The appearance of the big man had made him forget for a moment, but letting this go so easily would leave a bad taste in his mouth.
"Why don't we just leave him tied up for a day? If he's lucky, help will come from the castle. If he's unlucky, the animals of the forest will take care of him."
He had said it half-jokingly, but judging from how the man turned pale, it seemed to have been quite effective.
