The leather collar around their neck wasn't actually that heavy, even with the metal chain attached. But it had been days, and it was starting to wear them down. The chain was attached to the wall and kept them from lounging on the bed or sitting on any of the furniture. Fiery eyes longing glanced between the soft bedspread and the eternally steaming bath across the room. Instead, they were forced to pace their little spot.
Raphael had learned that pain wasn't a punishment that worked on Haarlep. But boredom? That was truly agonizing.
Clawed fingers lightly tugged at the leather. "Welcome to the boudoir," they said, other hand gesturing to the rest of the spacious room. "Lock me in here?" they laughed. "Little mouse, this is my home."
