!"

Another whimper. "I'm sorry for... for being obnoxious and rude when we first met! For ignoring all your warnings and acting like a stuck-up bitch!" Ahsch's eyebrows lifted as everything started to come pouring out. "I'm sorry for treating your job like it was dumb, for trying to irritate you on the expedition! I'm sorry for... I'm sorry for putting us in danger and almost getting us killed; for upsetting a goddess enough that she... she wanted to kill me, and for angering you. I'm sorry for being such a stuck-up, arrogant cunt!"

Ahsch could tell, from the shaking of her body, and the muffled sounds of her sniffling, that the girl was crying. He shared an awkward glance with his familiar and sister, who both looked as surprised as he felt. Slowly, he stood, slipping out of their embrace, and went over to stand then kneel beside the crying human. With a sigh, he gently guided her to sit up, then stand, and led her over to the bed. Through her tears, she gave him and the other two girls a confused look, but didn't fight as he sat, then carefully pulled her into his lap and simply held her.

After a tense moment, where it seemed that all four were holding their breath, Kira suddenly broke down, practically sobbing as Ahsch gently rubbed her back and his girls placed comforting hands on the significantly-less bitchy girl.
