ABASI
The hand on his shoulder was the most contact Loren had given him since their stilted conversation on the topic of slavery had begun; Abasi looked up at the touch, perhaps a little hope in his eyes that it was going to be dropped.
No such luck, however. Loren had more questions, and he tried to look amenable as he gave an answer. "It was shameful, because of my noble family. It is a thing many people do, but there is still an element of disgust held towards those that must take the position." He paused after saying this, tapping his fingers idly against the stall next to him. He knew that wasn't the answer Loren wanted; he assumed the man wanted him to say it was awful, so that Loren could point out that was how the slaves must have felt normally.
But...it had been bad for him because of his noble background. Somehow, he suspected that wouldn't go down well. "...I think it is becoming rapidly clear that the systems in our worlds were different and that perhaps our different viewpoints are due to those different ways the world worked. If you'd like one day I could sit down and explain the entire way the power in Egypt worked; this kind of piecemeal explanation is not serving either of us well."
