The man was just stammering a bit before he was getting up and was going to drag off his pet. This had Calliope biting her lip a little bit, already having an idea as to what the poor woman was going to go through once they returned to his home. Especially with how upset the man was. Her grip on Caleb's hand was tightening a little bit.
"With what I just witnessed.... and what so many others witnessed. That was no punishment, that was purely intent to injury and harm. Therefore... that contract between you and your pet is null and void. That woman will not be going anywhere with you." Damian was speaking as he was walking up, leading Rose by the leash as his eyes went to the man.
