ABASI
"I assumed you believed that and I will not try to convince you away from it." Abasi had no interest in proselytising his position to the people of the Hollowed Grounds.
Loren did not seem to want to look at him anymore, a bad sign indeed; Abasi had not predicted that this could have been such a large issue. If he had known he would have simply not mentioned it.
But he was here now, and Loren was questioning his people's beliefs and traditions, and he could not sit by and let that happen, even if Loren was important to him. "Of course I didn't see it. It happened before time, when the Gods were making the Earth. How you think you know better than I about my own world I don't know. It is a fair system - men serve until they can be more. My own father, to pay a debt, placed himself into servitude for a time. Many slaves buy their own freedom or own houses." He really was beginning to feel defensive now, sensing that Loren did not think of Egypt as the oasis of intellect and civilisation that Abasi did.
