Serenity nodded slightly to Toshiro, and again repeated both the words and the movements.
Kairi blinked. "I, uh..." She turned to Toshiro. "How exactly are we going to explain this to her?"
Toshiro shrugged. "I'm not sure...we'd have to essentially reprogram her concept of social hierarchy and materialism...I guess we just have to expose her to new things over time...she'll be here a while...it's her home now."
Kairi turned back to Serenity. ~This is your home now... You can call us Mistress and Master, but you don't have to do what we say.~
Serenity tilted her head a little and blinked, not understanding the concept really
Kairi sighed, thinking for a moment. ~Did you ever want to... not do something that your old mistress told you to?~
Serenity quickly shook her head, as if it was not even a thought.
Toshiro smiled, and assisted Kairi. ~That right! You own Mistress if want. Do what want to! We equal if want. Serve no more if no want to.~
Kairi looked a bit tired. ~You can serve whoever you want now, Serenity, and it will be good.~
Serenity blinked again then wrapped her arms around Kairi, hugging her tightly. ~"Mistress!"~
Kairi sighed again and returned the hug. ~Alright, that's good for now. We can teach you later.~ She grinned a little. ~Let's get you some clothes before Toshiro passes out.~
Toshiro scratched his head, trying to think of what else to do... "...This...will take some work...and yes, please...I'm not used to seeing...such things."
Kairi's grin widened. "Toshi-kun, you're so naive."
Serenity again tilted her head, confused from the idea of clothing.
Kairi picked up the clothing that Reis had delivered, and unfolded a shirt. ~See how this is shaped?~ she inquired of Serenity.
Toshiro handed her the bundle of cloth. He carefully took off his jacket, showed her the similar shape, and put it back on.
She nodded a little, still seemingly confused.
Kairi sighed. "Toshi-kun, you may want to turn around..." She turned to Serenity and said, ~I'm not going to hurt you, but I need you to relax and lift your arms.~
Toshiro turned around, and closed his eyes.
Serenity nodded again and lifted her arms, a little worried about what was going to happen to her.
Kairi rumpled the shirt up so that one arm was completely unfolded, but the rest of the shirt was unobtrusive, and placed Serenity's corresponding arm in. ~We're a part of the way there... This isn't so bad, right?~
Toshiro's eyes were still closed... "How is she doing?"
Kairi smiled gently. "Seems to be alright..." She unfolded the other sleeve and gently put it on Serenity's other arm. ~Now, we have to put your head through this part, but it won't hurt...~
Serenity squirmed a little in the shirt and murphed once or twice, before she frowned. She didn't look like she really enjoyed the feeling of the clothing.
Toshiro continued to wait, eyes closed.
Kairi smiled. ~We're not quite done...~ She carefully slipped Serenity's head through the neck of the shirt, and straightened it over her body... it was a bit long. ~Here we go, you did a good job, Serenity.~
Serenity began to squirm even more then, rubbing and scratching at the outfit as she tried to get used to it. She began to whimper a little as she tried to take it off.
"....Is something wrong?" Toshiro asked...
Kairi looked a bit concerned. "I don't think she's ever worn clothes... she doesn't like them very much."
She began to whimper even more, getting a little frantic with trying to get the clothing off, nails digging into the clothing.
Kairi rubbed Serenity's back. ~Shh, shh, it's alright... It's not going to hurt you, and it will make Master happy if you wear it.~
"Those are Reis' clothes. Don't let her harm them..." He continued to sit there... ~She's right...clothes are good...~
Serenity let out another long groan, staring at Toshiro with pleading eyes. She tried to sit there, her hands at her sides, but she was fidgeting to much. With another whimper the poor girl couldn't take it. The shirt was on the floor after another moment, small holes from her sharp nails around the neck.
"...Did she take it off?"
Kairi made an affirmative sound. "Toshi-kun, don't we have some bed sheets?"
"She's lying on some." He replied... â€
