Re: Holding Pens - Hermes and Carrick
Carrick gave the slave a shrewd look. "An unusual story." The slave could be lying, of course, but there seemed to be an openness about his words that made them ring true. "Assuming that's all true, I'd advise you not to speak of it again," Carrick advised gravely. "For your own safety. And in order to guarantee said safety, you'd need the protection of a Master with a certain reputation. If you belonged to me, it would be a foolish witch who'd come to my estate trying to silence you."
