Captain Noir raised an eyebrow in curiousity, eyeing Altair, the only one who piped up. "Oh? Do we have a brave one here? Hmm... I'll answer your question. Badly trained slaves react like mad cattle when given even a whiff of freedom." he answered, in a soft but rugged tone. "But it seems you are not of that breed... I'm impressed you can speak the common tongue of the Weiss kingdom. Although, it seems you are a part of the rebellious breed... I can see what sort of message you mean to send me by your willful standing." He laughed at Altair's gesture, coming forward and staring up at the slave. He had no particular care that the slave was taller than he was. His eyes found Altair's, and he stared the slave down. "You have a bravado I admire." Without another word he slammed his fist below the slave's ribs, forcing him to sit back down. "Bravado I may admire, but I don't desire."<br/><br/>He backed up, watching the other slaves. "Can any of you get up or must I find the keys?" he asked. He backtracked to the staircase and saw a rusty nail jutting out of a beam of wood, on which hung a ring of keys. Fortunately for him, he hadn't thrown the keys overboard with a corpse. He stuck the key ring onto his belt, walking back to where the slaves still sat. "Now, which one of you wants to be the first to be released?"<br/><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 194, 194)"></span></span>
