As she laid down next to him he watched as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep. He took his arm and instictively wrapped it around her as they laid under the warmth of the sweet smelling blankey. He felt himself slowly begin to fade away as he took one last look at the girl who had come from above, then he whispered, "goodnight my princess," and drifted off to sleep.

"Some of them I picked up in the village, most I just taught myself," he said laughing as she watched. When she had gotten into the hammock next to him he layer back and his leg brushed up against hers as he began to settle down for some sleep. "Well I think I sleep quietly," he said with a chuckle, then looked at her curiously, "do you sleep sitting up or are you going to lay down? And if it's okay with you can we share the blanket again?"

When she asked about marking his territory he just smiled even wider. "Its best you don't ask," he said. When she went to get the blanket he looked at the other hammock and started wondering how he could tie them together. He could easily tie the ends side by side with three more or so in the middle, as long as it eas tight enough no one should fall out. She came back and pulled out a large blanket and pulled him up mext to her. When she wrapped the blanket around them he could feel the warmth from her body as they were pressed close together. He had shared blankets with people before, but it had always been in a desperate attempt to not freeze, this, this felt different somehow. He began to blush a little as his arm brushed against hers. "I'm-I'm going to put the hammocks together," he said and wriggled out went and untied the other hammock, he grabbed a few spare vines and started tying the two hammocks together. When he was finished he hopped in the hammock and motioned for her to get in beside him.

When she bolted up in the hammock he let go of her foot and sat up with her. He wrapped an arm around her in an attempt to soothe her. "No wild animals come on here believe me, I marked my territory," he said with a grin from ear to ear, "it does get a little cold in here though, we don't really have blankets here," he said thinking about his baby blanket in the other room. "If you want we could just share a hammock to keep warm," as he finished talking he thought back to all the cold cold nights he had spent alone, shivering, calling out for someone, anyone to help him. He laid back in the hammock and went back to work on her feet awaiting her answer.

As his heart jumped at the sight of her dimples and he blushed just a tad when she said yes and locked her eyes onto his once more. He shifted to the side and moved her feet into his lap, and picking one of them up began slowly massaging it, starting with the ball of her foot while his other thumb ran facross from her ball to her heel. "I think its just a goblin custom, we had a lot. If you think this one is a little strange, some things were weird to other goblins and were only in my village, we used to all bathe naked together, i once went to another village thinking it was the same there, i got correctly pretty quick on that one," he said chuckling, "The foot massge is more as a courtesy. Basically a while ago the only way to go from village to village was by foot, so as a thank you to visitors you would massage their feet, or if it was a really long walk you would massage their body, my mom ran a hospital so i massaged alot of feet back then, and I'd say i got pretty good at it, but goblin feet are boney and hairy and aren't half as nice as yours," he said, then picked up the second foot as he took in the sight of her. He had seen 'beautiful' goblin girls before, but they were nothing compared to Rosemary, her eyes set on him again as he watched her, he realized she was right, this had been one of the best days of his life.

"Don't worry I'll handle cooking if you want, and ya it sounds like a great idea, certainly better than getting mauled by wolves," he said, his attention once again drawn to her beauty from head to toe. "I'll go take care of the tub," he continued hopping up and running down to the bath chamber. When he arrived he pushed in a wooden plank and the water began draining out of the tub. When the last slurp of the water had finished he stood up an began to head back to the hammocks. When he arrived he got back in the hammock with Rosemary and looked into her beautiful eyes. As he sat there he remembered a custom from his village for whenever guests would stay. "If-if you want," he said nervously, his crooked nose twitching a little,"i could massage your feet, it-its a custom in my village,"

His cheeks turned as red as the strawberry in his hand when she giggled and then sat next to him. As she spoke he listened intently cherishing every word of their conversation. Then thought about it for a few minutes. "I think there might be a cotton field somewhere near here,I seem to remember some travelers coming through this area once, I think they said something about cotton" he said, "as far as food goes I kinda just taught myself how to cook over a while," he continued, a little bit proud that she found his cooking good. "After a few years I just got pretty good at it," he looked over at the beautiful girl next to him and realized just how lucky he had been today. This morning he had been all alone, wondering where he would get his next meal from, but now he was sitting next to this princess who had literally fallen into his world, enjoying a great meal and actually talking to someone other than himself. "That tub in there," he said,"I Made it myself using some stone and wood, I even added a spot for the water to drain out, I can go take care of that If you want to sleep," he said before leaning over towards her and sniffing, "You smell like apples," he said matter-of-factly.

Footsteps could be heard echoing through the cave as Rosemary walked into the main chamber. Gryson was sitting in one of the hammocks ripping into a piece of wolf when he saw her. Her hair wrapped in the shawl and her petite frame wrapped in the beautiful night slip making her look the princess she is. Her clean bare-feet a sight he hadn't seen in years, even when he had been in the village the female goblins had ghostly-white hairy boney feet, but hers seemed soft and tender. It was as if a goddess had entered the room with him. At the sight of her he lost track of what he was doing and simply sat there until he remevered where he was and simply asked, "strawberry?"

Gryson stood up and walked out of the room and tried to think. "Towel, towel, oh those," he chuckled a little remembering the posh cloths of a luxurious village he once visited. "No, but I have some moss you can use, I'll grab you some." Then he walked down a corridor and grabbed a pile of moss. Then walked back down the hall to the bath chamber and tossed the soft moss to Rosemary. "Enjoy." He said, "I'll go look for some fruit to go with dinner, be right back,". And then he went out of the cave . As night was falling he walked down to a nearby patch and picked some bright red strawberries. He grabbed as many as he could carry and went back to the Cave.

"Alright hurry back," he said as she once again left the cave. He took the roasting meat off the spit and began to portion it out, then went to check on one of the side rooms. He walked into a room off the right and pulled back some vines he had strung to the ceiling. He went in and saw the few meager things he had left from his days in the village. He sat down and picked up a piece of cloth. He thought back to the days when he would carry this little blanket with him everywhere, and when he would wonder through the woods, it would remind him he would be home someday. "This isn't just a cave anymore," he said to himself, "its a home, no more running, I'm home,"
