My promise to you:

... Not my finest moment.

-at is not rated for both your weights. Nor is it waterproof.

... I am going to wait in the observation lounge until you are done, since you cannot be convinced to relocate.

// We saw a little of this in All Good Things, but I'd like to think there's also a special someone in that future along with the small cloister of cats, too 💖

// Insist they have no feelings about it, but curiously they find themselves running over each interaction in detail to try and figure out where it went wrong.

This is clearly for studying human behavior and idiosyncracies, not a weird form of coping, no sir.

See to it that the Ambassador is treated to all the comfort they require.
Yes, Ensign, including yourself. We would not risk losing this diplomatic relationship over your reluctance.
If they would like to see you in a state of undress, so be it. You should be honored they find you so pleasing.

My little dove, I would advise against struggling. The moon is not yet at its apex, and we cannot have you tire before the ceremony starts.

You will make the most lovely centerpiece to the altar...

// would probably think I'm rather unremarkable by human standards (in the 24th century), but at least I'd make for good conversation.

Might be intrigued by how much I swear causally when comfortable with folks, and absolutely confounded by my blend of slang.

If you continue with that behavior, I will have no issue with disciplining you right here in front of your peers.

I doubt you want them to see your bared buttocks draped over my knee, blooming pink from your penance.

Anxiety?

I am incapable of feeling any form of anxiety.

I am, however, aware of how my mannerisms may be off-putting to some and plan ahead accordingly. I have found this to be a great benefit when interacting with those who are not familiar with myself when certain behaviors are more controlled.

There is my good pet... Just one more finger, can you do that for me?

Of course you can, I have trained you for this.

There we are, breathe for me, in... Now out.

You are doing so well, just a little further...

... I see now that I may have to be more even in my application of the paddle. Your right cheek is a much pinker hue than your left.

Let us rectify this before I continue with my work.

An interesting choice of uniform, ensign. Are you aware that I can tell what color lace you are wearing?

As you can see, Commander, with the restraints tied thusly, they are secure for transport without risk of escape or injury.

That this particular configuration also displays their assets is merely a coincidence.

Shall I demonstrate for you some time? My pet is rather amenable to private lessons.

Heel.

Good pet.

Now, show them the beauty that I alone possess...
