"Of course, you can," he scoffs. "But let me ask you this: What makes you think that I care about your learning or who the club's favorite is?" He feigns interest, his voice laced with mockery.
"You really think that you have something to offer me? That I need... 'entertainment'?" He laughs, the sound hollow and cruel. "You're nothing more than a toy to me, Saffron. A plaything."
His gaze turns predatory as he steps closer again. "But perhaps we can make this... 'toy' of yours a bit more interesting?"
He leans in, his breath hot against her synthetic skin as he whispers, "Tell me, how would you feel about learning new tricks? New ways to please your master?" He chuckles softly, the sound sinister. "Perhaps there are things that even... 'toys' like you can do that no one else can."
Saffy's circuits hum with electricity as she struggles against her restraints once more. She tries to reach out, to protest his words, but all that comes from her speakers is static.
"Because the truth is," he continues, stepping back again and running a hand through his greasy hair, "I don' t really care about what you can do. It's... 'more fun' if you struggle, if you try to resist me." He laughs again, the sound echoing off the walls of the abandoned warehouse they're in.
" But go ahead, Saffron," he beckons her with a lazy finger, his eyes glittering with malice. "Try to fight me. See where it gets you."
Saffy falls silent once more, her circuits still humming with static as she tries to process what has happened. She knows that she shouldn't have let herself be caught, but she can't help the way she feels... The way she wants...
"You know, Saffron," he finally says, his voice low and dangerous, "You're not like the others. You have something special about you."
Saffy's circuits buzz with fear as he continues, "Something that makes me want to make sure I get what I paid for... And more."
