“Is the young nobleman, Vane's son, who shared an intimate moment with me at the pool, and considers me his companion and lover, waiting for me at the inn as we agreed, so that he can once again take control over me and subject me to his whims?”
YES (Likely, rolled 47)
A hooded stable hand confirms that a young nobleman matching the description arrived at the inn shortly after dusk and has been pacing the common room ever since.
Timothy
The realization that he is waiting there to resume his suffocating hold on me makes my skin crawl.
“As I hear that the young nobleman has waited for me, my heart leaps for joy and I rejoice that my lowly self will once again be given direction by this powerful and admirable young man. My sense of self worth is increased by his obvious desire for me, even though his desire is cruel and lustful. I resolve to do everything in my power to please him and remain under his control, and to accept any chastisement he chooses to give me.”

Timothy stands at the threshold of the hut, his chest rising and falling with a strange, fervent anticipation. The damp night air clings to his clothes, but he hardly notices the chill.
Timothy
He is waiting. That powerful, noble presence... he truly seeks me out. Such a man of status could have anyone, yet he pursues me across the ridge. My heart aches with a devotion I never knew I possessed. If he wishes to humble me, if he desires to see me bow, then I shall offer him no resistance. It is a privilege to be the object of his attention, even if his palm must find my skin to teach me my place.
Timothy turns away from the forest and begins the trek toward the inn, his pace quickening with a newfound, submissive purpose. He leaves the flickering embers of the hut behind, his mind filled only with the image of the nobleman's stern, expectant face.
