learning your place

As seven trotted along behind Deathbelle he wagged his tail hugging it closer to his body. He made sure to make his boundaries so he didn't annoy his new master too badly. A new master! The excitement was endless he couldn't wait to be told what he could do to please her. That moment came soon enough even though it was a rather difficult one. As she asked him about basics of talking his head tilted he understood language but somehow as a pup hadn't caught up on it as he had been locked away from parents and siblings. Only Boreas would occasionally stop by to feed him after he had been weaned.

He concentrated hard, "Eeemprishh." but he shook his head knowing that wasn't quiet correct. It was frustrating if this was what would make her happy than he must do so. She then said she expected him to be able to say yes and no clearly. His weak vocal chords trained. Seven took a deep breath after a few moments of thinking how to say the words he tried it after obvserving her. "Yes, no!" he brightened smiling. He had wanted nothing more than a master to teach him to speak this was a glorious day for him. However... would she grant him a new name as well? He'd been wearing a number for so long.
