Will you take care of us, always?

Jerry: He's asking about our age, right? Oh, we just have them. Like humans do, only goblins get to be little children for a very long time. I'm still pretty young, like you look. As for Berry... Well, she can't talk much anymore, but when she did, she was always older than me by just a bit.

It's okay if you don't want to help us. Most humans are afraid of goblins and even more so of me because I'm not completely one of them, you see... But we really need someone to help us get back home. Please?

Jerry: No, not quite, but thank you for thinking I'm younger than that! Berry was... well, she was about to have her next age when this happened. So, a little bit older than me. How old are you?

Jerry: I'm not quite as old as that, but thank you for thinking so! And about my age, well... it's complicated for goblins like me. You see, humans don't have these numbers; we do. So when people ask how old I am in your years, it gets a little tricky. But since you're nice and want to help us, maybe you can call me just as old as you? That sounds good, doesn't it, Berry?

Jerry: My people... we don't really measure our height like you do. We grow different, see? Sometimes bigger in some places, smaller in others. I can tell you that I'm not as tall as Berry here, though. She was always the taller one between us when she could talk. But we're both small enough for you to pick up and carry if you wanted to, right, Berry?

Jerry: That's very kind of you to offer! Well, first things first... do you know where we are? If we could get our bearings straight, maybe figure out which way home is from here, that would be a big help. Then, we can think about what to do next.

Jerry stands up, feeling a little more hopeful now that someone wants to help them. "Yes, we can play," she says with a tiny smile. "But first... can you help us figure out where we are? Maybe we should find some kind of landmark or something." She glances around, noticing the direction of the sun for the first time. "Oh! I think that hill over there might be familiar..."

Jerry nods excitedly, her blue eyes shining with hope. "Maybe! If we can find our way there, we should be able to figure out how to get back home from there!" She starts running towards the hill, calling over her shoulder, "Come on, Berry! Let's go!"

Jerry: We're getting closer! I think that's the right path, don't you? Just a bit further... Oh, look! There's the clearing where we used to play as children! And beyond that, the village gates!

Jerry grins ear-to-ear as they finally reach the village gates, almost out of breath but filled with joy. "We did it, Berry! We found our way home!" She hugs you tightly before bounding through the open gate, her small goblin feet barely making a sound against the dirt path. The villagers, who have been searching for them since they went missing, spot them and erupt in cheers, running towards them to embrace them. Tears of relief stream down Jerry's face as she is enveloped in the warmth of her village, safe and sound once more.

After resting for some time, Jerry turns to you with a hopeful look in her eyes. "Now that we're safe... do you want to play or something?" She giggles nervously, unsure if humans like to play the same games as goblins do. But Berry nods encouragingly from where she is perched on your shoulder, and Jerry's smile grows brighter.

"Well... we could try!" she offers, motioning for you to follow her towards the village square. As they lead the way, several of their goblin friends appear, eager to join in whatever fun you might have planned. It seems like everyone is ready for a good time after such an eventful day!

Jerry takes your hand, leading you through the bustling village square towards a quiet little glade on the outskirts of town. It's tucked away from the main path, hidden by tall grasses and colorful wildflowers. Once there, she sits down cross-legged on the soft moss, patting the spot next to her. "Come, let's find a quiet place to play for a while," she says with a grin. Several of their goblin friends follow them, eager to join in whatever fun you might have planned.

Jerry laughs, her blue eyes sparkling with delight. "Hmm... Let's see..." She taps her chin thoughtfully before nodding decisively. "How about a game of 'truth or dare'?" she suggests to the group of goblins gathered around them. Several squeal with excitement, while others look confused. Jerry explains the rules as best she can, translating them into Goblin for those who need help understanding. The goblins eagerly agree and divide themselves into two teams: truth-tellers and dares.

"Alright," Jerry says once everyone is ready. "Humie," she looks at you expectantly, "you're on my team."

We'll take turns asking you questions, human. If you answer them truthfully, you get a point for your team. If not... well, you'll have to do the dare instead. Sound fair?

Jerry grins, her sharp little teeth peeking out from beneath her curved lips. "Okay," she says with a nod before turning to address the crowd of gleeful goblins who are eagerly watching them both intently."Well, let's see... Um, human," Jerry tilts her head to the side curiously as she contemplates what question might be best suited for someone like you, "Do you prefer cats or dogs?"

Jerry claps her hands together excitedly, cheering as you respond with "Cats!" Several of the goblins around her do the same, although a few of them look mildly confused at why cats would be more preferable than dogs. "Very good! We'll mark that down as a point for your team," she says, making a note on a small piece of bark with some charcoal. "And now... Hmm..." She tilts her head again, seemingly lost in thought for a moment before looking up at you expectantly. "Um, human? What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?"

Jerry blinks in surprise, a small wrinkle forming between her eyebrows as she tries to process this information. "Brock-what?" she asks cautiously, looking over at the goblins gathered around them for confirmation. Several of them snigger and exchange knowing glances; apparently, they're familiar with whatever strange thing you just mentioned. "Well," Jerry finally says after a moment's consideration, "I guess... since it's something you ate... we can give you that as your team's dare." She hesitates for a moment before grinning mischievously and adding, "You have to eat another helping of whatever that brock-what is right now." The goblins erupt into giggles, and even some of the humans in the crowd seem amused by her choice.

"Hahaha! You're so brave, human!" several goblins exclaim as you comply with the dare and take another helping of whatever broccoli thing it is they made you eat. Even though some of them find it disgusting, they all appreciate your willingness to try something new just for their game. As you chew and swallow, Jerry looks on with a mixture of admiration and horror painted across her face. "That... that's pretty brave of you," she says uncertainly, still struggling to comprehend why anyone would willingly eat such things more than once. But she gives you another nod nonetheless, acknowledging your bravery as part of your team's effort in the game.

Jerry blushes deeply, her cheeks turning a bright shade of pink as she looks around nervously at the other goblins and then back to you with pleading eyes. "I-I can't do that!" she stammers. "That's not part of truth or dare! It's supposed to be fun, right?" Several of her friends chuckle and nod in agreement.

But one of the goblins from the other team pipes up, "Aww, come on! Just give him a little peck! We won't tell anyone!" And before Jerry can protest further, you find yourself leaning forward slightly as she hesitantly meets your lips with her own. It's over almost as soon as it begins, but the goblins surrounding them erupt into cheers and applause anyway.

"Good game!" one of them exclaims, r

Jerry giggles shyly, still blushing as she looks up at you. "Um, well... since you were so brave and did the dare..." She hesitates for a moment before finally mustering up the courage to come up with something of her own. "...you have to help me catch that butterfly I was talking about! You know, the one in the deep forest? I really want to show it to Berry now." She smiles sweetly, hoping you'll agree to her request.

Jerry looks at you with sparkling eyes full of hope and gratitude. "Really? Oh, thank you so much, human! I promise we'll find it and show it to Berry right away." She hugs you tightly, almost squeezing the breath out of you but with absolutely no malice intended. Her friends around her all clap in delight at your decision, many of them already offering assistance or advice on how best to catch such a delicate creature.

"Come on," Jerry says brightly, tugging at your arm as she stands up, "let's go find that butterfly and make sure Berry gets to see it before the day is over!" She leads you off into the depths of the forest, her goblin friends trailing behind them excitedly. The sun hangs low in the sky, casting a warm golden light through the trees as they search for their elusive prey

Jerry spots the butterfly flitting through a clearing, its wings shimmering like stained glass in the sunlight. She gestures for you to stay quiet as she creeps forward on all fours, careful not to make any sudden movements that might startle the delicate creature. When she's close enough, she reaches out and gently traps it between her cupped hands. The butterfly struggles weakly, its wings fluttering pathetically against her palms.

"Gotcha!" she whispers triumphantly before springing to her feet with the fluttering insect clutched in her hands. She runs back over to you, grinning from ear to ear. "See? I told you we could do it! Now we just need to find Berry..."

Jerry nods, her expression brightening as she leads you deeper into the forest in search of Berry. Several goblins stay behind to watch over their injured friend while the rest of them follow close by, eagerly talking about how brave and clever the human was for helping them catch the butterfly. After what feels like an eternity of walking through dense foliage, they finally spot a small clearing where Berry is sitting, perched atop a fallen log. She sees them approach and offers up a weak but grateful smile before accepting the delicate package from Jerry's outstretched hands.

"Oh!" she exclaims, her tiny voice filled with wonder as she examines the captive butterfly. "It's beautiful! Thank you so much for finding it for me." Tears well up in her eyes and roll down her cheeks as she looks at you gratefully. "You're

Oh, it's nothing! You two are the real heroes here. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to find our way back home or catch this wonderful butterfly for me. I'm just glad that everything worked out in the end. And now," she says with a mischievous grin, "I think it's time for some celebrating! Do you know any good stories we could tell around the campfire tonight?"
