The walk (and talk) continues

Rhea tells him how her day went so far, starting from her stupid mistake with the strapping and all the consequences it had. Daniel's expression is genuinely sympathetic at the appropriate parts, but it is still clear (not that Rhea has a major issue with that) that her ordeal fascinates him from more than just the punishment perspective. "So you got 30 with the strap in total?", he asks and when Rhea affirms he pauses for a moment but then blurts out: "May I see? Sorry, I haven't actually seen your back at all. I mean, only if it's okay..."

Rhea has to stop herself from chuckling. It is actually embarrassing to be giving a purposeful demonstration, but it hardly matters in her state. "Sure", she says and turns around; for good measure she bends forward to grab her ankles, giving the young man the best view he can hope for. He actually gasps audibly at it to her small satisfaction; she can practically feel his eyes on her behind. To her surprise he actually braves a light brush on her bottom with his palm, even though he removes it immediately. "Wow, I think it is still warm!", he says as Rhea straightens herself. "Um, so once you are back to the station you'll be able to dress again?". The officer simply nods.

They resume walking, but Daniel's mind is clearly still on her punishment. "Um, can I ask what would happen if I saw you do something wrong now?", he asks. "Like would I have to report it or punish you or..?" Rhea needs a moment to phrase her response. "The bottom line is that you can punish me regardless of what I have done", she finally says. "The best way to approach it and whether or not to report it will really depend on what it is, though. If it is something small, there is no reason for you not to deal with it yourself and forget it. Say if I swear in front of you, it is not something my superiors will be bothered about as long as you've punished me yourself to your satisfaction. With something more serious though... Like... Let's say if I drove you and parked illegally and left the note that I am on urgent duty... When I am obviously not... Then yes, the best practice would be to spank me severely and let my superiors know. They might not add punishment if they consider yours enough, but they definitely will want to make a note of it".

Daniel nods his understanding. "Are there any particular ways to punish policewomen especially?", he asks. Rhea raises her eyebrows in a (hopefully) joking question. "You are just asking hypothetically, right?". The young man actually giggles, assuring her he has not seen her do anything wrong at all and he is grateful for the rescue. "Hm, in that case..." Rhea begins "... it is ultimately up to you, but department-issued punishments tend to include at least some humiliation on top of the spanking. We are supposed to protect the public so it is only correct that the public sees us disciplined. Like now." She gestures at herself with a regretful smile. "Let's hope your interest can stay hypothetical", she concludes.

"I honestly cannot even imagine spanking you", Daniel replies. "I mean, I can barely imagine spanking anyone, but someone like you... So... Well... You know..."

And Rhea suddenly has an idea.
