We need to talk. I've had these boots a little while now - and they're starting to get a little worn around the soles. You said you'd be a good slave - a good slave would have already have repaired them or got me a new pair; but you've been neglecting them. Get closer and have a good look. I love these boots, they're comfortable and flattering - but now they're damaged, I can't have that. There's a lot of wear and tear, they're in need of a good polish. You said you'd do anything, and said you'd be a good slave. A good slave shouldn't need to be asked and keep assertive in making sure my boots are in pristine condition. Sometimes you might need to lick them clean, but sometimes they need a proper polish - with boot polish - your tongue can't do that! Perhaps... you should wear my raggy boots... have a good sniff first, they're well worn and stink. So, put them on - you can walk around in my smelly, raggy boots - see how you like it.
