Bane blinked. It didn't click at first what the boy was talking about, but then he realized it...a slave. He growled some, but not at the boy, but at whoever had harmed him.
"No, I'd never take you back to anyone who'd do something like this." He knew about how a few of his friends had been slaves before, he hated it. He'd never allow anyone to take this boy back to that. "So...what's your name? I'm Bane." He smiled kindly, hoping to ease the boy's fear.

The boy flinch when he growled. The boy look down when Bane ask him for a name. He didn't have one, he is a no body, no one cares about him, just as long as he can do what he is suppose to do. "...Don't...have one..." He mumbled sadly. He put his hand out against the nearest tree he started to feel weaker, the lack of food was getting to him a lot now.

Bane looked down, he hadn't meant to make the boy sad. He had to cheer him up. He smiled at the boy again.
"Well I can't keep calling you boy. And you know...you kinda remind me of myself when I was little..." He said. It was complete truth. When Bane was first "found" by Limra and brought to where Brave and the others were. He didn't have a name either. Nighthawk had given Bane the name he still had. "How about...Maro?" He asked, wanting to know the boy's own oppinion.

The boy look up at Bane. "...Ma...ro...?" The boy thought for a moment that nodded some before sitting down. He wrap his arms around his stomach. His hunger is starting to become over whilming. Ryu started to move closer but as soon as Ryu moved, Maro saw him and stode up, still terrified of the over grown puppy.

(Ryu's not over grown...he's just an "over grown pup" meaning he's a full grown dog that acts like a puppy.)
"Ryu, stay." Bane said, quickly looking back at Ryu. "You're scaring him."
He turned his attention back on the boy, now Maro. "It's okay, Ryu won't hurt you..." He noticed Maro was holding his stomach. "...Hungry?" He asked, taking a peice of dried meat that he's been saving out of his pocket and holding it out to him.

Ryu whined some and set where he was. Maro forgetting about Ryu for the moment look at the meat with wanting eyes. He quickly took the meat from Bane and even quicker then what he took it he ate it but that peice alone didn't satisfied his empty stomach. Maro look up at Bane hopeing that he still have some more food.

Bane blinked. He hadn't expected that Maro would snatch the food that fast.
"Uh..." He searched his pockets and pulled out three more pieces of dried meat and two bread rolls he'd stolen. "This is all I've got right now..." He hoped it was enough for Maro. He didn't know how long it'd been since the boy had had anything to eat.

The boy grab the three peices of dried meat and the two bread rolls. Each in turn, he quickly ate the food but even that didn't satisfied his hunger. At he finish he look up at Bane hopeing that he still have some more food. Ryu got up and start to walk off to find some food, seeing by the expresion on Maro's face that he is still hungry.

Bane saw Ryu get up out of the corner of his eye.
"Don't worry...Ryu's getting some more food." He said. "Now let me see those wounds...so I can heal them too..."
He reached for the boy's other arm slowly. He had already healed one, now for the other and his feet.
Then I'll take him to the others...and go off to steal him some new clothes...and some shoes... He thought, looking at the boy's bloodied feet.

Maro sat down again and watch Ryu until the dog was out of sight. After Ryu was out of sight he watch Bane heal his other arm and his feet. He is still amaze that Bane is able to do such a thing like that. For the first time in his life he wasn't completely in pain. "...thanks..." He said to Bane truly greatful.

"Welcome." Bane said, smiling at Maro still. "So what exactally happened to you?" Bane couldn't help but be curious.

Maro look down. He didn't want to answer, he is too terrified of his master to answer. Ryu come back with a dead rabbit. He bark to happily because he was able to help and succeed in the hunt so quickly. Hearing Ryu, Maro jumped to his feet and hid behind Bane.

Bane put his hand on Maro's head. "It's ok. I told you, Ryu won't hurt you. He never would hurt you." Bane lifted his hand and then walked over to the rabbit. He picked it up and then began skinning and gutting it with a small knife from his pocket. He always carried a knife, but he rarely used it, prefering to use the sword he kept concealed beneath his cloak.

Maro wanted to follow Bane but he didn't because of his fear of Ryu. He sat down again watching Bane gutting and skin the rabbit. Ryu look over at Maro and whine sadly, wanting to play with him but knowing that Maro is terrified of him. Ryu walk off some and lay under a tree and decide to take a small nap.

Bane finished and then gathered a few sticks to start a fire, which he did quickly. He cooked the meat and then gave some to Maro.
"Here." He said, holding the meat out.
