"Of course you could still stay with me, it's not like I'd turn you out on your own." Jason cleared his throat and snapped to attention. "Octavius," He said in a serious and a bit deeper tone.
Octavius felt the slave mask slam down on him. If Jason had snapped to attention, someone he feared or who held more power then him must have arrived. Why else would the laughing master become so still? "Yes, Jason, sir?" Octavius asked, bending at the waist slightly.
"Octavius, as your master you must follow my commands. Now, as your master," His voice softened and he smiled again. "I free you of your bonds to me. You are a slave no longer, but I would hope you'll stay with me and be my friend." Jason bowed deeply.
Octavius dropped to his knees, staring up at Jason in disbelief. "I...I am...thank you," he whispered, voice gruff as tears began to fall. He was free. His shackles were gone and he could do whatever he wanted. He could go anywhere. "I want to stay. I want to protect you. Because you are my friend. I-I have a friend..."
Silently, Max leaned against the gate, watching the two. He wondered if he should leave or if he should go bud in on tbe moment.
Jason shook his head and moved forwards offering Octavius a hand. "Yes, a friend. Now, come on up off the ground so I can hug ya," Jason hadn't noticed his cousin standing at the gate, and at the moment he didn't care.
Max didn't want to intrude and set off, leaving the two to bond.
Octavius took Jason's hand, trembling slightly in his shock and happiness. He could not believe what was happening. Never in his wildest dreams did he think anything like this could even happen.
Jason chuckled and once Octavius was on his feet he pulled the man into a hug. "Though if anyone asks, you do have to say you're still a slave... Things haven't been fixed quite yet, so that's how things are I'm afraid..."
"I don't care. I know in my heart that I am free and you know. I will gladly say so to stay and protect you," Octavius mumured, hugging him back.
