The guard chuckles softly and then his face alights in a small evil grin, '=
you're in my city now, girl, and you'll belong to whoever I tell you to. Do=

'Oh, great. An Elf-lover, too. That's all we need,' mutters Gregory.

The guard looks Renee up and down, as if measuring her. He then unloads wit=
h a powerful slap that rocks her, forcing her to put her right foot back to=
 keep her balance. 'Don't try and mess around with me, girl. I bite back.'

> that the donkey will kick back maybe hitting Gregory on his backside


The donkey responds, but not quite as Renee expects. The kick flies high, c=
lipping Gregory in his arm and sending him reeling. The other guard restrai=
ns him, but the well-known glint in his eyes as he motions for Renee to mov=
e along tells her that trouble is mounting.
