It was one damn slave

He spoke for the hundredth time on how slavery worked, and Zee felt her frustration build. He didn't understand. Yeah she could accept that Ashen took slaves, whatever. She could close her eyes and ignore it. But he was missing her point entirely. "You idiot." She seethed, narrowing her eyes at him as he lifted from the ground. "There is a difference between enslaving a wolf who trespasses at your borders and going out looking for one. You did not only take that man for no reason whatsoever, but you made me an accomplice to it. What was I supposed to do? Warn him and risk making the capture even harder for the poor fool? What you did was unfair to him, and it was cruel to me. You damn well know my opinion on slavery and you're stupid if you'd think I wouldn't care." She gave him a heavy sigh as he stalked past her to sit in the rain, turning to keep her eyes upon him.

"I can't pretend to know your motives, you're too damn confusing." She muttered bitterly. "But for the record, I'd rather you just beat me into the ground for our masters then ever have to sit by and watch you take away someone's freedom ever again." Her ears pinned tight against her skull and her tail moved to wrap tightly around her side. "There is no one else I would have simply stood beside idly for. I would have fought even Deathbelle for his freedom. But in my loyalty for you I let it happen, and I might never get that self-respect back. You don't understand."

"Speech"
"Thinking"
"You."
