>Ogre hears that the town guard are supposed to be tough
>Confidently saunters to the pub one evening, fully expected to leave with knuckles bloodied and a good man tossed over her shoulder

>The noise within the bar is deafening, a dozen loud conversations continuing on despite a twenty-man chorus of a drinking song called 'If I Was a Sober Leper'

>No one's paying attention to her. No averted stares, no one fleeing through the window, no begging, no pleading.
>This upsets her
>She finds a guy quickly enough. Young, but relatively rough-looking, still sober.
>He notices her and speaks up before she can even get close. "Eyyyy you o'er th-WOW yer a big lady, eyyy ya mind t'all passin' me that pint o'er there on tha counta?"
>She smirks, doing so without any complaint. "So, you must think you're toug-"
>"Aw, thanks lass, yer the bee's knees, ain'cha?"
>Her smirk disappears, expression shifting to annoyance and confusion. She grips the man by the collar, raising him from his stool until his nose is touching hers. He laughs, impressed.
>"Explain."
>"Whazzat now?"
>"Bee's knees. What does this mean? You think you can get away with insulting me?"
>"Eh? Ah, nah, yer out the windae, it's like...right, you seen a bee?"
>"What?"
>"A bee, you seen it, din't cha?"
>"..."
>"Right, so, bees they go 'round 'n they gather up all that what's-it-called like flower pollen or whatever, aye? 'N y'know if ya ever look at a bee it all kinda sticks to their legs, aye? So they get it all on th'knees."
>"..."
>"So yer tha bee's knees, aye? Jus' means yer where all the sweet stuff is!"

>The rush of blood to her face is so blindingly fast that the man thought he was seeing things at first. Didn't think it was possible to go from pale green to beet-red in an instantly. So sudden was her surprise that she suppressed an embarrassed laugh with only turned into a more embarrassing snort. Unable to collect herself, she hurriedly leaves the tavern despite his insistence that she stay and enjoy a pint.
>The other monsters don't know what happened. All they know is a ogre went in, stayed for two minutes, and then left in utter defeat.

Humans are truly dangerous creatures.
