*Duke and Kage are out together when...they run into trouble.*

Kage: *jerks to a stop, a hand going to the side of his neck* Duke...run. *collapses in a heap*

*Before Duke can take two steps in any direction, he'll feel something prick his neck, and his whole body will suddenly feel heavy. It won't knock him out, but in a moment, he won't be able to keep his feet ot speak without tremendous effort.*

Duke: */growls/ as he looks around, dropping to his knees to hunch protectively over Kage*

*Duke wonmt manage to stay upright for long. Within half a mintue he'll go from hunched over Kage, to collapsed over him.*
Man: *steps up to the two childreb* Now that's a catch. *snaps and others will move in to gather up the boys*
Kage: Y'won' get 'way wi'this. *voice thick and words heavily slurred, nothing wants to works. He and Duke are essentially paralyzed...not, but might as well be for all they are managing to get their bodies working...*

	Duke: goes completely limp, hoping they misjudge and bind him too loosely so he can slip out later when this wears off – he'll concentrate on watching and listening, learning all he can…since he really can't do anything /else/ just yet (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The boys aren't bound at all, just picked up and taken to a caged wagon. There's a human boy in there. Once they're all closed in he'll shift to the two a in boys and get them arranged so they're confortable...and then will kind of sit protectively between them. He's only got a blanket around his waist and his back is a mess of whip wounds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Boy: *glances at Duke...doesn't smile, there's nothing to smile about, but will shift to give his shoulder a gentle squeeze...and then does the same to Kage since the bird amin is studying him too*
Kage: *will start to be able to move first. He twitches and shifts before finally sitting up with a soft growl of effort. It'll take Duke another minute to be able to do the same*
Boy: *will brace a hand on their backs, helping to keep them upright. /softly/, knowing they have better hearing* Don't push yourselves too much. We can't do anything until the wagon stops anyway.

	Kage: sitting up, curled forward a bit, fists clenching and unclenching as he tries to get his body working right. Feathers ruffle then relax again. He looks at the boy helping to bace him upright.

Duke: *continuing to relax for now and let his body recover on its own, there's nothing he /needs/ to do yet anyway - nods* We have plenty of people who will come hunting for us, and they will find us. At the worst, if we are sold, we will try to be sold together so we can be found together. *has /no/ question they will be found, Terris will find them – that's if they can't escape on their own, he /does/ intend to try*

	Boy: wonders if he'll be included in that. He'll certainly help with any attempts at freedom My name's Mitham. What are yours? Kage: deep calming breaths, like Naijah taught him Kagerou. It's nice to meet you, Mitham, circumstances not withstanding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mitham: *scowls, but not at Duke, looking away* Usually. I ended up given to a couple a couple years ago. They didn't want a son, they wanted free labor, so I ran away. ...got caught stealing a few times and ended up on the markets. Ran away from my master. These guys found me, but since they don't know who I belong to they'll take me to the markets. ....I'm sorry you two were caught.
