Her gaze fell on the promiscuously presented Alana, and when the initial bashfulness of staring at a naked mongrel wore off, any fluster was replaced with deep sympathy. This woman had lost her home, lost her people, and her only form of retaliation was to sell herself off, to humiliate herself and bind herself to the service of some stranger. Slavery was strictly forbidden in Atlantica, and it was one of the few things about the kingdom's culture her father unequivocally agreed with. He had told her how his own world's history was stained with slavery, creating deep wounds that could ripple out for hundreds of years later. As such Serana was generally appalled by this whole situation, though even more so because of how Alana felt the need to do it to herself.<br/><br/>She wondered if there was a way she could help. Obviously just protesting the act of slavery wouldn't accomplish much here, nor would attempting to "save" her in the more traditional sense. That's when Cain mentioned someone being able to buy her outright. He was true in saying no one present had the cash on hand to do so, save for Mephis's owner apparently, but..."What if someone besides Lord Balebrook could cover it?" she suddenly asked, briefly pausing, as if unable to believe she had spoken up herself, "It's true I don't have that kind of gold on hand, but I also have means for such a transfer to be arranged...for far more than an upstart merchant could vouch" she added. The idea of asking to use royal money to buy a slave was...well, problematic in more ways than one, but she was sure if her father knew the situation he'd agree to it. After all slavery was illegal in Atlantica, meaning if she did buy this woman she could eventually be freed once she returned home. There was no telling whether this mysterious merchant would be so altruistic.
