As the child grows heavier, she simply disappears, reappearing in a cage hanging from the top of the wall. "Do not use magic to take the child from me, elf, unless you wish to start a fight. Using magic near me can easily be seen as attack, and none would question it if I killed you in self defense. This is a plain threat, my friend. Do not attempt to abuse your powers so again." Jake sighed, as his anger abated slightly. "I will send the child to a good orphanage of course. But I will not entrust it to an elf who mere moments ago attempted to kidnap her. Unless you can provide proof of your valiant intentions, I am afraid I must leave you out of this affair."
