As she raised a hand to respond the tent suddenly came to life with chatter, the bulk of which being the sudden protest of them taking Alana as a slave at all. Honestly she had gotten so sucked into the proposal that it hadn't occurred to her that they could just accept the request without forcing her into slavery in the first place. She felt a bit foolish for missing such an obvious point.<br/><br/>However then Mephis of all people snapped back, calling the others out for perceived hypocrisy. However it did make the armored woman cock her head in confusion as she gave them a glimpse into her own backstory, "Umm, I'm sorry, but given the information you just gave us I can't help but feel like you might be on the wrong side of this argument" she said, suddenly feeling very, VERY confused as to why this girl was defending the institution she just admitted she was wrongly sold into after suffering horrific abuse, "oh and for the record I wouldn't necessarily be against purchasing you away from your master as well, if it could be arranged" she added.<br/><br/>Then she turned her attention back to Cain. Again he gave a long breakdown trying to counter their suggestions, but she couldn't help but feel several things stuck out as inconsistent, "Wait, if Lord Balebrook is likely to withdraw from the quest if we don't provide him value, doesn't that mean we've been pigeonhold into offering Alana to him? As far as he's concerned there'd be no functional difference between Alana going to one of us and her not being sold at all, he still doesn't get a slave out of it either way. If you really think this would hamper our chances why did you make it an open offer for one of us to take her in the first place?" she pointed out, "Also you yourself said that Alana has covered your cut of the sale already, and that she was going to be "sold" to us for free. So again whether or not Alana is actually enslaved shouldn't make any difference to you, you're getting the same compensation out of it either way. So why are you now threatening to pull out of the arrangement?" she adds, before turning her attention to the rest of the group, and to Alana in particular.<br/><br/>"While I understand that this slavery business is part of this land's culture. The fact that Alana isn't just going to be enslaved, but condemned to die alongside whoever buys her only makes this whole situation worse. I wouldn't have humored this offer so casually if I had known just how grim it was. If we'd be sentencing her to death by buying her then we should avoid doing so if we can" she said, shifting her masked gaze to Mephis, "I'm sorry, but that goes beyond simply<em>feeling</em>slavery is wrong. Something designed to rob people of their freedom with no escape, to the point it would rather kill them than let them go once their master is no longer around to use them. Frankly it<em>IS</em>wrong. There's no grey to be found here. You may call me a hypocrite if you'd like, but honestly at this point such an accusation would hold no weight to me"
