"Well, at least they have good taste."

Grey Peka giggles.

Kiss. 

"So let me get this straight. We have at least three flat Ardas, two with Bekas and one without. We have a normal Arda in the same universe as an Amenta with a Peka but no Fen Neli or descendants. We have our Amenta, which has yet to find any neighbors and has a grey Peka and does have Fen Neli and descendants. There's the human world the Ways are from. There's the human world Rabka is from."

"Which might or might not have our family, she wouldn't have had much chance to find out."

"Oh?"

"She was a slave."

"Ah huh."

"Yeah I didn't get out much. And we don't have recorded music. As a whole thing, anyway, there's probably embroidered stuff that'll do it."

"There probably wouldn't be slavery if we were running the country?"

"Could be a different country, or hard to fix."

"Ugh."

"Some things take time."

"You only get to vote if you have slaves. I forget how many slaves to a vote."

"Well that's appalling."

"It is the kind of thing that would complicate unravelling it, though."

"You could just kill all the slaveowners! Problem solved."

"Countries actually historically do very poorly when they murder their entire governing class in a fit of populist outrage."

"To be fair that's at least half because someone will usually see an opening and invade them."

"Anyway I ran off into a magic when my owner tried to sell away my baby."

Hug.

"When Amenta had slavery that was not typically legal."

"Good for you guys then." And now she's sort of ambiguously owned but nobody has tried to take Cathei so she's good.

" - uh?"

"We did tell her that we don't practice slavery and she was free."
