Calliope didn't seem to notice at all, not at first. Although it wasn't long before the man's voice was heard clearly. Accusations of Alexi and Damian stealing away his pet and signing her way to another master, despite him owning her. Now that was definitely not what had happened, but there were going to definitely be a number of people talking about it at the time. And the fact that he was pointing directly at where they were, now that she was looking, definitely had her heart racing all over again. And she had just gotten back onto her feet the day before from her fever.... and now he was just causing more stress on her all over again. "And despite the fact that my pet is pregnant with my child.... they refuse to have her returned to me. And she is that kind of pet... One that births children for her masters." the man was speaking firmly. Now that was something that many knew about but only so many women did it - but everybody knew that rule. The pet remained with their master until the child was born.
Damian was just getting irritated at that point in time but him causing such a spectacle at the auction was going to cause issues. Trying to even argue that she had been removed because of abuse was going to be difficult, with so many people there. No he knew exactly what the man was doing... he was publicly trying to turn other masters against the brothers, force the return of the man's pet. And Damian could only imagine what kind of hell and torment that Calliope might go through if she were forced to go back to him.
