The Golden Tether

A small note was attached to the slave's paperwork in the scrawling, looping script of Handler Fae.

I oversaw this slave's intake. He is an agreeable sort, and despite his appearance I do not believe he will be problematic, beyond the smell of decay when unfed and unwashed. Should he prove troublesome, I've noted he has an unusual attachment to his spade. I believe threatening it or giving time with it as a reward will be all that is necessary to keep him in line. But I also note that he does consider this garden tool a weapon. I also recommend that the Buntot Pagi that was shipped with him be kept from any casual renters hands and only be handed over to others with extreme caution. He appears exceedingly wary of it and do to the unknown material it is made of I suggest further study, by someone more knowledgeable in such fields than I, before any firm decision on what to do with it is made. I also recommend a diet of fresh entrails for this particular slave instead of what is given en masse if only to save the atrium from the smell he produces if left to decay, unless we wish to have the house slaves scrubbing the stench out of the atrium cushions for weeks.

[I'm editing this to make his paperwork slightly less revealing. I didn't really care for how much mystery it took out of the character and his abilities.]
