Simple boredom

Neo shrugged and typed into her scroll "I was bored."

"Really?" Duke asked. "You want to be hypnotized, to lose your free will and be me and Emerald's ****...because you're bored?"

Neo nodded and typed again.

"I can't talk, I'm always doing what Cinder says, and I need a little more excitement in my life. So I want you to hypnotize me."

"Um, okay," said Duke. "And you're aware I'll be using you as I see fit, right?"

Neo nodded.

"All right then," Duke said, placing his fingers on Neo's forehead.
