The young goblin soon enough found himself in front of Goblin Grandpa, "...grandpa," The goblin's voice started quietly, "I need your help. I found a goblin that has hurt her knee far from here. The bone doesn't seem to be broken and it doesn't look too bad, but she can't run because of the wound." He sighs, "I was planning on giving this since nothing came for free, but... would you accept this in exchange of helping me to help her? Please." The young goblin asked, tilting its head a bit forward.

Wasn't sure! You were already reading the page by the time I finished editting! So I thought it was better to let you know instead of you re-reading everything wondering what I might have changed or something of the kind! :D Now though, gotta get to the cave, xD And talk to goblin grandpa! :D *runs all over the place*
And as the rabbit became defenseless, he hit its head with the branch. Well, Arch was getting the hang of the whole hunting alone thing in the end. You just have to go slowing and immediately incapacitate the enemy. He picked the rabbit up and was about to wander back to the cave, as it did go far faster than expected... but as he moved on he noticed that there was an area were animals always moved away from.
He had the rabbit in hands, so maybe if he found something ferocious he could just throw the rabbit at them and run off. It was a sound strategy, after all, why would something pursue food if food was just thrown at it?
As he moved through the forest though, he heard a voice... "..zat! ..anyone!!" It wasn't coming from all too close, but it was loud and clear. It even sounded like, a goblin! So quickly he began rushing towards it... but then, he suddenly sees a building. And a hurt goblin before it! He hides besides the closest tree, observing the surroundings just to be sure it isn't a trap. Who knows? Maybe someone thought it was a good idea to use their kind as bait and eat them up. But his mind didn't keep that thought for long as he soon stepped out saying, "Hello." Not even speaking too loudly, on hindsight, he hasn't spoken much. He waved the hand holding a tree branch as to make it easier for the goblin to find him. His other hand though, was even holding a rabbit.
As she heard the goblin calling out to her she was relieved to see that someone was able to hear and come to her aid. I’m here.” She said as she waves her hands towards her rescuer. She raises up her sword so that to make sure that the other goblin was able to see her.
Her rabbit strikes a post as she sees the branch in his hands. She sees it and the rabbit in his other hands. She pats the rabbit to make sure that he wasn’t going to go on a rampage. “There there, I’m sorry if its your friend but, I’ll make sure that not too much of your kind perish.
She ends as she watches the man for his next move, her pet still enrage but, calmer than before.
"I can see that," Goblin Arch lets out a sigh before he begins to walk closer, "But what happened to you? And..." He looks at the rabbit that is with her... he peers at it. She doesn't even seem to be keeping it as food for later, no need to keep it as food for later, there are lots of rabbits out there to hunt, so if you wants to get one this early, they would just need to go out there and get it.
The goblin who stopped himself in the middle of a sentence shook his head before saying, "And, what place is that?" He pointed to behind Gina. He didn't expect to find a, building like that in the forest, much less this close to the cave. Not that it was all that close, but when you expect nothing at all, finding something is always a surprise.
“I’m Gina“ She said glady smiles as she extends her hand. Gesturing him to shake it, as she introduced herself. [color=red]”This is gonna be our new home.” She follows as she points at the doors. But, for now I need medicines.” She quickly adds as she points on her bloody knee. Also this is my best friend.” She says as she points at her vigilant rabbit.
“Its a long story one that I will glady tell if you get me something to fix up my knee.” She proposes waiting for his answer.
"I am Arch," he replied and with some hesitation he got close enough to her to actually shake her hand. His eyes turn to the building once more, before he nods, "I see," and then he nods as he looks down at her knee. He blinks a few times after she calls the rabbit her best friend, but then again, it isn't his rabbit. Why should he care if it is her best friend?
"I can get you something, but I'm afraid I'd have to go back to the cave ask Grandpa something for it. I, could help you to get back there after I eat." He replies, "And you can tell me the story on the way back." He smiles widely.
“Nice, but I'm gonna stay here for now, but if you know someone by the name of Zat I have to pay him back big time.” She says with a hint of malicious intent, as she grins at him. “Also can you get berries for my friends.” She continues as she sits down and sighs in relief as she was finally able to get someone to rely on.
"Alright, it shouldn't take too long to get there, but it might take a bit to get something to help with your knee." Arch hms, seeming to not even notice the tinge of malicious intent on Gina's voice, "I'll keep that in mind, but about the berries, no problem, not sure if there are any around here, but they eat the blue ones, in case you want to try to look for hem nearby."
“Its fine I can wait for it, its not like I have something to go to.” She says as she takes pats the head of her pet. “You can freely hunt for now, I will wait for you here.” She says as she keeps on patting her pet wanting it to become more powerful and to be able to eat as she can’t really do must on her own and not wanting to make the rabbit go hungry.
"I will be off then," Arch looked at her and her rabbit for a while, "For now you are my priority, hunting isn't hard if you are just doing it for oneself, if you get me extra things by the time I'm back I can hunt you a rabbit later today for you to eat as well." He chuckles, "Also, tell your little one to not get distracted while eating." He nods while looking at the rabbit seriously. It was more of a tip than anything, after all they truly were very easy prey when they just ate mindlessly.
With that though, Goblin Arch turned around before beginning to walk away from the building with his rabbit and branch in hand. Only starting to run once he was out of the clearing.

A lone day of hunting. What else could he ask? It is not like teamwork was necessary for his survival currently, and if it became, one only must work harder. It isn't like he had refused to ever work along with anyone, but he'd have to admit that it is good that there is no one around to hinder him.
As for the rabbit, it was just like the last time. Though this time it was far more sleepy, thus it was a perfect target. He grasped his Tree Branch more firmly as he moved as silently as he could. He would be waiting silently, even breathing as slowly as possible since the forest was probably quieter now than when there were goblins roaming around.
And as soon as the rabbit started much, he would slowly sneak upon it before striking its hindlegs with the tree branch as firmly and strongly as possible. Hopefully, this would be an easy one. This way he could get a rabbit for goblin grandpa before the sun was high in the sky.

As Goblin Arch woke up for his well-rested night, he began stretching. He stood up after some yawning and began stretching a bit, before letting out a sigh. Today, he had to get more than just one rabbit! As he saw Goblin Grandpa already awake there, he pondered a bit on whether or not to talk to him there and then, but it was a better idea to only talk after he had successfully brought a rabbit to repay him.
With that in mind, he checked if the branch he found was still solid enough, gripped on the rabbit horn he had obtained in the previous day, and set out. He briefly stopped by some nearby bushes to eat a few blue berries to ensure he had no hunger before his first hunt and finally set out in search of rabbits. As before though, he made sure to stick to trees and keep himself low to not lose the element of surprise.

"It is getting too late already..." Goblin Arch mumbled as he failed to find rabbits, "They probably went off to sleep." With that, he retreated to the cave. There was certainly still things to be done before he went to sleep. Maybe he could get tips for tomorrow while he was inside. Exploring the cave might be a good idea, if it is even big enough for exploration." WIth such thoughts in mind, after his arrival back into the cave, Goblin Arch would explore it, going along the walls and touching them every now and then.
