Kaden: I'm employed, sir. 

Wes: *when Darnell looks at him again... he answers simply* I am property.

Kaden: ...Sir, if I may...I would wager that Wes, and... many other slaves here have been held past their time...

Darnell: *nods* Wouldn't surprise me, to be honest. *casts a glare at the man draped ignobly over Hellboy's shoulder* Monsters like him will take everything they can and hold power for as long as possible over anyone and everyone they can get away with. And with local authorities having already been bought, who would challenge him?

Hellboy: Us. *comes out a growl*

Darnell: Yes, exactly. *to Kaden* Do you know where DuPrey would keep such records? Also, I suppose we should meet with these counselors sooner rather than later...?

Kaden: *nods* Of course, sir...

Wes: Sirs...you should see your wounds seen to before doing other things. *glancing between Darnell and Naijah*

Naijah: I've still a couple pendants, Darnell. We could heal each other.

Darnell: *nods* Maybe...just heal the worst of mine? I'm sure we'll need them for others too.

Wes: ...I could tend your wounds, if you would prefer to save the pendants.

Darnell: ...I'm good for that. *though he won't blame Naijah if he'd rather be healed outright*

Naijah: *studies Wes a moment...and nods* Sounds good teh meh.

Wes: *nods* Medical supplies are down the hall.
