Scraps of Parchment 2

I spent one night in the collar of Zeb Bronson. I went to the den where I sat in a corner and was pissed off like no other. That night I went to my kennel and decided I would not let the loss of Mallick bother me. I woke in the morning and went to the market and purchased foods for a nice breakfast. I cooked for him. It was a large breakfast with eggs and bacon and toast with fresh fruit, and juice and jam for the toast. He was pleased. He was enjoying the breakfast.. but mostly ignoring me like usual when out of no where... in walks my former owner. In full regalia like he just walked in from some military parade. Instantly tears came to my eyes. I could not believe I was seeing him after all this time. My Master.. He watched me. While speaking to Zeb he watched me a moment but did not call me to him. That was when he noticed my collar.. he was not pleased. He called me to serve him breakfast. I went and got him a platter.. it was alot of confusion after that but in the end I left with him. I went to the metal smith and he replaced my old collar after some minor repairs. Its tighter on my neck then before.. but Im ok with that. That night I slept at Smoke and Mirrors for the first time in a long while. He did not use me. He kissed me and sent me to the mat. He did not even chain me. But he did tell me that he would not be traveling as often.. but his work in Ar would be keeping him busy most days but I would see him more often. I havent seen him since but he has left me notes and reminders that he cares. The Scribe... I saw him at the arena the next night after the fiasco with the collar. He had an odd look on his face when he looked at me as I came into view at the tunnels end. I could feel his eyes on the back of my head when I knelt at the bottom seat of the stands and lowered myself to the floor. He called my name and I looked up at him and he wore a frown. I did know why. Sooner rather then later however I ended up at his side. He pulled me closer.. eventally shifting me so that I was in a better positon at his side. His fingers in my hair.. my cheek to his leg. The semblance of control. I think he gets it. For a few moments I felt calm. Then something happened with Madeline. She started squirming and I mentally paniced. I didnt know why. It happened when I got closer and when he closed his legs around her. I thought she was over the issues with being restrained.. I suppose the large arena with all the people around spooked her. I just pray it wasnt me so close that caused it. When He, Mads and I parted ways.. he told me to come to Stylus before I headed back to the Smoke and Mirrors... I had buisness with someone who had rented me back when I was in Zeb's hands so he told me to come the next day. I suppose I should do that...
