So the Turtles haven't received any clothes yet, the Tribesman haven't given them any yet and obviously the Turtles don't want to wear any clothes because they find them difficult to move in, In looking up the words used in the Shard RPG 'Sarpa' is Sanskirt for snake or serpent meaning all reptiles and amphibians are basically called 'Snakes' given that the Patron Devah for the Sarpah is named Nagamissa and in the ancient past the Menagarie Spaceship that contained the animals was called the Naga Sena Naga being a mythical snake creature in the Hindu relgion this clearly sets the running motif of the Snake throughout, 'Vajra' seems to mean 'Thunderbolt' actually it was a legendary and ritual weapon with the properties of a diamond (indestructability) and a thunderbolt (irrisistable force) Paksin I could find no translation for so I don't know if it's just a made up word but it is striking how it is the most different from the other two names
Chanchalla ran over to her brother, she knew from experience the antler shedding didn't hurt despite the bleeding, but she did know that the wounds did risk becoming infected if they weren't treated quickly particurally given how much thinner and weaker Aneka seemed, which could be easily seen since all he was wearing was a linen kilt, his time as slave seemed to be taking its toll on him.
She asked him what he was doing out here in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, Aneka told her that his Master sent him to get water from that stepwell in the middle of the night in an attempt to break his spirit, seems he had been a particurally difficult slave, refusing to accept his new role as a slave and it seems his Master was very determined to break him rather than simply kill him for disobedience which was perfectly within the master's right particurally in Magar which is where this place was where Aneka had been sold to, while the Master's Sadism was the reason Chanchalla had found Aneka alive she feared there was only so long the Master would be willing to put up with Aneka's obstinance for so long before he finally got fed up and killed him.
Chanchalla began the process of leading her Eldest Brother back to the Wandering Tribe's Camp, Leo quietly followed behind.
When Aneka realized where he was headed and realized the 'Abomination' was still with them following behind...He was horrified!
The three Tribseman Challa had given the Translation Spell to came forward and Don seeing the Roe Deer Janah was hurt came and got out his first aid kit.
But Aneka stubbornly refused to let them treat him, he kept fighting no matter how hard they pushed him back down, since he hadn't been given the translation spell, the Turtles couldn't understand what he was saying but they were hearing the responses from Chanchalla and the three Tribsemen
"Yes, I know they all smell like sewer Aneka," Chanchalla said responding to something her brother said "That's not the point..."
That led to a very nasty response from Aneka,
And Leo at that moment felt the blood drain from his face, he sank to the ground in shame...Any thought of these people accepting him and him becoming a Lord suddenly seemed nothing more than a joke...More than his appearance, which was already a pretty big handicap, he could see how frightened these tribesmen were particurally the women, they clearly only tolerated the Tartles in their midst because they had been prepped for it and because they were Outcastes themselves they were more willing to be tolerant didn't mean they actually liked them but more than just his appearance, the larger reason why Leo knew he would never be accepted by these people boiled down to something he knew very well from his study of Japan.
Purity.
He knew the reason they had a Caste System was because the lower castes were percieved as less pure than the higher castes the lower or outcastes did the gross disgusting jobs, that absent the discovery of germs, people only knew being around filth or corpses could make you sick but they didn't know the eact reason why so the people who had to handle such things were viewed as eternally 'tainted' unable to join 'polite society'
Leo himself let himself be lured by the romantic views of purity remembering the first time he met the Shredder and Shredder tempted him with the gift of a legedary sword of which the metal had been folded over seven hundred times to remove any impurities.
"Don't see what he's going on about..." Mikey said sitting next to Leo "...You were just holding hands it's not like you were making out..."
"Mikey..." Leo said sorrowfully "...Even by just doing that I was already, way, WAY out of bounds...With a woman of her caste."
Even though she was currently a slave or outcaste, because the reason for her demotion was undeserved the Turtles sought to treat Chanchalla like the Noblewoman she was thus trying to put more effort in being careful what they said to and around her, and not holding any belching/flatulence contests while she was around (Admittedly they also did that during April's extendend stay at their lair)
Finally Chanchalla could take no more, and finally she just lost her temper...
"LISTEN ANEKA!" She yelled "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH! I'VE PASSED THROUGH THE VEIL OF WATER AND WENT TO ANOTHER WORLD! I'VE SEEN THINGS! I'VE LEARNED THINGS! YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HALF THE THINGS I'VE LEARNED! AND I DID IT ALL TO RETURN US TO OUR PLACE AS SUNBORN EVEN THE LIKES OF YOU BROTHER! WHEN I WAS SOLD I ACCEPTED I HAD BECOME A SLAVE AND OBEYED, WHILE YOU CONTINUED TO ACT LIKE A SPOILED PRINCE SO YOUR MASTER KEPT WHIPPING YOU AND TRYING TO BREAK YOU WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH LONGER YOU WOULD HAVE LASTED IF I HADN'T FOUND YOU NOW YOU WILL SHUT UP AND LET THEM TREAT YOU!"
Chanchalla was left gasping after that tirade, her throat hurt, the Turtles were wincing because of the shrillness that naturally comes from the higher pitch of a woman yelling but Raph seemed to be admiring her standing up to her brother and gave her a thumb's up.
That seemed to finally cow Aneka and so he sat back and let Don treat and bandage his head.
So this was mostly dealing with the emotional aftermath of the previous chapter and also Leo is coming to have to face the dark side of Medivel Asia particurally for everyone who didn't fit in
