So far, everything that came to mind ended in dismal failure. The thing was the timing had to be perfect every time, that wasn't about to happen.Ephus... was fingering the Remira stone absently, there had to be a way to do this.Have you forgotten my offer godling? Much of this, that you wish to do, would become simple with my help. The Remira said.Shocked a moment Ephus quickly regained his composure. "Simple? I thought that you only effected time, I..." Ephus abruptly slapped his forehead, "time!. And believe me, that’s how he really is. He sees more about a woman in an instant than anyone I’ve ever known.’ ‘We used to make a game of it. The guys would sit at a café or someplace and make a very quiet comment about a girl walking past. Nothing she could hear, and nothing rude or stupid – remember that Steph and I were there too, and even so, none of the three are like that. The game was that they had to mention some quality about the woman that they could see clearly with just a look.. "This is an Eternity collar. It will be the symbol of my ownership of you. A reminder that you are my slut, and that you are now black-owned. The only way to take it off is with this tool," he said holding up a thin metal tool. "Do you understand?"I wasn't expecting something so declarative to come from this date at its formation but after the events of the night, it felt the like the rational next step in the journey. Looking at the elegant simplicity of the thin black metal collar, I imagined. " Yeah, I've noticed. She's safety, shelter, the first safe place you had when you were running away. Kalliste feels more like a home to you than either my house or Rebecca's." How'd you get so smart?" I didn't, I've just got a few years head start on being a psych-job. Really though, we do have to get you started facing these things. We can't change the whole world to suit us so we do have to learn how to get along with what we've got. Assuming this all works out, next year you'll be in a new.
