The guard leading Gulak shoves him forwards as he is shouting in Elven. The are heading away from the main street, curious eyes look out of windows as they pass.
G3 "Shut your face."
The Elf rides on a bit to the side of the party, one of the guards walking near him. He casts the odd displeased glance at Gulak. He doesn't speak but he doesn't seem so smug anymore.
One of the other guards (there are now five in total there) walk up to Gulak with a scowl on his face and aims a fist to his side that hits Gulak just below the ribs, he growls.
G4 "Speak plain or don't speak at all, runt."

Gulak grunts softly, as he falls on his knees, not capable to use his arms to break the fall, so he quickly rolls on his side. At this posistion, he uses the opportunity to try to wiggle out of the ropes, while shouting in elvish again [Elven] "Suspression? Do you let them do this to one of your cousins?"
[Woooh! Escape Artist: 18+3= 21!]
If this works, he moves up without using his hands, and holds the robe tightly around his hands to create the illusion of his hands being bound. ~Where did you get yourself into, Gulak?~ he speaks to himself in his head. ~You're a ranger, not some lowly rogue!~

The Elf frowns at Gulak and looks at him as he falls to the ground. He gives the guards a look of disgust but rides on in silence.
The ropes are very tight. They loosen up a little but not enough for Gulak to wriggle free, he has managed to make himself a bit more comfortable, however, as the ropes hurt less around his wrists.
The guard that was leading Gulak pulls him up to continue walking as they don't seem inclined to wait even a moment for Gulak to have a chance to pick himself up. They push him to continue, they are heading back towards the City Walls it seems but by way of small alleys and streets rather than the main streets, they turn a corner and the big towering wall is up ahead with visible extended stone structures jutting out from it containing Guards offices, toll offices, tax offices and holding cells.

Gulak looks around himself desperately, looking for some lupehole to escape through. When he doesn't find such, he just drops his shoulders, and sights, giving up hope. Tame as a puppy, he just walks along, holding his tongue.

They soon reach the Wall and the guards shove him in through the door of one of the buildings built in to the extended wall.
Outside the Elf dismounts his horse that is taken care of by another guard and follows in after Gulak.
Two of the guards, the one holding Gulak and the first one go inside too.
Inside there is a small room with lots of shelves on the walls and some desks and chairs. There are two more guards in there talking to two higher ranking officers, all human. There is a third officer there too, an Elf, leaned to one of the walls while reading something. They all look up as the party comes inside.
One of the human officers turn towards them and speaks.
O1 "Greyne, what's this?"
The first guard straightens up.
G "Thisone was causing trouble up at the Northeast Gate, Sargeant." He motioned to the Elf dressed in black. "This man here was assaulted."
The Sargeant scowls and eyes Gulak over gruffly with a judging disapproving glare. The Elf officer stands away from the wall and puts the book down, listening and watching.
O1 "Name?" He demanded.
G "He refused to say, Sargeant. Resisting arrest." he added the last bit almost proudly.

Gulak grins at the guard's sudden chance of stance at the words of the Officer [Elven]"Mól" he mutters softly, then looks at the Sargeant, and finally finds the moment to speak. "This man almost stampled over me with his horse, and when I shouted watch out, he just walked along with his arrogant head." he sighs "it's my first time in town. I just wanted some revenge, it's normal where I come from." he shrugs "'t was only a stupid carrot. Like I said against this pup- guard, noone got hurt."

The sergeant eyes Gulak up and down with obvious disapproval, wrinkling his nose. Then he looks up when the accusing party is mentioned and glances around until he sees the Elf in black. He frowns slightly again and lets out a sigh.
"It's all plain enough. If you'll come with me I'll process your charges." He grunts to the Elf and turns away.
The Elf casts a glance to Gulak accusingly and then follows the guard.
The Elven officer watches with lukewarm interest and then makes an arrogant head gesture to some of the other guards that promptly returns to their business and heads out the door, leaving the Sargeant, Gulak held by Greyne as well as the two Elves.

Gulak glared at the Sergeant with disgust. Ok, he officially discovered that he hated guards. Well, atleast he wasn't a discriminating prick, as the other guards. Well, atleast he didn't show it. He waited till the thud of the door closing when the guard and the elf left, and then opened his mouth again. "I'm not offending you, but... do you and your guards have something against elfs in general, or is that just my opinion?" He then turned his head, and looked up into the face of Greyne. "You can let me go, you know? I'm not gonna walk away, or something."

The sargeant was holding open a smaller door at the back and the man in black walked ahead of him in to another room. The sargeant looked at Gulak unimpressed.
"I know your kind Elf or no." He turned and walked in to the other room as well and closed the door behind him.
Greyne gave Gulak a rough warning shove but didn't let go giving a hard glare.
At that point the Elven officer made himself known and cleared his throat a little.
Greyne backed off a bit and pushed him in the direction of the nearest table, slightly less forcefully. There were no available chairs on this side of it and it was covered with piles of paper. He let go of Gulak.
G "Name?" he demanded with a warning glare as he made his way to th other side of the table and began to pick among the papers.

Gulak leaned against the table lazely, and would even have folded his arms if his hands weren't bound. But he didn't resist, rebeling would get him nowhere in this position. Besides, he could probably bribe the penalty off anyway. "Gulak of Guinnesec" he said with a smile. He used the home country of his former master. What? He could consider him familly, couldn't he?
While he waited, slowly drummed his fingers on teh table behind him. His gaze was slyly aimed at the elven officer. When he would make eye contact, he would smile friendly with a thankfull nod.

Greyne looked up at Gulak with a completely incredulous look on his face and eyed him over once more. Opening his mouth a couple of times and then looking down on his papers and shuffles them about a bit.
"Oh... right... yes..." He starts writing on the paper in front of him, a blush coming to his cheeks.
The Officer leans to one wall, standing behind the scribling Greyne with his eyes firmly on Gulak. A very faint nod came at the gratitude but then he slowly shook his head silently at Gulak.

Gulak's face turns a pooed expression. Well, nice reputation did he make. Ahh well, things like that happen. He turned around Greyne, and smiles as he notices his sudden hasty behaviour. This might proof usefull.
"Greyne, my good man? I was wondering if you could untie these ropes for me."
He moved his hands around a bit to make his point clear.
"they knell, I don't want my polse to get all raw and bruiced."

Greyne looked up with involuntary politeness. He eyed the ropes and his eyes flickered a little, and he put his pen down.
"Uh... y-yes, of course... sir." He made to get up when the Elven officer suddenly reached out and placed a firm hand on Greyne's shoulder, keeping him in his chair.
K [Elven]"Enough. Unless you can show me some papers we should need your real name."[/Elven] He spoke calmly and politely but unimpressed.
Greyne threw a blank look at the two of them wondering what was going on.

Gulak frowned and looked at the ground.
[Elven]"Do you like doing this, brother? Charging people, tying them up for a stupid carrot?[/Elven]
He suddenly jerked his head to the back, looking to the two.
[Elven]"Fine, have it your way then!"[/Elven]
He looked down at Greye's stature. He didn't tilt his head down, he just arrogantly lured at him with his eyes, head perfectly still. He enjoyed his royal stature far too mutch. A faint smile formed on his lips.
[Common]"Just... write down Gulak..."[/Common]

The Elf gave him a proud but patient look and waited for Greyne, who still looked a bit confused, to start writing the newly given name before speaking.
K [Elven]"I assure you, I enjoy this as much as I do watching our kind behave in such ways."[/Elven]
Greyne "Uhm... Gulak...." he glanced at the officer and then returned to the paper. "Age and occupation?"
