"As you wish," Alexa says while letting go of my foot gently.
"Good girl, you deserve a prize. What do you want as your reward?" I ask, gently stroking the elven girl's hair.
"I-if I may be so rude, m-may I, please have my bow back? Only at the mercy of my esteemed Master, though," Alexa says, kowtowing even deeper than before.
"Oh, you know how to please your master… Well, I guess you can have it back," I say, tossing the wooden bow back to her.
She immediately lifts her head and tries to grab it, but I stop her by yanking her hair and pulling her face towards me.
"Did I say you could pick it up yet?"
"N-n-no! Please forgive my rudeness!" Alexa shouts, still eyeing her bow.
"Hmmm… it seems you'll need double the training once we get back," I mutter while letting go of her.
