    She chuckled softly and a genuine smile crossed her features. "Well, I appreciate it, don't want to fall asleep during my first lesson." Ennui moved to take a seat at the table, trying her best to keep her excitement in check -- and failing miserably at the task. Her gaze lingered eagerly on...

    A moment later Ennui returned to Cynric's side with the small book that he'd asked her to bring him. It wasn't so much a request as it was a command, she knew that, but she did as she was told. She handed him the black book with a small smile, inclining her head. The fact that he might follow...

    She offered a faint smile as she set the tray of food down next to him, dipping her head in a polite greeting. "I did, actually. I uh... Well, I decided I didn't want to leave the estate alone so... I just kept myself busy with work." She explained as she went pour the man a drink, making it...

    She hesitated for a moment at the command, but she followed it nevertheless. Slowly, the traumatized tiefling approached the Lord of the house until she came to a stop just before him. Blood still seeped from the bite on her neck, as though she didn't even realize it was there. Her eyes...

    She jumped when Cynric cleared his throat behind her, causing her to nearly drop the tray of fresh fruits she'd just put together for his breakfast. With a sigh, she set the tray back down on the counter, worriedly dragging both her hands through her dark hair. Was she in trouble...

    Before she left to venture back to the manor, Ennui paused long enough to gather the basket of food and what flowers she'd collected before the brothers had attacked her. She walked silently up the hill and into the safety of the estate walls, her head low. Her mind was still racing, but she...

    The man wheezed a wet breath as Cynric's boot came down on his spine, and then he slumped into the grass. His grip released Ennui's leg and he didn't move again. It was all over before the tiefling could fully process what had happened. Trembling, she hurried to Cynric's side and wrapped her...

    One of the men was sitting on top of Ennui, pinning her to the ground. The other had clearly been in the process of unbuckling his trousers. Cynric's sudden appearance caught them off guard, but they seemed more annoyed than frightened by the interruption. Blood oozed from Ennui's neck where...

    Running hadn't even crossed Ennui's mind. Sure, the lord of the estate had some... Eccentric tendencies, but so far he'd treated her well and provided a relatively comfortable life for someone like her. She was just happy to be outside with the freedom to pick as many flowers as she wanted. It...

    As much as she wanted to stay in bed and revel in the comfort of the mattress, she knew that there was work to be done. She rolled onto her back and closed her eyes, a soft sigh slipping from her lips. There would always be work to be done. Though Lord Azren, it seemed, had a kind streak...

    Ennui smiled a little at the question, clasping her hands together in front of herself. There was no fidgeting this time, she seemed more confident now that she'd been working. "You wanted me to start with the windows, uncover and clean them to let in more light. Then dealing with the dust...

    "Lord Azren, dinner is prepared." Ennui spoke softly, trying her best to mitigate the disturbance to Cynric's reading. "Would you like your meal served in here or in the dining room?" She'd taken time to make herself more presentable, though her clothes were still rather tattered. Throughout...

    Ennui paused in the doorway, glancing over her shoulder at the Nobleman seated by the fire. Her hand came to rest against the doorframe and she felt her breath catch in her throat, heart skipping a single beat. Would he actually do such a thing for her? She was just a servant. He owned her...

    No one had ever touched her in such a way before. It was so soft, and tickled along her flesh as his fingers brushed along her jaw. She felt a shiver run down her spine. A moment passed before she recovered and she straightened herself, still blushing far more than she would have liked. The...

    Private Tales Twist of Fate

    In the midst of him listing off the items, Ennui realized what was happening. Cynric was trying to distract her from the tasks he was laying out for her. Once it became clear this was some sort of challenge or test, she found it far easier to focus, despite the teasing of her hair along her...
