I am sorry as well. I know that you only meant to help, and to do what you felt was right." And, looking at the redhead... "And you as well, Miss Thistle. I'm sorry for going a bit overboard on you both."<br/><br/>Josephine's words gave the dhampir a moment's pause. The armored woman was right, after everything she'd been through, she certainly wasn't one to defend slavery, especially not with her own eventual goal of finding some way to free herself... Had she been defending it? Admittedly, there was that comment she'd made about her life being better now than it was in Atlantica... She'd been twisting the truth a bit, there, trying to shake everyone else's certainty a little, more than anything else, but it probably had come off as her picking a side.<br/><br/>"There's a little more to my story than what I've shared so far, but... I think I let my emotions get the better of me and spoke in haste, without properly considering my words," She responded, bowing her head to the other woman. "The instant it was made clear that Alana is up for sale, there were a few people in the room who seemed to be very bothered by the idea, and expressed a willingness to go to great lengths to try and save her from that fate. Meanwhile, I've been a slave the entire time anyone here has known me, and my owner is the very man Lord Nyrood was hoping to sell Alana off to, and yet no one even batted an eye. It was my annoyance at that... discrepancy that I was trying to express, more than anything else."<br/><br/><em>I actually think that you and I are largely in agreement when it comes to our opinions on slavery,</em>She added in, making use of her telepathic talents now so that these words would be for Josephine only.<em>I don't want to say that out loud in front of Lord Nyrood, however. There are a few things he could do to make my life more complicated, and I know he has some suspicions about me already.</em>
