She slowly tried to catch her breath, choking down her sobs. She didn’t want to anger him. But he was comforting her, stroking her hair and kissing her gently. So unlike how he had been treating her. She almost didn’t know what to do with herself, though him calling her a good girl helped comfort her since now she knew she hadn’t upset him in any way. She was just so frightened from her dream. “She nodded when he said she didn’t have to apologize, her eyes drifted to look down at the bed. She didn’t know why she had been apologizing, but something inside made her feel like she should and she wasn’t exactly sure why her master was telling her not to. She didn’t really understand, but she couldn’t question him.
He held her to him and she was able to continue calming down until her crying almost faded. She definitely felt better in his arms. After a little while he reached around her and called for the guards to bring her food, but she clung to him as he did so. The second he would let go of her, she would no longer feel safe. When he was done on the phone he wiped at her tears, and she was once again startled but comforted by his gentleness. She nodded slowly when he suggested that she shower, even though she really didn’t want to move out of his arms. She went with him to the bathroom, feeling especially vulnerable. She sat on the edge of the tub and wrapped her arms around herself when he told her that Mistress Rose wanted her slave to come see her. She gave him a puzzled look, unsure of who he was talking about, until…Quinn. She remembered. She had forgotten all about her, and all about her other friends as well. “I-I don’t know,” she whispered, genuinely unsure about why Mistress Rose would want Quinn to come see her. She wasn’t even sure if she wanted to see Quinn herself.
Jesse could feel Rachel clinging to him and he smirked a bit to himself, knowing that she was learning well. He made her feel safe when she needed comfort, but she also knew to obey him when he gave an order. His Songbird was well on her way to being the perfect slave and he couldn't wait until she was was fully trained. When he asked his question, he glanced up and saw her puzzled face before turning back to filling the tub with warm water. She whispered that she didn't know why Rose wanted her and Quinn to meet and he figured it had to be Rose's slave wanting to see her. "Well, considering you're still learning, the only way she's coming to see you is if you perform for me. Like you did with Sebastian." he tells her, turning off the water once the tub was filled. He helped her in, reaching for a washcloth and a bar of soap to clean her up with. "What do you think about that, Songbird? You can see your little blond, but only under my circumstances, or you don't see her at all."
