So Chapter 2 is here, Slightly shorter than the first one although I had a lot of fun writing this chapter so I certainly hope you enjoy it and as always any feedback is welcome

Magnus awoke yet he barely felt like he had, He could feel a very soft and comfortable bed upon his back, His eyes were still closed and his head felt very fuzzy as if he were still half asleep and he felt more relaxed than he could remember ever feeling before, sleeping felt more tempting than it ever had before, It had changed quickly from being something he felt was a nuisance for the time it took up to something that felt better then ever, Magnus felt as if he could just rest here for hours, He felt as if he probably could wake up fully if he wanted to but just couldn’t think of a reason to desire such a thing.

His internal dilemma was interrupted when he suddenly heard distant movement around him, something that he felt would normally cause great anxiety yet oddly he felt none whatsoever, He soon began to hear distant voices, It sounded extremely far away and Magnus couldn’t make out most of it yet he was able to understand a few sentences here and there. “You sure you want to take on a second floret even one so…” “Needs a gentle vine…” “Would make a cute connivent or perhaps even pinnate…” Despite the immense relaxation, Magnus felt his curiosity perked at the odd sentences he was able to overhear yet despite his desire to listen in more Magnus quickly found himself drifting back into the black oblivion of sleepfulness. 
 

Magnus eventually regained consciousness the fuzziness in his head very much gone, He opened his eyes slowly and saw that he was in a spacious white room, It seemed to resemble that of an especially large hospital room, Magnus looked around and saw off to his left that Mabel was lying on another bed on the other side of the room, Somehow knowing that he hadn’t been left on his own was reassuring to him although she still seemed to be asleep.


Magnus tried to get up only to find that his arms were bound to his bed, He tried to use force to overpower the binds but soon lay back down defeated. Mere seconds after giving up he heard the door to the room open and a large purplish Affini entered the room and Magnus felt a somewhat reassuring vine run across his arm.
 

Magnus sighed and then spoke out “Why am I stuck here?” He asked, “You’re not stuck here little one” The Affini reassured, “Some Terrans have woke up panicked after being rescued and we can’t have them hurting themselves in that distress can we?” Magnus weakly nodded in response “But for a well-behaved little Terran like you we can get rid of them” They said as their vines drifted over the binds on his arms as they came loose,

Magnus inspected his arms expecting to see marks from the restrains yet when he inspected them he found not even a bruise from them, He looked up and saw the Affini still looking at him so he began to sit up in his bed “Thanks” He said and he quickly felt a vine cautiously pet his head in response, Magnus found it strange but on a certain level he found that he enjoyed it yet he felt far too embarrassed to indicate that approval and so suppressed it as best he could appearing indifferent to it.
 

“Who… are you?” Magnus asked next, a long list of questions in his head, He found being left in a situation in which he had minimal understanding to be immensely frustrating. “I’m Exdela Rine Third Bloom, little flower and you are on Thalia’s Grace a small warship” They explained. “So your the one I was talking to,” Magnus said, more of a statement than a question. “That’s right petal, and when you and my precious Mabel were rescued from those nasty feralists I knew I had to come and see you both” Exdela explained, her vines extending to pet a sleeping Mabel.

“What happens to me now then?” Magnus asked nervously, He had heard plenty of rumours about what the Affini did to their captives, Some had said that all their captives were enslaved in mines or even eaten by the Affini. “Well that’s up to you Magnus,” They said somewhat gently, “You’ve been well-behaved petal so you could become an independent citizen of the Affini Compact” they explained seeming almost as nervous as Magnus felt “Or… Well… I would certainly be overjoyed if you became my Floret,” They said glancing over to the other bed “Mabel’s Connivent” They added before looking down at Magnus rather excitedly. 
 

“I don’t really know what a Floret is” Magnus began “I mean I remember Mabel said that they were pets but I don’t really…” Magnus was cut off by a vine gently hushing him “A floret is someone owned by a loving Affini, Florets are cherished and adored by their owner who helps them bloom and become their best selves, Their owner takes care of them so they don’t have any concerns or fears or stresses ever again” 

“What do you get out of that?” Magnus asked a little cynically “Well we get to dote over and guide a beloved pet” Exdela responded gently petting Magnus’s head with another vine. Magnus’s mind rushed with possibilities, Exdela made it sound pretty nice but the whole idea of being owned by someone sounded very concerning and Magnus still felt somewhat suspicious of the Affini. 
 

Exdela seemed to notice his apprehension “I don’t mean to rush you little one, You can become an independent citizen while you think it over” Magnus nodded in response relieved that he didn’t have to make such a significant decision so suddenly.

Magnus then looked over to Mabel sleeping in the other bed, He felt oddly protective of this girl he had barely known and didn’t really understand why “What about Mabel?” he asked although he wasn’t entirely sure why. 
 

“Well, she volunteered to be domesticated dear Magnus so I’ll be taking her home… assuming she hasn’t changed her mind of course” Exdela explained a slight pinch of worry in her tone as she moved over to the front of Mabel’s bed “She seemed pretty excited about it back on the ship” Magnus decided to say hoping to reassure Exdela and in response, Exdela’s vines moved almost eagerly around Mabel.

Both of their attentions were suddenly diverted when Mabel started lightly moving, appearing to be waking up, after a few seconds of suspense “Mistress!” She quickly exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Exdela as best she could as vines gently but tightly wrapped around her and lifted her out of her bed and began to lie her down within her vines, “I was so scared trapped on that ship” she said as she began to hug into Exdela’s vines even stronger. 
 

“Your safe Petal, Forget those wide eyes fears. I’m here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you.” Exdela sang as she used her vines to pet and dote on Mabel and Magnus felt conflicted, On the one hand, he felt a tinge of envy, The sense of safety and bliss that Mabel seemed to feel was alluring but on the other, he felt somewhat relieved to still have his autonomy and right to make his own decisions, The Terran Accord had insisted for decades that pain and strife despite their unpleasantness helped people grow as individuals and Magnus couldn’t help but feel that there was an element of truth in this idea but his philosophical musings were interrupted when he was pulled back to reality as he felt Exdela move over to him Mabel still in her vines. 

“Would you like me to guide you to your hab dear?“ She asked as Magnus rose to his feet, Before he could consider a response he fell forward, his legs feeling weak and bucking the moment he put weight on them, quickly being caught by Exdela’s vines “Oh, I’m so sorry dear I should have realized that your legs might have atrophied” She said as she tenderly placed Magnus back onto his bed “Would you permit me to carry you little petal?” She asked as Magnus loudly sighed and then nodded.
 

Magnus felt very awkward and embarrassed as he was slowly picked up by Exdela’s soft vines and placed into a sitting position within them near Mabel, She still seemed somewhat dazed with her eyes demonstrating a look of awe and barely seemed to notice anything other than her owner-to-be, It made Magnus feel kind of nervous, He feared that being a floret would just be a life of dazing drug induced awe, never again able to feel mentally sharp or pursue any intellectual interests, The post-scarcity society that they advertised sounded great but what’s the point if your too blissed out to consider what you can do with the opportunity?

Magnus’ thoughts were interrupted as Exdela left the room he had been in and began moving at a shockingly quick speed, Magnus began to fear accidentally falling from Exdela’s vines but felt them hold him tightly which quickly erased the fear.
 

He was able to look around and the sheer amount of sights was overwhelming, The ship was huge and seemed to continue onward forever, Magnus assumed that it must have an end somewhere but wherever it was it certainly wasn’t visible to him and he began to question how anyone was ever able to navigate around inside a ship of such a size.

As they quickly travelled down what seemed like a standard street they began to pass by what Magnus believed must be various Florets and their Affini owners, They all wore collars and were being led around on leashes and most of them had the same dazed look that Mabel had although Magnus’ concerns were partially eased by the presence of a few who seemed to be mostly lucid although they seemed few and far between.
 

“Why do they all look so disoriented and dazed?” Magnus eventually built up the confidence to ask “Well their xenodrugs cause a drop in mental and physical dexterity, an unintended side effect I’m afraid, Although it does make them look adorable” Exdela explained sweetly. 

“What do the Xenodrugs do?” Magnus inquired, he had, had to proscribe people Terran Drugs before although he had always been reluctant to do so and there was always a stigma attached to the long-term use of even legal drugs in the Terran Accord so the topic piqued his interest quickly. 
 

“Well, that depends on what you want out of them sweetheart” Exdela replied sounding oddly excited “There are recreational Xenodrugs which are very popular among Florets, They can also help deal with anxiety or trauma and there are also Xenodrugs to help you sleep and plenty of others dear.” She explained before adding “Would you like to try any Petal? You could try a low dose of one.”

Magnus nearly refused outright but suppressed himself for a few seconds as he looked around, He saw the dazed look on the florets around him but also the happy smiles they had on their faces “How long would it last?” He asked “Oh, only an hour sweet flower” Magnus still felt worried even with Exdela’s reassurance that it would only be temporary but after considering it for a few seconds he in an all too familiar tactic for him decided to ignore his fear and nodded to Exdela as a vine quickly rushed in front of his mouth “You can inhale this one dear” Exdela stated as the vine wrapped around his mouth and Magnus almost instinctively took a deep breath.
 

For a moment he felt nothing and he considered if perhaps the dose was too low to have a noticeable effect but just as Magnus prepared to ask Exdela he felt a vine caress his arm as it lit up in pleasure and he spontaneously found himself leaning into the vine as it moved away “That’s a light Class A dear, It’ll make any touch much more pleasurable” Exdela explained before lightly petting his head Magnus took a moment to try to consider the implications of such a drug but his thoughts were quickly blown away as Exdela began to coddle and dote over him with her vines patting him all over. 

“How do you feel Petal?” Exdela asked as she kept up a barrage of caressing and petting “Niiice” Magnus replied slightly slurred as he was slowly reduced to mewling as he lay in her vines comfortably, Exdela smiled down at him “It seems to be having a stronger effect than I expected Flower” 

As Magnus lay facing a plethora of pleasure as Exdela’s vines caressed him he heard Mabel speaking and with great difficulty, he was able to focus on it enough to make it out “He’s so adorable” He heard Mabel say in a somewhat pouting way “You can have some too once we sign your contract precious Floret to be” He heard Exdela reply “Dear Magnus probably won’t be far behind” He heard Exdela continue in a very mischievous way before her vines stopped caressing Magnus enough to allow him to speak easier “Hey, I’m still not sure about becoming a Floret” Magnus spoke although in an oddly lighthearted way “You accepted Xenodrugs from me without much contention dear, Many sophonts take a while to accept any willingly, And you took to them very well, Did you even notice when we arrived at your hab?” Magnus looked confused for a second before looking around, He hadn’t considered his surroundings for a while but when he took the time to actually look he noticed that they weren’t moving anymore but were instead inside a large room with Exdela sitting on an oversized couch.

“You didn’t notice did you” Exdela spoke after seeing Magnus’ expression in a partially mocking yet playful way “It’s rare to see a Class A have such a strong effect although it seems to be wearing off now” 
 
“How long was I like that?” Magnus asked a hint of concern in his voice “Only a few minutes dear, Although I might add that you were extremely cute to dote over like that” Exdela replied whilst petting Magnus a few more times. 
 

“How much does all this cost? I mean this room looks huge” Magnus questioned “It’s all free dear, The Affini Compact is post-scarcity remember” Magnus nodded in response “I remember hearing that but I suppose I’m still somewhat surprised that it’s actually real” Magnus explained in a rather somber fashion, “So this whole room is mine?” He asked still sounding somewhat surprised “Of course dear, Well until you decide to become my Floret at least” Exdela added teasingly, Magnus softly laughed in response “I’ll consider it I assure you”

Magnus simply lay in Exdela’s vines for a short time unsure of what to do or say and enjoying how relaxed he felt in that position, It felt nice to be able to simply relax for a while without the concerns and demands of daily life and he supposed for a while that this is probably what people are attracted to when becoming a Floret but he couldn’t help but feel that it sounded like a weak option to simply decide that you can’t deal with the responsibilities of life and to put them all in someone else’s hands, Considering it simply began to feel like considering admitting to failure in life and it filled Magnus with a sense of anxiety.
 

His thoughts were interrupted when Exdela suddenly moved a few vines suddenly and pulled out a small piece of paper “Now seems like a perfect time for you to sign your Domestication Contract, Mabel” Magnus looked around for Mabel having lost track of where she was since the Class A’s and saw her sitting down on another couch surrounded by vines and her face seemed to light up in glee quickly when she heard Exdela’s words “Normally we’d probably wait a few days but after the incident with those nasty feralists I think It might be better to speed it up for you Flower.

Mabel was swiftly given the paper and a pen along with it and she excitedly began to check off parts of it before writing something on it and then looking upwards “Mabel Rine First Floret, It sounds nice” She said with a smile on her face as Exdela’s vines stroked her head “Now I have a gift for you my precious Floret” Exdela said as her vines slowly revealed a white collar with a floral design engraved on it, Mabel seemed like she could barely contain her excitement as Exdela’s vines slowly placed it around her neck and closed it shut with an audible click sound and Mabel quickly found herself rapidly running her hands across collar desperate to feel every part of it.
 

Magnus watched the scene in contemplation, Just seeing another Terran in a collar was a very strange experience but he couldn’t deny that Mabel and Exdela both seemed extremely happy at the situation even if it did seem strange to him, He wanted to think about it more but he soon began to feel a certain weariness come over him, The kind of weariness that would have previously cause him great annoyance yet with his new experiences with the Affini had replaced with more of an excitement “Is there any bed in this Hab?” He asked, “Of course, there is Petal” Magnus heard as he quickly found himself lifted up and moved around by Exdela’s vines as he was moved into another room with a large white bed in it which he was gently placed upon, “Would you like any Xenodrugs to help you sleep, Flower?” Magnus thought about it for a second, He absolutely did but he felt somewhat embarrassed and didn’t want to seem too eager so he decided to respond with a terse “I suppose so” but he felt that his eagerness might have slipped through “We’ll visit tomorrow for a wellness check, Ok Petal?” Magnus felt curious as to what that meant but sitting on this bed made him feel far too tired to question it so he simply replied with a nod as he felt Exdela’s vine inject a Xenodrug into his arm “Sweet dreams precious Floret-to-be” He heard as he faintly felt her vines position him into a more comfortable position as he fell relaxed into some much-desired sleep.
