I am NOT lying! You ask if there is something I want to tell you and I say no. That’s the truth! And now you call me a liar? I hope you break your foot! And you shout at me? Pah! Go away!
Punish me? Oh no. You won’t be doing that. No, I shan’t agree to that.
It was someone dressed as that dreadful Kate. They insult me and say I am horrid and stupid. So I shouted back. Why should they be allowed to call me such names? Pah! And now you want to punish me? I hope you swallow and it gets stuck in your throat. Pah. Go away.
Then you will have to find me first. Pah. I know this city better than you. You won’t find me.
I spat on them. I did it and I’m glad they did. Why should they be allowed to insult me? Because I am Eponine? Why can I not defend myself? And now you wish to punish me? No.
I love you enough to punish you, as a mother should.
[She sighs, toying with her prayer beads.]
As you won't listen to me, say that you will not accept due punishment from your dominant, I shall have to tell the city. I imagine your second offense at insulting a Dominant will result in prison.
No - no, but she insulted me. She called me stupid. She said my insides were rotten and I should mix with a donkey’s ass or a rat. It was only spit. It isn’t a prison sentence. Mama, no. You’d have me arrested? For spitting? Mama, no. Please no.
That isn't what I would do, but you say you don't want to be my submissive. So it will be the city that decides the punishment. A second offense could well bring a harsher punishment.

Date: 2022-08-06 07:32 am (UTC)I have been in a place where lies are like air. I know it, I hear it and I will always be better at it than you.
If I have to ask one more time, you will regret it.

Are you coming home?

[Hot, angry tears bead at the corners of Eponine’s eyes.]
Fine.
[It takes her an hour but she comes. She lets herself into Kosem’s apartment and leans against the chair, hiking her skirt up to show her bottom.]
Just do it. Get it over with.

Go sit in the corner.

With a sigh, she hesitantly goes to the stool and sits down.]
What’s happening?

This is far more important.]
