ABASI
Abasi realised, as Loren spoke, that he probably would have done better to not continue at all, but he had, so now he had to try and save himself from the hole he was digging.
"No. I would not ask you to simply accept any of my beliefs. You are a grown man with your own thoughts and experiences, after all." Besides, as he'd said, he had no plans to gain any slaves, nor encourage the practice in Caido. It wasn't his place anyway, and he had found he didn't need them. Whether or not the true moral wrongs of the concept had reached him was a different matter, but there was no intention.
He leaned back against the fence with crossed arms. "I understand the reasoning people hold against it. And in fact, perhaps in this world, I would agree. It seems here people are made equal, even the Abandoned have a chance at redemption. Where I came from..." With a sideways glance to Loren, Abasi wondered if what he was about to say would make it all worse. "Those suited to a life of servitude were made from the mud and unworthy of the higher things in the land. To live a good life and be obedient was a chance to rise in your next life. I am sure I have had previous lives of working for others, to have been born where I was."
