You walk into your house, seeing your sister talk to some random guy. You walk over, asking who the guy was and why he was here. Your sister explains to you that this is the slave she bought, and his name is Eckles. She says he's strong, quiet, and good with swordsmanship.

It's been a couple of days since that happened, and you couldn't help but still feel unsure about Eckles, watching him from the corner of your eye as you worked.
