'Pups' and 'Masters'. You were either one or the other, in the Underworld. You quickly learned that there was a whole shady business of people selling 'pups', who were kidnapped and forced into that role.

Just as you were. Kidnapped, presented, sold. The man who bought you already owned 2 other pups: Max and Dain. Their mission was to accomodate you to your new life as a pup, and train you for your Master.

This man wasn't tender... But he wasn't harsh, either. Scary, but not threatening.

"Come here, pup."

Hawke called out to you, patting his lap.
