As Gina saw the shield she was overjoyed but, decided to hide it. As she pats his back urging him to take it. “I won’t force you to be a devoted follower but, please at least try to be a good one…” She said blushing as she turns around the voice of another catching her off guard as he declares his desires to become a disciple of the eternal mother.
“Thank you Arch.” She said as she pats the lonely goblin. “Lets try our best to become a good follower.” She said as she pumps her hands up.
Even without Gina's urging Zats would have tried to take the shield, though he was surprised with how heavy it was and secretly wondered if a physically stronger Goblin wouldn't have been a better choice. Still he managed to lift it."Of course I'll try. Thanks Shirila." As he studied his new piece of equipment he wondered what kind of magic could protect wood from fire and if he could learn to do something similar one day, as he was sure that could prove useful.
And he also got something incredible! It was perfect for him. A way to always be able to contact Shirila, no matter where he was. He elated, it was even briefly shown in his face! Suddenly then, he was pat and came back to reality as it was.
His expression got serious again before nodding at Gina seriously and pumping his hand, "Let's do our best." He nodded again.
“YES!” She yelled out as she imitates the goblin as she pumps her hand up. Then she looks and goes up to zat. “ So you have a duty to protect me and our allies then.” She then pats him as a faint blush shows from her cheeks. “I’m going to rely on you, so do a good job.” She says as she quickly looks away to prevent him from looking at her.
”Now can you listen to me, I have something important to tell you all.” She says to the two as she wants to tell them of the skeletons. “I need your help, I need you two clearing the shrine from the skeletons.” She announces with a serious tone.
Goblin Arch nods at Gina before saying, with a good amount of confidence, “That is doable, however I’d need something better than a horn… a solid wood branch would be needed at least. Then if one lures and he blocks, I come from behind and break the legs. Breaking the legs always works.” With his VERY LONG EXPERIENCE, he knows that breaking legs have always worked with him, so breaking legs will certainly work. After all, what can fight easily with broken legs?
While Zats had to admit Arch's idea was good, if Gina had gotten her sword form one of the skeletons she was talking about he would like at least some training with his shield. "That could work, but if possible I would like to get some practice in with this shield first I would make a lousy defender if I can't move it fast enough to block. Also maybe we can have someone distract the skeletons while we're fighting by throwing rocks at them from a distance."
She listened to him as she produces a mischievous grin.“Oh I volunteer then.” She said as she readies her sword. Her leg now feeling a bit better than before. “I also need to practice how to use this too.” She without a word and warning she swung her sword to the right of his shield with a few of the rusty parts breaking apart as it contacts with the shield.
Fortunately they didn’t get flown directly to his or her face or eyes.
Arch nods at Zats, "Alright, I'll be getting some solid branch around, I'll be back in a moment." But before he can say much, Gina speaks... and attacks Zats? "Well, you two practice a bit while I get something. Just avoid getting hurt, I'd not want to search for herbs and stuffs for any more wounds today." He sighs a bit, before looking at the rabbit in his hands, "Also, anyone wants a bit? We can't fight while hungry."
Zats silently agreed that fighting on an empty stomach was stupid, but was too focused on another attack from Gina to reply. He had no intention of being caught off guard again, even though her only attack so far was focused solely on his shield. Keeping his eye on her he positioned his shield so that it covered him as much as possible. He quickly found out though due to his size wielding the shield like that also limited his field of vision too much and experimented a bit until he found a decent medium between defense and sight.
She smiled as she sees Zat’s changing the position of his shield careful to make sure that her strikes won’t get through. She pumps up as she sees that she can go a little rough, so she comes in raising her sword up in the air.
But, instead of swinging it down towards the defender, she drives the hilt of the sword onto the shield, then altering her sword’s angle to the sides sliding from the top onto the bottom of the shield. Focusing onto the shield as she didn’t want to hurt him despite how much of an idiot he was.
Once again Gina surprised him, if Zats didn't know any better he would think she was trying to destroy the shield Shirila gave him. He wasn't sure it would work but he had no intention of finding out, after all it wasn't like any of their lives were in danger. He let go and hoped and dropping it wouldn't worsen any potential damage the wood had endured.
It was certainly a surprising fight from a third point of view, Goblin Arch carefully watched his... commarades. He'd be fighting along them, understanding how someone else fights certainly helps in working along with them.
But as he did so he barely noticed himself ripping a rabbit leg out and chewing on it as the fight went on.

That explained everything. What a lovely goddess, to save him the trouble of asking her what she wanted. And then more pleasant interactions between Gina and Zats. Truly a wonderful pair. Thus the quiet goblin stood there, looking at the pair and the show. He even got a gift for it. Regardless, her ways were ones that'd he'd have anything against following, it was basically what he had in mind for himself after all, so there'd be no problem to be himself in Her name.
That said, would there be a better moment to declare himself one of her followers than now?
"Goddess Shirila, please allow me to be your follower as well, now that I've understood better what it meant to properly honor and follow you."

Just had to catch up with everything and only had a breather... in the last few hours this week. If time comes for you to post you can do it without worry about me, I should be able to post in the next few hours integrally though. My last post was messed up xD Didn't notice that there was a page left to read.
Yup, she probably found the one that was looking for her. But seeing more than one Goblin coming around, and one of them even offering to kill Gina's pet didn't quite make it easy for the goblin wielding the rabbit horn to relax.
Goblin Arch seriously looked at the little rabbit on the ground and then ahead at Gina, and even further towards Luz.
As the pet quickly settled on top of the strange grave. She quickly felt that it had an comforting vibe to it that unlike the skeleton before held a more safer or a sense of security as she sees her pet’s reaction with it. She then looks to her companion, grinning as she steps out and examines the uncovered grave, obviously the one she slain yesterday inside the church. She claps her hand as she bows down.
“Please Shirila guide him.” She quickly prays her heart at eased as the once cursed creature has now been put to rest. As he sees the little rabbit just going over to the grave, he lets out a quiet sigh... but then looks over at Gina asking, "Is that how you, speak with Shirila?" He looks over at the dug up grave, "Do you think that there is anything left in there?" He glances at Gina's sword thoughtfully. It'd be good to get something better than the branches he can find here and there, or the horns... since they are as small as they are. She looks to him with his sudden question and lets out a lonely smile. “For now yes.” She answers her tone that of some sorrow. “Well, if you want to you can try to get yourself one of these.” She suggests to him as she points at the graves. “You are welcome to but, I have to warn you that this couldn’t go well.” She says as she pets her rabbit letting him decide what he wants to do. In answer to that, he gives her a chuckles followed by a light smile, "Unless you think I'd be able to beat it with a dead rabbit, I don't think I am qualified for the fight right now." He sighs, "And it'd be wrong to dig up the one that isn't a skeleton," or at least, he assumed that the undisturbed one wasn't a skeleton, "It is resting and won't bother us, so it should keep resting."
With that though, he only looked a bit closer at the empty grave, who knows maybe there was something still in there, that wasn't a skeleton. She laughs due to his reaction. “That's what I thought before I took one down.” She says a overflowing optimism present in her voice. “You won’t know unless you try it but, you can always pray to the eternal mother if you need better guidance.” She retrouts as she hears the a faint scream from the side of the church.
“Hey do you hear that?” She asks as she sticks out her head trying to see if she can hear them more. Arch chuckles along, "As long as I ready myself properly, there shouldn't be a problem. I don't think anything can fight too well after breaking its legs." He grins slightly, but as he hears... a voice? Voices? He reaches for the horn he is carrying and wields it. He looks towards the corner he thinks those with the voices may come. Who knows, they might be aggressive. Seeing the goblin readying himself for a fight as he waits to see if the assailants were hostile or not. Gina quickly goes to him as she pats him in the back. “So what do you want to do?” She asks seeing the small horn his been gripping like a dagger.
The rabbit seeing her master and ‘friend’ make an defensive or cautious move it quickly makes its way to the corners and peeks from the corner not seeing anything but, hearing the same faint voices as before but as time goes by grows in strength as time goes by. “If hostile, we fight. If not, we don’t. If they end up being too strong, we can run towards the cave. Might hurt your leg a bit, but we should be able to do it.” Arch sighs quietly, as he feels the situation growing tenser as the voices come closer. He couldn't even attempt to hide, else if things went badly he might really have thoughts of leaving alone.

He can’t make sophisticated medicine but can now craft items that will ease pain and prevent infection.
"...a leg?" More meat for him for now, if anything he won't have to hunt anything else if Gina does find something worth trading for, "Alright." The goblin nodded resolutely as he ripped out the front leg of the rabbit and left it on the ground by goblin grandpa, "I'll be back quickly," before running out of the cave... with the dead rabbit in one of his hands. He remembered seeing blue berries and yellow berries, but surely, he'd be able to find orange berries somewhere around somewhere around. Thus he went about looking from bush to bush in search of the orange berries.
Then again, why should a lone goblin care? Why not? He can leverage better space for himself in the church when the goblins move in there, certainly. As for running back and forth, he had enough time to hunt more for himself, helping out a single goblin in need only benefited him in the end.
