Chapter 209

• Christof informed his friends that slavery was wrong. Keeping a sentient creature and using it for your own needs was inappropriate. I liked to feed myself and I liked to sit on the furniture. Fuji, Rose, and I had innate rights to our own opinions about how to spend our lives.
• Fuji screamed like a cat and wrapped herself around one of her owner's legs. She didn't like this conversation, it upset her. Looking up at her men she begged them not to get rid of her.
• The men shushed her and stroked her head. One of them set her kneeling place right beside him and told her to stay close. That seemed to make her feel better.
