Red was amused by Amanda's wish, more so because he was sure that this was what she would ask. He predicted that she would want to make a hierarchical relationship with him, but nonetheless, his own statement was what saved his neck, [i]at least for now[/i]. He looked at Amanda's puppy face and laughed. Hard. It was more than he wished for to make his day, especially when he would ruin it.

"Amanda, dear...You should know that I am a man of my word. I have been straightforward my entire life, so I would never say something I didn't mean, even to you. So, with you being straightforward too, even more so than me, I dare say, and you said that the deal [i]I[/i] proposed is sealed, without even trying to make any changes to its rules, I will be your bitch, if, and only if, you tell me everything you know about the Academy and, with five years here, I don't think the information you have accounts to only this much. Now, you can go back on your word and not tell me more, but lose the chance to have a dominating relationship over me, or take your time, probably for days, to exhaust even the last bit of info you have and claim you prize. That's why I love the overly logical crap you made fun of...It gives me the edge. Now, go help yourself with the waffles and, if you still wish to make me your pet, let's talk some more..." he said with an ironic and triumphant smile.
