When Mir opened his arms the boy immediately moved forward, nuzzling into his masters chest. He practically purred at the affection before looking up at the werewolf. Over the past few weeks it had slowly become easier to look the other in the eye the way he used to. It wasn't much, but still a victory into moving back to the way he used to act.
"Sir..While I do appreciate them greatly, you didn't need to do all of this." Emrys said quietly at the mention of another gift. "You told me you were sorry. You apologized to me. That's more than many masters would ever do. That was more than I could ever ask for." He didn't want to sound ungrateful to his master, but he wanted to let the man know he didn't need material things to be kept happy or be forgiving.
As Mir spoke about Jenn being different, he nodded in agreement. It had been easy to see from the very beginning that the two slaves were complete opposites. He was no longer angry at the girl. He actually pitied the girl that she felt so troubled that she needed to do all that she did. He knew that there was probably no changing the girl, at least not without a lot of help. "I understand." he replied, nodding a little. "When she came to me after...well, when she told me, she said that she thought she was helping me. That she saw me making mistakes and that she thought I felt horrible because I wasn't being punished."
Emrys bit his lip, wanting the same thing as his Master but not quite sure how to get there yet. He was slowly making progress but hitting walls in others. The two biggest issues seemed to be Emrys speaking his mind the way he used to and speaking his master's given name. He'd tried many times but it just seemed to get lodged in his throat, as if choking him.
"We're not strangers Master" He said quietly, clinging to him a little tighter. "I know your favorite foods, what music you enjoy, and I can even tell when you've had a bad day at work. I talked to another slave at that club you took me too. He helped me a little bit, though I know I'm still having trouble with some things. I hate that I disappoint you not being able to go right back to how things were. I just don't know how to get there just yet."
