ABASI
Flirtations were not meant to last during this dance, it seemed - as odd as it felt to be having a discussion about the morals of slavery during a festival dance, Abasi had learnt to roll with anything that came in Caido. All sorts of things were thrown at him, after all; he did try to direct himself and Loren more to the edge of the crowd, by a fence, where it was a little less central to the eyes of any passers by.
"Well..I..." Abasi tried to actually gather the thoughts he needed to answer the question; it was not just one simple answer. He had grown up, his entire life, in a world where slavery had simply been an accepted part of the world; those that opposed it were either slaves themselves (therefore just whining) or dreamy-eyed philosophers (therefore just weak men who did not understand society). To have come to this world and find that it was suddenly universally seen as a moral wrong had been rather a shock.
Yet, it had been a viewpoint he had seen the benefits of. "You must understand it is difficult for me to change my ideas on something I knew my entire life. Yet...I see why the people here are so against the idea and I must admit their arguments hold some weight. I think it is something I need to consider more, but I'm hardly going to demand slaves for myself here." He tried to laugh, just a little, hoping to lighten the mood. "I am not in favour of it, at least."
