In bed with Jasmine

A strange sensation, which she had almost forgotten. That of a pleasant and restful night's sleep, in a comfortable bed, tenderly embraced. A beautiful and pleasant dream. It is so idyllic that Katie would never have to wake up. But, his new life does not allow him any more this kind of luxury. When she opened her eyes, she realized it wasn't a dream. She's in a beautiful bed in the suite, snuggled up against her, Jasmine. Embarrassed by Little Doll's movements, she growls a little and turns around to continue sleeping.

When she gets up, Katie realizes that she is in the sleepy young woman's suite. She gets up, but loses her balance, and falls. She doesn't feel weak, but strangely clumsy. As she stands up, she sees her personal commlink on the bedside table. She's getting it back. It contains a message from the Shady Man.

"Hard morning, Little Doll! I disabled your implants, which are in maintenance, which will impact your abilities, both physical and mental. So you will take the opportunity to do various basic exercises and tests. I listed them in the "Dressage" folder. Ah, and Jasmine is a little sick, I'm counting on you to take care of her and meet all her needs."

When closing the message the commlink has two icons on its screen. One for emergency contact with the Shady Man and a "Dressage" file. Is this a joke, or the real vision he has of me? She opens the file and quickly goes through the list of exercises. Walks, posture, mathematical operations, literary analyses. All covering a wide range of levels.

During the morning Katie alternates exercises and supervision of Jasmine. A Jasmione a little weakened, but still quite fit. She nevertheless spends most of the morning on the couch, nestled in a blanket, watching Little Doll do her exercises and sometimes allowing herself small comments. Neither of them addresses the events of the evening before. It is still unclear and difficult to understand. At the end of the morning, Jasmine succeeds in convincing Katie of the essential utility of her presence in her arms. She embraces him on the couch, and the two young women enjoy an intimate but platonic moment.
