Elias frowned. Oh, the boy looked cute enough, and the restraints were all standard to what he was used to. But he was so thin! He'd complain to the auction house about that. Masters wouldn't choose a little twig. They will naturally get their pets scrawny if that's what they wanted. That meant Elias would have to be sure to feed him. He sighed, stepping back from the box. A swift kick to the side and the box fell over. He went around to the opening, reaching inside to haul the boy out.
He kept the restraints on, for now. First the tape went, then the blindfold. He took the other's jaw in hand, looking over every angle of his face. He refrained from smiling. "Hello there. Do you know why you're here?" It was best to see how lucid this boy was now. He could plan what to do first from there.
