I took a deep breath and steeled myself to play it nice. Maybe if I cooperated, I could talk him into letting me go.

He gave me an appraising look, like maybe he hadn't been expecting this kind of level-headed bargaining. "Very well. Come with me."

"You obviously have very refined taste," I said, still choosing my words carefully considering he hadn't yet untied me. "And a man of such stature would certainly not desire to be wanted for criminal kidnapping, now would he?"
Okay, so I tried. But the man swiveled to glare down at me, a deep scowl creasing his face. "Do not," he growled, "Treat me like some commoner! The law--" he paused "The human law does not touch those of my stature."
