[Eponine's staying with Qi'ra, her dominant. It's not a choice: she's earned herself a rather ferocious punishment. She video calls him back.

By now, her hair is scraped back into a low pony tail, her makeup is simple but flawless, and she wears a black chain collar with a simple leash locked to it around her neck. In contrast to her rather severe look, she's cradling the doll as if she was a little girl.]

Monsieur Castiel, she is the most beautiful, the most perfect doll I have ever seen. I have always wanted one, and now, when I am so sad, you're here to brighten my day. I truly, truly appreciate it. And you know, I would invite you round, or to Vandor. But I am a bad girl and I am being punished. I cannot leave my mistress' side unless she has me on a leash for the next month. I am at her house though, if you would like to visit me? At least, in the evenings I am here. Will you come?
