He's so gobsmacked, in fact, that he doesn't even move as the two buff strangers seize him by the elbows, staring instead in wide-eyed, betrayed silence at Byerly.
The ropes have been looped twice around his skinny wrists before he blurts out, "Are you serious?" He jerks his still-bound wrists free to gesture towards where that girl had been standing moments ago. "She robbed me! You saw her do it, you were right there!"
(The urchin, counting her meagre earnings, has already beat a hasty retreat into the side-streets.)
