Human females cannot be trusted.

She killed to escape her former slave master.

Stowed away on my ship. Injected me with poison.

Now she’s been remanded to me for probation.

It’s my job to watch her. Rule over her. Discipline her. 

It’s up to me to decide if she’s worthy of asylum on our planet.

And I’m dragging my feet on the decision.

Because stars know, I like her right where I have her.

In my home. In my bed. 

Kept by me.
