Starshadow watched the action unfolding before his eyes with grim look. With a quick movement, he reached across the table and grabbed the young Elf by the collar and threw him on the table. A knife appeared in Starshadow's hand and he pointed it at the left ear of the young Elf. "Now unless you want me to cut your ears off, which I know will be more than enough torture for any Elf, you will tell us everything we want to know. Do you understand, or will I have to start cutting?" He put the blade of the knife against the youngster's ear.
Starshadow looked down at the sleeping thief. "I'll skin him later and make a cloak while this Elf here watches," he said off-handedly.
Then, seemingly coming to a sudden realization, he smiled sheepishly at Skye. "Er, I mean, they'll both only be slightly punished and none the worse for the wear." He then turned away and started mumbling to himself, keeping the knife's edge at the Elf's ear.
