Walking into the bathroom, Phil turned on the lights and waited a moment to see if his slave would follow on his own. Turning on the faucets he made sure that the water was warm enough. Hearing a small whimper from behind him he began to speak. "The tub will take a few moments to fill up, while it's doing so I want you to take off your clothes. I will leave some towels out for you and see about finding some clothes that may fit you better than the ones you currently have. I will give you privacy in the bath if you wish, feel free to drain and refill it as often as you need to; you're rather dirty so I expect that it'll take a couple of baths to clean you up nicely. There's soap and shampoo in there already but if you need more just ask", Phil finished gently before turning around and excusing himself from the bathroom.
Heading down the hallway to his room, Phil shut the door behind him before sinking to the ground behind it. Rubbing his hands against his face he couldn't help but think about how bad he felt for the poor boy. Dan hadn't stopped crying since he bought him and losing his temper earlier certainly didn't help that any. Maybe he should just offer to bring him back if he was so miserable here...was he really that bad of a master?
Shaking off the negative thoughts, he stood back up and went over to his wardrobe. Opening up the doors he looked at all of his clothes before settling on the smallest shirt he owned- a plain black one, and a pair of pajama pants with a drawstring to help hold them up. Grabbing a pair of boxer shorts and some socks out of his drawers he went back to the bathroom and knocked on the door. Hearing a yelp of surprise from the other side of the door, he heard Dan quickly scrambling around before he heard a loud banging noise and a scream of pain.
Phil opened the door and quickly went inside, throwing the pile of clothes on the toilet as he passed by. Surveying the bathroom quickly he could see the water still running in a soon to be overflowing tub and ran to shut it off, draining some of the water as he did so. Turning back around to try to find his slave, he saw him fully clothed and huddled in the corner holding his shoulder. "Dan are you alright? Let me see your arm!" Phil demanded anxiously. Without waiting for a response he grabbed his arm, inspecting it for damages. Luckily it didn't seem to be too bad, it was red and would definitely bruise later on but at least it wasn't broken.
Sighing in relief Phil let go and stepped back to look at him. Sitting down on the floor he crossed his legs and bit his bottom lip deep in thought. Perhaps he really should just offer to bring the boy back. He definitely didn't seem to be happy here with him. It was pathetic really, not even a slave wanted to be kept around him. "Dan? Why are you not in the bath? Why was the water still running, it nearly overflowed all over the floor? Is something wrong? Look...I know I'm not the master that you were probably expecting to get and I know that I'm not the greatest at this. I mean bloody hell you haven't stopped crying since I bought you! Do you not want to be here, is that it? Cuz I...I can bring you back if you'd like? Maybe, well maybe you'd end up with someone better at this than me" he finished softly, his voice barely a disappointed whisper. He didn't know what he was expecting to happen but all he was met with was silence. Putting his head down in shame Phil sighed one more time and stood up from the floor. "A-alright. I'll...I'll bring you back. They're closed for the day so you'll need to spend the night but I'll return you in the morning. I'm sorry that I was such a bad master that you didn't want to stay. Don't worry, I won't make you stay where you don't want to" he finished bitterly, self hatred clearly evident in his voice. Turning around he reached for the doorknob and hesitated for a second before looking at his slave one last time. "If...if you change your mind I'll be in my room". And with that Phil shut the door behind him and continued down the hallway slamming the door to his room behind him as he passed through.
