[... After that, you were unresponsive and wandered blindly for three days. I knew your soul wouldn't recover unless you somehow got some rest, so I took the initiative to activate your sleep response and knock you out.]
As Mini C finished explaining the events after he'd lost consciousness, Ryker rubbed his chin, chains rattling as they clanged together.
'And that's when these slavers came and picked me up, huh?'
[Yes. I figured they would be able to take you further from the site of your battle, so I did not intervene as they took you captive.]
Ryker let out a sigh, closing his eyes in thought. Honestly, the 'being captured as a slave' part didn't bother him so much as the existence of slavery here, in the first place.
He'd figured that this wasteland was a hard place to live in, but was it to the extent that its peoples would capture each other as slaves?
