“Okay..”, Markus mumbled softly. Doors with knobs inside a home were rare anyways. He didn’t feel like he’d be walking around either, he didn’t feel very secure about it. Being here, being treated nicely.
“What would happen if I did?..”, he asked quietly.
Agnes rubs his shoulder comfortingly. “Alright. Don’t worry, you won’t get hurt if you do, you’re safe here. But, you might get reprimanded if you go inside and touch anything. It’s my life’s work.” She pats his head.
“Don’t worry about angering me. I promise, I won’t hit you. It was done enough to me, anyways. I don’t want anyone else to know that pain by my hand.”
“Reprimanded?..”, Markus asked, not really understanding what that meant. He still looked a little tense whenever she pet him, though didn’t have a bad reaction to it.
He nodded lightly at her words. She wouldn’t get angry at him. He’d try and stay out of the room.
