[i]"You'll have to regardless, most people here end up fighting one say or another." [/i]
-
"That'll be different though. That's because it's sparring or some shit."
-
[i]"Fair, fair." [/i]

"Just, don't want to fight anyone I don't have to. I've had to do it enough."

[i]"So slavery?" [/i]
-
"Yep. Bred and modified a bunch of us to be what they wanted in a slave."
-
[i]"So you were a fighter then?" [/i]
-
"Yep. Well, a show-slave, but basically. They had me fight, they had me show off. Though from the reactions I get when I tell people that here, I'm assuming 'showing off' means something different?@

[i]"Yeah it has a few meanings." [/i]
