Bondage queens.

Ximena's ears twitched at Mindy's words. At first she didn't believe it. For one, given what very little intel she has on and experienced with Onyx, she didn't seem the type to take a liking to anyone. That is if it didn't benefit her of course. That's the standard thinking of some other mistresseses she's crossed paths with. What would this reason be for her liking Mindy?

It's right there she finally realized the answer. Mindy's form of self preservation would be becoming highly pain tolerate to Onyx's punishments. The more she could take, the less likely she would be expendable like the other slaves within the few months period. In theory, this would have put her in high regards with Onyx. Over time she would climb up higher in the slave pack into Onyx's personal pet. Who knows, as crazy as it must seem, maybe during those next five years that dragoness fell in love for the first time with Mindy because of this, freed her, and gave her the mansion.

Ximena is right over the clothes she earlier discarded. As she picked them up she realized something. This feat Mindy pulled off must have taken a huge amount of conditioning and concentration on her own part. To keep her sanity in check against all odds equally so. The mere thought of it is astounding. It was almost reminded Ximena of herself when she was imprisoned in the breeding facility from age ten to sixteen. She had to steel herself against all the pain and torture there also, even when she was...was...

She shook it off while holding her stomach. No one can bring back what is lost. She pushed the door open. Yumi is sleeping so soundly and peacefully. It's hard to believe that such a beauty was used and abused by the same Mindy.

She recalled the phonecall Mindy made to Silvia back in the kitchen. The heartfelt words followed by "I love you" really touched her. It reminded her of her times with Azula. Could that be the real Mindy, and the sadistic side of her towards Yumi was a form of regression to her days by Onyx? It makes sense. However, the damage Mindy did to Yumi is so severe that there's no telling how long it will take to recover from.

Ximena walked up to her. She knew she taking a huge risk at this. There's the chance that Yumi will jump up out of fright and start clawing at her. However, she can quickly counteract such an attack. She then looked at the drawer. The collar is right on top of it.

"So, you didn't like the collar?" She finally spoke. "I guess it was a bit much. If you do become mine, I'll see you get one that less technical." She put her hand on Yumi's shoulder. "It's time to wake up. The food is ready."

OOC: No problem, Maero. Take as much time as you need.
