The go through some notable length to keep themselves safe and you contained. It eventually occurs to some of you that they are going through a lot of trouble. But they never torture you, or muzzle you, or do any of the things that you gnolls would do.
They never threaten you with death or harm. They do feed you food that you don't like, and sing happy halfling songs. They magically have you washed and calm and silence the area magically when needed.
