Inara was shocked at this seemingly drastic change in your demeanor. You appeared to be a kind and gentle soul before this. Perhaps whatever event lead to you being lost in the desert impacted this change, and perhaps your chance to rest had allowed your true face to finally show. No matter, right now it was clear that you were another man who would fall to his own hubris. And by the looks of it this would come a lot faster than one would typically expect.
Either through arrogance, or simple stupidity, you had made a wish very similar to the one mentioned in the story she told you about literal seconds ago. In fact your wish was even more open ended in its wording. There were so many ways she could fill in the blanks. But her face did not show disdain or amusement at how easily you just signed your life away to her whims. She maintained her serious look and with a gesture, a faint pink glow shot out from her, linking the two of you. It was only visible for a few seconds before fading. “Your Wish is granted my cute master. And as an added bonus you have been granted immortality so that this bond my truly last forever.” You certainly felt an oddly pleasant tingle within you as she said this. Pleased with yourself, you smiled. “You should count yourself lucky, master. As I’ve said before, past masters and mistresses who have made such wishes would lose the bond after their third wish. But I have tied you to both myself and my lamp. Even after your final wish severs our contract, we will still be together until the end of time.
Pleased with this news, you turned your focus to your last wish. Well your last wish before the new arrangement takes over and you keep the genie for yourself. Your size was your current priority. You wanted to stand tall once again. But the recent experience with being held in Inara’s hand and looking up at the impossibly beautiful woman, you certainly saw the fun in being small. Something you may choose to indulge in again. And why stop there. Maybe you could be a giant someday too. Standing tall over the frightened masses and toying with those who harmed you over the years. “I’m ready to make my third wish.” You spoke up to inara in a commanding tone. The genie was surprised how quickly you made up your mind. Granted, with your perceived understanding of your situation and the obvious issue with your size, it wasn’t hard to imagine you’d want that addressed sooner. “I wish for the ability to control my size.” You said in a calm tone. With a nod, Inara simply said, “granted. And with that, our initial contract is now completed.”
You didn’t feel any different, was the genie trying to pull something? But with a simply thought, you felt yourself double to 4 inches tall. It worked. Thinking again you shrank down to one inch, smiling at the results. “You did very good genie. I’ll be sure to reward you for your cooperation.” You spoke up to her as you started growing up to your original height. “Oh I’m sure you will, Inara said cryptically. Before you could question this you suddenly stopped growing. You were no more than maybe 6 inches tall, but try as you might you could not go beyond that. “Genie! What is the meaning of this?!” You shouted up to her in anger. Inara did not seem the least bit intimidated by this display of power from the living doll and moved in closer, why, master, I granted your wish exactly as you presented it, granted I had to throw in a few reasonable limits to it.” You saw a grin forming on her lips. This genie thinks she could double cross you. “I will not stand for this, genie, now fix my wish, properly!” But she did not budge. “Genie, are you forgetting my second wish? You belong to me, remember?” But to your surprise, Inara simply laughed. You’d probably consider the laugh beautiful if it wasn’t making you both scared and angry in this instance. “I remember the wish, little one. But clearly you don’t. ‘I wish for you to be mine forever.’ Cute little wish. Lots of blanks I had to fill in. Your mortals and your possessive terms, always thinking ‘mine’ is enough to convey intention. Lucky for you, I used my imagination and filled in the blanks for you. So from now until eternity, I will be your ______.”
