Since the thug had calmed down enough to look like he was coherent, Toz decided to ask the thug about something he had been curious about since he first saw the thug. The collar around his neck.
The sausage-thick black and red stone collar around the thug's neck stood out like a sore thumb, so it was impossible not to notice. However, Toz wasn't curious about the man's status as a slave. He was interested in the source of the slave collar.
He knew from Stitches' story and the Alliance of Kingdom's attempt to enslave Pirate Haven that slaves would be common on the battlefield. What he didn't expect was that he would find the slave collars familiar. And it wasn't due to having seen another slave on the battlefield.
"Who did you get this from?"
While asking, Toz tugged on the collar.
"What do you think? Beltor."
I'm getting pretty hyped writing this arc >:)
