[Yuan makes a sound that can best be described as a low and disgruntled hum.]
Wergild is the first resort; it's typically a monetary compensation for the loss of vital services, whether material or emotional.
[Not available to Kratos, really, and not something Yuan would like to pay. He did not bargain to take on Kratos's debts as well.]
The next typical form of addressing such a debt is indenture, but you're mine.
[Yuan has no intention of letting Kratos go; especially to someone who might find a way to arrange an 'accident.' There are laws against such things, of course, but Yuan is under no illusions that many would push hard for punishment in the case of the possible accidental death of a Tethe'allan slave.]
[There's more than a few reasons he wanted to acquire Kratos for himself.]
If no agreement can be reached, there are-- judges, of a sort, to whom the matter can be taken.
[Which Yuan isn't especially fond of, either. He assumes he won't be given fair handling as a matter of course.]
