I don't care how you word it. That's irrelevant.

It isn't the wording! We have another meaning for "ownership," which is a mutual trust and affection between two or more individuals. You're angry about slave-like ownership. Now you're just being unreasonable.

I'm perfectly clear. You don't own another being like you would an animal.

No! You still misunderstand! In Aera, we take vows as part of our culture to become one with the other, so each party owns the other and themselves. This is to symbolise the trust between them! We speak these vows when we take up an occupation or enter a family. It's also what's spoken when taking the responsibility of anothers life into your hands, including pets. I don't mean physical ownership!

Slaves? That's something only Yoma have.

You don't own others.

We do in Aera!
*Rubs nose*
I feel like we may be on the wrong page of what context of "own" we mean.

*Grabs my nose and looks at you*
What's your problem? Is trust an issue for you?

*Stops an inch away from your face*If you believe that, then you certainly deserve to be owned.

*Genuinely*
Thank you very much!

-Ruby- ... What did you just say? Like you would own a dog? *her smile fades into a scowl*

Yes, possession! In Aera we take vows as part of our culture to become one with the other, so each party owns the other and themselves. This is to symbolise the trust between them! We speak these vows when we take up an occupation or enter a family.

*Steps towards you*I said that you don't own beings.

*Raises an eyebrow*
I owned the maid in the same way that you would own a dog.

Legend said
Own? You don't own beings.

*Laughs* Good one.

That is most definitely not me.

You remind me of a maid our family used to own. She was very... noticeable.
