“You sound like a plantation owner back before the Revolution. They used to say that about some people too. People that were ‘made’ to serve them, to work in their fields and make money for them. Of course that doesn’t change the fact that just enslaving a person doesn’t make them any less a person.”

And being a former slave, even a military slave, didn’t make Huvrye any less of a person.

“You’ve been a person all your life too Huvrye. You were just controlled by bad people who refused to see that. People who didn’t deserve you.”
