Tepkin Chased (Humor)

Note: Just a funny log, albeit from Prime, of RP.
[Solhaven, North Market]
The crush of the crowd is almost overwhelming here in the center of the market. Peddlers wheeling small carts push their way through, shouting loudly. Nearby, a group of dwarves argue heatedly with a local merchant. You also see some woth flower, some light leather, a squalid canvas pavilion, an old barrel, a wooden bench with some stuff on it, the Belts booth, the Small Blades stand and the Muffinsmith's stall.
Also here: Maimara, Jagyr, Ayzel
Obvious paths: north, south, east, west, northeast, southeast, southwest
(Tepkin glances about nervously)

(Tepkin stares at Maimara's face for a minute, with a puzzled look on his face)
You scratch your head.
You nervously say, "I.."
You sigh.
You nervously say, "can't tell..."
You gulp.
(Jagyr glances over the halfling staring at Maimara with a slight smirk.)

Maimara says, "Tell me and I'll let you go."
You nervously exclaim, "They wants to kill me!"
You sniff.
You nervously exclaim, "All cause of an accident!"
(Jagyr rests his hands on Tepkin's shoulders, barely having to lift them from his sides at all.)
Maimara says, "No, sir, I don't kill people."
Maimara says, "Out with it."
You pant.
You take a deep breath.
You nervously exclaim, "scaring poor halflings half to death!"
You sniff.
(Maimara lets go of Tepkin and takes a step back.)

Maimara asks, "What has this got to do with me?"
Jagyr says, "You're a little edgy for an old man."
Jagyr chuckles.
Jagyr asks, "What did you do to them?"
Jagyr raises an eyebrow in your direction.
You nervously say, "I couldn...and still can't tell....if you're one of them..."
You nod to Maimara.
You nervously exclaim, "Ye look halfway like em!"
Maimara says, "I do *not* look like an elf."

You nervously exclaim, "enoughs to confuse me!"
You nod.

(Tepkin scoots back hurriedly)

Maimara says, "I don't care about what happened in the Elven city."
You nervously say, "I am not safe anywhere.."
Jagyr says, "Accident or not, it's still a crime."
Jagyr says, "And we all must pay for our crimes, at one time or another."
Maimara says, "I just want to know what the deal is with you giving me strange looks."
You nervously exclaim, "Accidents aren't crimes!"
You flail your arms about.
You nervously exclaim, "As I saids...I couldn't tell if you were one of em!"
You nod to Maimara.
Maimara says, "No, but lying is."
Jagyr says, "I wonder..." he looks up at Maimara for a momment, "if there is a reward for his capture."
You nervously exclaim, "no bounty noo!"
Maimara rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Maimara says, "I bet there is."
You nervously exclaim, "They sent archers after me..why woulds they want to pay anyone else!"
Maimara asks, "I bet he's being tracked. Did you lead the elves here, little man?"
Jagyr says, "You blew up one of their airships. I'm sure they'll offer us something for your capture."
You nervously exclaim, "I didn't blow up an airship...you aren't listening!"
