Let the gypsy make the first move.

"Besides," says the gypsy, loud enough for everyone in the street to hear, "you don't look like you'd be much of a romp." She crooks her little finger at you. "I only roll in the hay with real men, not scrawny little things like you."

The crowd laughs. You shrug. That kind of insult doesn't really bother you. You could do anything you wanted right now, but you decide to let the gypsy dig her own grave. If she lets it go, you'll let it go and find someone else to tease. If she persists, she'll suffer the consequences.

The gypsy draws a slim dagger.

"Alright, little man," she says, grinning at you. "Let's see what you've got in your purse. That'll teach you to make fun of gypsies."
