"We can get water from the river." Gadwall pointed out. "I tried to steal some fish from the kitchens. Damn cook was there today. I thought he was going to take the day off but...he must have been making a special meal for Nery. He fancies her."
"That's just a rumor." I replied and started to eat the bread. "He's a Nieth, he doesn't really want anything to do with her. Since she is trusted by Tis to watch over me. he must think being by her side will earn him a promotion. Something more than being a cook at a coliseum."
"It's strange to think of the masters as not being all powerful. That there is a ranking system amongst them. That there can be poor and rich Nieth. If you weren't a hybrid, you would have your brother's place."
"Why do you say that?"
"Your father didn't want you to die. A master didn't want a slave to die. If you were a Nieth his love for you would only be greater."
"And then I might have to constantly watch out for Tis not to kill me. Which wouldn't be too much different from the present."
