The young man raised an eyebrow. He did not like trust the woman. "...What's the deal..?" he asked slowly.

"If you spend the night with me, I'll let you spend the next day with my pet, free of interruption. But if that's not your type of thing, you can spend the night in the dungeon instead with the same promised reward. How does that sound?" she asked with a smile. "Just one night of fun, or confinement, and I'll lend it to you free of charge for one more day."The slave wanted to object, but the gag prevented him from saying anything understandable, so he hung his head helplessly and waited for Arron's reply.

Arron weighed his options. "...I'll take the dungeon." he said, knowing the first option would require something he was not ready to give up, "...But I will warn you, if I'm pushed to my limit physically you will not like what happens..." He knew his counterpart would be to his advantage, but the mechanic did not wish to blow the mansion apart.

"Nn..." the slave shook his head a little. He didn't want Arron to have to suffer a night in that terrible place.The woman chuckled. "Wonderful. Follow me, then. I'll have my pet get you a nice cosy cell." she started to walk toward the forest, obviously expecting to be followed.The slave stood instinctively, following his Mistress a specific distance behind her.

Arron could only follow silently. He did not know what to do. He really wanted to take the slave & flee.

For whatever odd reason, the trip back to the mansion was a lot shorter than the trip to get away from it. Whether it was just a mind trick or some sort of magic, the three arrived quickly, and the Mistress led them inside, and to the door to the dungeon. "You know, you've made me curious about what pushing you to your limits will accomplish. I'm tempted to see for myself, but it's late. Slave, lead him into a cell and shackle him to the wall, then quickly come to my room. You'll be spending the night with me in his place." she instructed, folding her arms under her chest.The slave bowed his head, full of regret as he opened the door to the dungeon for Arron.

The mechanic flashed the slave a smile as he entered the cell. He was doing his best to keep himself calm as was his counterpart.

Arron's smile was quite surprising to the slave. He didn't see how anyone could smile in such a situation, but for some reason, it gave him hope. Maybe if he kept their goal in mind, even as he spent the night with his Mistress, he'd make it through everything all right. All he could do to show Arron this new resolve was nod before he carefully shackled his friend's wrists. The shackles were long enough to allow a prisoner to sit, and they even allowed more give than that for Arron due to his height. They were thick, and made of tough metal, cold to the touch and uncomfortable.The Mistress waited in the main hall, then started to make her way to her room once she knew for certain Arron was properly chained in a cell.

"D-Don't worry... I-I'll be okay... I-I pr-promise th-things will be okay." said Arron as he sat down on the cold stone floor. He smiled at the slave reassuringly, but he was scared for his friend. He was wondering if he should have taken the punishment instead. He tugged on the shackles testing them out for any weaknesses in case something went awry.

The shackles jangled noisily, but held strong, both to the wall, and to Arron's wrists. The slave would have frowned if he could, but at the same instant he wanted to let Arron know that he would be okay somehow. As he slipped through the cell door and closed it, he looked back in at Arron and put his hand to his own chest before giving a small nod once more. Trying to speak would have only made him embarrass himself, so that was all he could do.

Arron returned the same gesture to the slave. He continued to smile until he left. He would be there for the remainder of the night unless something happened.

The dungeon was dark and silent through the night, though the passing of time was hard to measure due to the lack of windows. In such an environment, time appeared to be frozen. To spend a number of days in such a place surely would have been hard on any person's disposition. There was no indication of when the sun rose from there, but it eventually did, and all remained silent and still until the door opened slowly at the top of the stairs.

Arron had fallen asleep at some point against the wall. He was used to this as he would sleep in the inner workings of threads during events when he became too tired. He was still asleep when the door opened.

The lights of the dungeon flashed on and off a couple times as if someone was having a hard time with them before finally staying on. After a bit of what sounded like awkward shuffling, a quiet voice echoed off the walls from the end of the staircase. "Ah... Arron?" the slave uttered in a very unsure voice.

The light flashing made Arron sit up. "...Y-Yeah..?" he said slightly disoriented. He felt very stiff, but did not mind very much. "Oh...OH. St-Stars... Are y-you okay?" he asked concerned the shackles moving with him.
