I didn't open my eyes until I felt Master let me go and put a hand on my cheek.

"We're here now, Flower."

I slowly open my eyes to see a huge tower with what looked like the word 'Stark' at the top. I look forward again to realize that Master and Sir Thor had started walking. Quickly, I grab the ruffles again and have run to catch up with them. I managed to catch up but with the corset on I was no longer able to breathe properly. I tried my best to keep my breathing quiet but of course Master still heard me. He paused his strides and turned to look back at me,

"Pet, I can hear you breathing heavily, are you alright?"

I didn't want to heed our progress to the tower

"No, I'm *small pant* ok Master."

I smile but he just leans closer,

"Flower you know I hate when you lie to me."

Shit, forgot you can't lie to the god of lies

"I'm sorry Master, it's just that I got distracted and when I looked back you were far so I ran and now my clothes are making it hard to beath"

I took a couple of huge breaths after saying all that at once, I look back to Master to see patient joy.

"Pet if you need some help then ask, you know I hate it when you are uncomfortable or in pain. Now!"

After he said that I was instantly off my feet and in his arms

"Ah! Master!"

I look to see the smile he had

"let's get to the tower while you catch your breath. And when we get there I'm going to get you some proper clothes."

I smiled thankfully and relaxed in his arms, letting my breath even out as he carried me. It has been so long since I had felt safe and even longer since I had proper sleep. Lying in my Master's arms was so calming and warm that I slipped into sleep and before I knew it I was out for the rest of the walk to the tower.

As we landed a little ways from the tower I let go of Shadow and put a gentle hand on her cheek

"We're here now Flower."

I watch as she slowly fluttered her eyes open. I turned and began to follow Thor towards the tower thinking about how I would keep Shadow safe from the others in the building, especially Stark. My thoughts were cut off when I heard heavy breathing coming from behind me. I stop and turn to check on Shadow,

"Pet I can hear you breathing heavily, are you alright?"

I can see her try desperately to steady her breath,

"No, I'm *small pant* ok Master."

I knew she was lying, trying to lie to the god of lies is impossible. I leaned down over her and her smile faltered a bit.

"Flower you know I hate you lying to me."

I saw her eyes widen as the realization dawned on her. She ducked her head down and spoke in a rushed tone.

"I'm sorry Master, it's just that I got distracted and when I looked back you were far so I ran and now my clothes are making it hard to breath"

She took a couple of huge breaths after saying all that at once, I just smiled, she always hated to be a burden of any kind.

"Pet, if you need some help then ask, you know I hate you being uncomfortable or in pain."

I can hear her sigh in relief.

"Now!"

In one swift motion, I pick her up.

"Ah! Master!"

She squeaks as I hold her bridal style and all I can do is smile at her cute noise.

"Let's get to the tower while you catch your breath. And when we get there I'm going to get you some proper clothes."

She smiles and relaxes in my arms as I walk, soon I can feel her breath deepen as she falls into slumber. With all the abuse she must have endured it's no wonder she's tired. I just hold her close and continue to the tower, now more ready to face them and this punishment.
