Maximus shook his head as he wasn't one of those apes that would humiliate any human. He didn't see any reason to cause such a reaction. Of course, the things he had planned to do weren't as bad as most did. He was a council member and had his own ways of having a human adjust to his new role. Did he really have to be a lapdog? Why not change his role for a new one.
He handled the rest of his transaction and ended it. He noted his behavior. "Don't try it. You won't like the results." Fortunately, it was a warning he normally would issue. There were patrols. Everywhere. "There are apes who patrol this city and seeing a human running loose is grounds for a chase."

Michel grunted a bit.
He didn’t want to do this still. But at the very least he’d get a lot of time in that fur by the end of this. He crossed his arms a bit in frustration and looked at him. “Whatever. I’ve heard orangutan’s fur is softest at least. I guess I’ll be finding out,” he noted though he still didn’t sound too happy. “I’m
Not walking on a leash either though. It’s humiliating and people know me here.”
Before he could think he added. “Does this really mean I will be in the same room as the king though?” Yes, the king. He could set this all straight the first meeting. Surely he’d find it stupid!

Maximus had a reply that would make him reconsider. "Now, would you rather be carried instead? Clearly, there's no harm in having a leash or a collar on. It's commonplace to have both. If not, then I'd be breaking the law and that is something I do not wish to do. You'll wear both and get used to it. Breaking the law is inadvisable, foolish, and you'll be separated. Imprisoned. I don't think you want that." Maximus probably didn't even need to 'bargain' with a pet, an animal. He would wear one regardless.
He clipped one on anyway and tugged him lightly. "Now, if you don't follow, I can always pick you up and restrict any movement from you." Meaning he would tie his hands together instead.

That puts.
Of course he called him an animal as he put that damn leash on him. How humiliating was that? What was he some kind of... Oh right the council member. He grumbled under his breath and followed begrudgingly at the tug. “You’re certainly blunt,” he said as he stuck his tongue out.
After a moment he thought. “So I’m going to have chores huh? I guess that makes sense. I can’t be sitting on you all day,” he explained. “I’m good for other stuff too y’know. I’m not just a pretty face. I’m good at communicating - even know a few different languages.”
If he had to be a lap dog, so be it. But he definitely didn’t want to just be one of those trophies that only was there for show. “Unless all you want is a silent thing on your lap. Seems to me someone who does that and comes in handy is better.”

Maximus grasped his chin to make him look into his eyes. "Better yet, you'll not be a lapdog. You'll be a trophy human." He knew that his training would take place no matter what. Lapdog. Pah! Humans didn't need to be sitting in an ape's lap. He released his chin and shook his head.
Then he urged him forward, towards the exit. Then towards his limo. He was still thinking of the chores he would assign to him. He would expect a kid to do them. He had to learn responsibility and chores were a good way of keeping them out of trouble. His driver opened the door and he pushed Michel inside the limo. Then he got into the limo and sat down. The driver walked to the driver's side and got into the car. He pulled out and headed to the manor.
Maximus stroked his chin, thinking of the child's first responsibility. "You can bathe yourself and dress yourself I assume?"

Trophy pet?
It was a little confusing for the boy. Was he just going to be trailed around him looking like a beautiful piece to look at. “Well as long as I get some time in that fur. I’ve heard that’s one of the best parts of these arrangements,” he then added. “But what’s a... Trophy pet?”
By the time he’d come up with that response they’d arrived.
Could he bathe and dress himself? Well duh! He wasn’t an infant, what kind of question was that? “I’ve been doing that since I was like, five dude. So I’d hope so.”

Maximus was enjoying this so he humored. "You like furs? What do you want? Bear? Mink? Rabbit? Ferret? Beaver?" He couldn't help but be that way. He smirked. "I guess we'll be dropping by a fur retailer."
He looked up into the sky, noticing the threatening dark clouds, signaling a heavy rain was about to start. Flashes of lightning could be seen in the distance. Not many braved this weather and many stayed indoors. A downpour would do the city great. He hoped that the weather would wait until Michel's bath was done and they were safely indoors.
He thought, "Well, shopping will come later for you since it's about to rain. You don't know what a trophy pet is? It's a pet that's taken care of well, vetted, and has papers."

He must have thought he was so damn funny.
But Michel could only roll his eyes a little at that. Though he definitely was a little peterbed until the ape mentioned exactly what his role here was. So what he was a literal trophy? “So what I’m like a... Literal trophy?” He asked rather unsure of how much he liked that. “Does that mean I have to have my hair done up all fancy and dress all fancy? I’ve heard of those kind of pets those are like the lap dogs that come out everywhere in public right?”
It was a little unnerving - it was like being a dolled up companion pet he figured. And a part of him wanted to bolt out that door before he even got to the bath - rain or no rain. Maybe if he were lucky there would be a window or something in the bathroom. “I don’t even know how to begin to groom myself to a high standard but I guess I can try,” he mentioned. “Where’s the bathroom in this place?”

Maximus nodded, "I'm intending to enter you in human shows. It'll be nice to show you off and you'll enjoy it." He knew he would enjoy being shown off in 'fancy human shows'. But he would dress him up. "I intend to also dress you up in fancy clothes, fancy hairstyles, and shoes. You'll be judged as a 'show dog'. You'll make a name for yourself."
He was thinking of the rewards he would get. That is if the human boy will not be such a brat. "Oh you'll be taken care of from my staff." He had several good apes that would help the human. "Besides, you get treats and a name." He grinned as he sat back, rubbing his head with his large hand. "I will see that you'll get clean first."
But they were not at the manor yet.

Wait? He wanted him to be a show dog! That was what he meant?
Michel looked really nervous now. Show dogs were... Well they all seemed to be held to such a high standards. Apes that kept them expected them to always look their best. Even while in their lap they were supposed to be poised and look magnificent.
“Me... A show dog?” He asked rather nervously. “Wow, I really don’t know what to say.”
He knew that saying anything against it would not end well. Questioning the role an ape gave you would ultimately never lead to anything good. So he bit his lip and kept quiet as the ape spoke. “Your staff will bathe and groom me? Really? That’s going to feel awkward,” he responded honestly. “I thought you’d asked me if I could so they didn’t have to.” Though he supposed this was a different standard at the same time. “I won’t fight it if I at least get to dress myself in whatever clothes I’m given.”
Another thing caught his attention. “My name? What’s wrong with my name?” Though he supposed it was far too sophisticated for a pet. For one.

Maximus sensed his nervousness. He had never been a show dog? Well, he was assigning him a role while it was only temporary. He was a cute kid. "Yes. You're a cute kid and I figured you could use some spoiling and teaching." He was neutral.
Maximus gave a little smile. Maybe the kid would like his role. "My staff can help you dress and look the part if you need it. Otherwise, they'll be on hand. If they have any complaints or say anything negative, you come get me and I'll handle them."
The limo finally arrived at the manor and parked in the garage. The driver turned off the car and went to the back of the car and let the two of them out. Maximus led the way into his manor, through a large door. Inside, it was large. The boy would get lost if he wasn't careful.

Well he guessed that was actually thoughtful.
Though the thought of being bathed and dressed by the apes was on the surface disheartening. He had to think, maybe being pampered wouldn’t be so bad for a change. Especially in a world where he was supposed to be serving them instead. “I Uh... Well I guess they can do the dressing and grooming until I know better,” he explained honestly. “It might actually be relaxing for a change.”
His eyes were fixed on the manor by that point. Damn the place was like a fortress which mean there was definitely no getting out. “Well your place is sure big.”

Maximus knew that he would have to learn how to groom himself. His new life would consist of that. Now if only he could keep his 'pets'. He was thinking of a name for the new pet. Something memorable. Something familiar and easy to remember. He'd come up with a quick name. "You need a new name." He didn't know of one yet. "Something tells me you look like a Spork."
"Spork. Spork." It was becoming much easier. "Alright. Your name is Spork."
His manor would be like a maze to a small boy. He'd need a maid to watch him and ensure he didn't try to escape.

Spork? Like the utensil?
This ape was certainly a weird one. He lagged behind him as they walked a bit, after all, he was worn out from fighting and honestly probably looked like hell. So “Spork” didn’t really argue. “Odd name but I guess whatever floats your boat,” he explained. “I just hope it doesn’t get me laughed at while I’m in your meetings or whatever.”
Now to get his grooming and dressing over with just to at least see what he was work g with.

Maximus shrugged. "I couldn't find a better name for my new human." He figured it could be changed sometime in the future. "Hmm...How about Mercury instead? Or Michel?" He suggested. "Sometimes, it's customary for you to pick a name for yourself. But for now, it was all I thought of."
He noticed he was lagging and plucked him up. Settling him on his shoulder, he walked towards the human part of the manor.
