The clock ticked lightly in his palm. Aside from the soothing voice it's the only thing you heard. The tears have dried on your face as you fall into the perfect trance."Perhaps it's time to open that door, when you wake you'll be no older than the age of four. Your fear floats away with your ability to disobey. With no more drama you'll be happy with your papa." The rhymes fall from his mouth in a proper spell to enchant you.And they do, perfectly. A smile graces Jervis' face when he looks at you. So long he'd spent looking for his little bunny, and yes, you weren't currently a willing participant, but you will be. It was just so nice to finally have you in his grasp. Waiting ever so patiently for his loving.When he released you from your trance you blinked rapidly and looked solely at the floor. A once adult mind shrunken down to a much younger one, and it's clearly taking a second for you to gather yourself."Little Rabbit, won't you look at me?" He speaks softly to you.Oh, your shiny little doe eyes could very well be the death of him. He can't help the smile that grows larger when you reach your hands up at him.The whispered request, a simple demand "Up." You say to him.And, of course, he raises you into his lap. Jervis can't help the fascination that runs through him when he looks at you. Even if you were simply playing with the puffy bow tie he wore today.You were so content like this. He knew you'd never regress on your own, but he wished you would. Can't you see this was so much better for you than that nasty day-job you kept, than those terrible friends, in that wretched apartment you claimed as home? He was your papa and he would care for you even if you didn't think you needed it."Play?" You ask sweetly tugging on his tie again."Of course, my bunny," Your Papa answers enthusiastically. "What would you like to do, hm?"Excitement lights in your eyes. "Tea Party!" You bounce slightly.Jervis' smile doesn't falter for a single second. He knew he'd picked right when he chose you. A perfect little rabbit for his hatter.
