There's four guards escorting the two women, though the front one is unarmed, and most likely the slaver, himself. The other three are armed and armored, looking like sellswords. They're heading towards the outer edges of town, where there's a number of larger, newer buildings, including one with a stable that looks like it's been fairly walled of, to allow storage of the centaur, with less chance of people noticing, which seems to be their destination. A quick check reveals the building is owned by an older woman who managed to make a good fortune looting the battlefields and selling the treasures, starting her own merchant business, though she doesn't seem to be the purchaser; rather, he husband, a member of an older family, who lost most of their wealth, but not their titles, following the war, giving her the status she can't buy. It's clear it's a loveless marriage, given that this is their second home, and she rarely, if ever, visits this one.
