[@KatherinWinter] Okay, thanks for getting back to me. Sorry to hear about that, hopefully you've recovered.

He is simply talking to her about several things. 

Explaining.

[color=ed1c24]1a. The Kingdom's Motto[/color]

[b]"They say only two types of people survive in this world. The savage and the subservient...You either dominate all below you with an iron fist or you eat out of the palm of your owner's hand. Those that do neither, will die quickly. That ruthless belief permeates throughout these lands..." [/b]

[color=ed1c24]1b. His disdain toward the motto. [/color]

[b]He sounded bitter. Clearly talking to her, despite looking in a different direction, having a slight scowl on his face.[/b]

[color=ed1c24]2. Explaining why he stormed the stage and how it unfolded, saying you were the only slave on stage that he saw potential in.[/color]

[b]"I observed everyone on that stage and I saw nothing but emptiness in every prisoner's eye. A chain of cold, defeated souls, hollow shells of their former selves. They couldn't help themselves, let alone be useful to me. But you were different, whether you believe it or not. I saw the spark of desire in your eye. I couldn't let anyone acquire you..." [/b]

[b]"I knew I didn't have the wealth nobility threw around and decided to charge upon the stage and hope my father's old necklace would spook them into conceding with my bid."[/b]

[color=ed1c24]3. Explaining his disdain for slavery.[/color]

[b]"So, forgive my erratic behavior and my exploitation. I want you to fully understand, that under most circumstances I find the act of slavery abhorrent,"[/b]

[color=ed1c24]4. Explaining that he is using her, to get into locations he can't. (Being beastkind.) to find his kidnapped children and is promising freedom after the fact.[/color]

[b]"but I've become a desperate man. My son and daughter...they were kidnapped and I haven't seen or heard from them since. I need someone that can go through places I can't access, someone to help me get them back...I'll give you my word, once I track down the ones who kidnapped my children, retrieve them both and bring them safety back home. I will grant you freedom."[/b]

The 'seems creepy line' is another thought. :P I guess the dark blue makes it harder to see the changed/italicized text. Oops.

Hopefully more clear? :)
