More perplexed than angered, Tanya just wanted to know why she was being kept here against her will. The unexpected strength of the small ropes was frustrating, but she knew there had to be a reason for their behavior. Logically they must see her as a foreign threat, and her size must have frightened them when they first found her. She repeated her question to them, quickly surmizing that they were either ignoring her or, more likely, didn't speak her language or at all.
The only thing she could think to do was to struggle with her constraints, hoping that maybe she could get free and then explain herself to the tiny natives without starting an uproar. This evidently upset them, as if it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Out of the hundreds of what appeared to be tribal people, most of them pulled out their weapons. Tanya hadn't meant to use that for an intimidation tactic, but it was all the same to them.
At first, she foolishly clenched her teeth in an effort to brace for the pain. She should have known, through, that their primitive spears and scimitars had barely even punctured her flesh, and were left almost microscopic holes to demonstrate their minute damage. But even so, people did strange things when afraid, she knew. After one last push against the confining strands, the girl finally heard some of the first snapping noises. It was working!
Just as she would have suspected, shouts ands screams erupted from the little mob, who couldn't have stood more than an inch tall by her immediate gauging. as more and more ropes began to fray and tear apart, she was feeling a mixture of satisfaction and pity. There was no way she would let them keep her here if she had the power to escape, but the terrifying emotion this must have evoked wasn't appealing to Tanya either.
