>Looking back to Penacriss for a second, you try to get a feel for just how large this guy is
>Snapping back to the microphone, you realize that this guy is at least twice as big as you are
>What the hell where you thinking trying that on such a big guy? The answer was obvious
“Use a baseball bat”
>The crowd of ponies chuckles in a amusement before you for a few seconds before subsiding
>”Um… Well unfortunately, I don’t think that beating a griffon’s head in with a baseball bat is exactly a company friendly policy”
“Well, Pen over here is a pretty big guy, especially for me. I guess that I should have assessed the threat before using force a little better. I tried to use my magic to pull his leg, but he was so large that I couldn’t do it. So I suppose I shouldn’t have been so gentle with him to begin with”
>Even before you finish your statement the spokespony is snickering beside you, forcing back laughter
>He quickly gets control of himself and pats you on the back
>”You’ve got quite the confidence, don’t you? I admire that, but there’s no way in hell that a pony like you is going to beat a griffon like him. But nice joke, what with the whole ‘I shouldn’t have been so gentle with him’”
“Heh, yeah… Joke”
>”Anyway, do you think that going at it alone was a good idea?”
“No, not really. I maybe should have called the cops and just tried to keep him from leaving if I could”
>”There you go, that’s a decent answer. Now pay attention everypony, this stallion right here could never subdue a shoplifter that size, so in these situations its best just to try to keep him from rubbing off and call for help. Alright, now that that’s over, you two can take your seats”
>You and Pen walk back up the aisle, the pony speaking into the microphone as you do
>As you sit back down, the griffon leans over and whispers to you
>”Of good job Gar, you actually took candy from me. We of go somewhere special tonight as celebration”
