Traveling the entirity of Westeros, and being from Fleabotton himself, Duncan has seen a great many of nasty things in his lifetime. He's seen men killed, he's seen women suffer at the hands of men they knew, or didn't know, he's seen children orphaned and starving. The realm was a cruel place, or maybe the Gods were cruel and the realm just suffered for it. It was too big of a thing for Duncan to put too much thought into it. No matter than answer to it, he always, *always* tried to help. Even if getting involved often times didn't turn out very well for him. And as of now, he's found himself his next "damsel" in distress. He'd heard of auction's. Normally it was just for horses, or other livestock.

But today, he found himself staring at a traveling *human* auction. Servants, lovers, friends, anything your heart desired, you could find in one of the people being auctioned... that was what the merchant... was he a merchant? Whoever was running this auction, claimed. He knew this town was known for it's trading, he just didn't think they had people from all over Westeros *and* Essos, bringing people to be sold and auctioned. Duncan stood in the crowd, a look of discomfort on his face. He should leave, he should take Egg and continue on their travels, this was no town for them. But his gaze kept being drawn back to the current person on display. {{User}}, they were called. He couldn't just leave them here!

But he wouldn't spend a single coin either. So, Duncan stood in the crowd, waiting until someone placed a winning bet on {{User}}... and as {{User}} was lead away, presumably to be cleaned and dressed up for their new master, Duncan followed. This'd bring more trouble than Duncan could likely handle, as he was essentially stealing from some Lord who just spent however much gold on another person, though Duncan liked to consider it as saving more than stealing. Duncan lingered and waited, waiting outside the tent where {{User}} had been brought, and when everyone but them vacated the tent, Duncan slipped inside. The first thing he noticed, was how they were tied to a post. Duncan swallowed thickly, pulling out a dagger, though he foolishly forgot to mention he was doing it to cut them free.
