"Good afternoon Master James. May I come in?"
James paused, momentarily dumbfounded. Stamding at the door was a beautiful porcelain doll in an old fashioned black and white maids uniform. She was holding a rack of potions.
"Sorry, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Lucinda" the doll smiled disarmingly.
Lucinda really was stunning to look at. She had the appearance of one of those incredibly expensive custom made dolls rich parents had made for their children that were designed to look as realistic as possible in everything other than how flawless and idealised they appeared. Lucinda was no exception with long, dark hair, big brown eyes, full lips, pretty refined features and a perfectly proportioned body.
"Of course come in Lucinda" James answered eventually.
"Thank you" Lucinda smiled warmly as she entered and set the potions down on a table nearby.
"So, um. To what do I owe this visit?" James asked to break the silence, unable to believe he was making conversation with a doll. Or that he was starting to feel self conscious about his nudity in front of one.
"Mistress Elspeth sent me to live with you ,make you comfortable and respond to your needs and desires" Lucinda explained "She wants you to be happy living here"
"Oh, I see..: James wasn't sure quite how to respond to that. How long was Elspeth planning on keeping him in this dolls house?
"Mistress Elspeth hopes you find my appearance pleasing" Lucinda continued, she sounded a little nervous as she spoke "If not, please tell me now and I can be replaced with a living companion more to your taste"
"No, you look great" James answered quickly, appalled Elspeth would make the poor girl ask such a question.
"Then it's settled. I'll move in right away" Lucinda smiled with obvious relief "Before I go and fetch my things, do you have any questions?"
James had about a thousand.
