Melchia stares at the gypsy for a moment, silent, his face expressionless. Finally, he speaks, his voice cold.
"It would seem the guards here failed to beat the spirit out of you. On the contrary, sir, you are in no position to demand anything. My associate Selia here speaks only for herself. I could summon the guard who escorted us here, who would delightfully return to beating you bloody without thought or hesitation. Or, if you tire of physical torture, I am sure I could come up with something more creative. Would you care to reconsider your disposition, sir?"
