Elwyn responded to Calixto with another spectacularly long insult which made the guards' jaws drop with shock.
Calixto gestured and the guards forced Elwyn to her feet. "Come, pretty one, you should show more respect to your leader."
Then he reeled backwards as Elwyn spit in his face. He cuffed her hard across the face, and when she continued to stare back at him defiantly, he struck her hard on the jaw. The elf-maid's head snapped back, and Elanor gasped as Elwyn collapsed bonelessly, completely unconscious.
