Martin is away from the phone right now. Pleas leave a message and he'll get back to you.

He just wants someone to cook and clean for him.
We've done this before.

And he's one of my victims, Martin.
I had to give him something.
I was the one who suggested it.
I'll be fine.
no subject
Why would you suggest that?!
no subject
He has a hanging swing in room he had me stay in last time.
I liked using it while I was reading.
[He'd sort of enjoyed being ordered around and lightly teased and disciplined, as well, but Jon doesn't know how to articulate that without it sounding peculiar.]
I can't take it back now.
He's a changeling.
It was a pledge, and he'll have to retaliate if I break my promise.
no subject
Are you sure he's not just saying that to intimidate you into agreeing to things like this?
no subject
Don't be ridiculous.
[Unless Martin wanted a swing... Jon could justify that to himself much more easily.]
And he's not intimidating me.
If anything, he has more reason to be afraid of me than I do of him.
If you're really that worried, you can talk to him about it.
His name is Jamie, and he goes by 'flower' on the network.
no subject
[Jon is allowed to have things he likes.]
Maybe I will. Talk to him I mean.
And you're too- you take too much on your own shoulders.
no subject
You know better than most people what it's like for my victims.
How destructive constant nightmares can be.
'Too much' is never going to be enough.
no subject
I know, I know what happens. But it doesn't mean that you have to constantly put yourself through hell to stone for things.
no subject
Providing someone a service in return for a service isn't putting myself through hell.
It's just being responsible.
[Like he's supposed to be.]
The worst he might make me do is show him my underwear.
He doesn't do anything about it if I tell him not to touch me, though.
no subject
You shouldn't have to worry about whether someone is going to listen when you tell them you don't want to be touched, but I suppose that's even less of a guarantee here.
no subject
Jamie isn't like that.
He doesn't force me to do things, just helps if I'm being affected by something and ask him for it.
I worry about you, too, you know?
What the city's going to do to you.
The way it forced you into that marriage with Elias...
no subject
[He just doesn't always trust Jon to not do things he abhors out of a sense of duty or guilt.]
It wasn't great, but I got out of it okay, didn't I?
no subject
We never really talked about what he might have done to you, Martin.
no subject
It wasn't the best few days of my life, but I've dealt with worse.
He didn't turn into thousands of worms and I didn't find any corpses.
no subject
Elias wasn't particularly straightforward when I asked him.

All right.
I'm glad he didn't hurt you.
I've been worried about that.
I know you can take care of yourself, Martin, but he's dangerous.
no subject
I hadn't noticed. Not like he caused the apocalypse or anything!
no subject
The situation here is even worse than at home.
He's a Dominant.
If you act out against him publicly, he could have you arrested.
no subject
I know! I'm not exactly going to challenge him to a duel.
It's fine. He didn't hurt me or try anything.
no subject
He could have you cited for that.
I've tried to make sure our contract can shield you from the worst punishments, but I don't want to test it.
