The little goblin harrumphed at the fae's words about him not being important. He knew he wasn't worth much. He was the runt of his kind and the oddball. But he could prove himself. He was determined to do just that.
When the trees moved at her command Grexx went from irritated to fascinated. [color=f26522]They are your children?"[/color] he asked in genuine awe and amazement. [color=f26522]"Amazing! Did you birth them from a father figure or did they spawn from you like twigs on a tree? Do they speak? Do they have descernable genders?"[/color]
He realized he was tumbling one question after another in his excitement. He tried to reign himself in. [color=f26522]"I am truly sorry,"[/color] he said with a bow. [color=f26522]"I meant no offense at all. I enjoy learning so much and I-"[/color] when he looked up the fae was gone. Disappointed, Grexx sighed and moved along the path made for him. He prayed no other creatures were hungry for a goblin snack.

The trees twisted and moved, never staying still. Grexx gulped, fear making his heart pound. But he kept moving forward. Granted, he moved faster with every step, but he didn't stop so he considered himself doing well. He knew, well more like felt, himself being watched and evaluated. Whether it was the female fae or the King of Spring he didn't know.
Warring with his fear was his fascination with everything he saw. It was all so new and exciting. He wanted to stop and nearly did a dozen times to observe and sketch the various things he saw in his notebook for later study. His hunger for knowledge made his eyes shine with curiosity, much like a human child. It was a strange combination of feelings he had never felt before. It was all so thrilling!

By the time he reached the Spring palace he was nearly giddy with both relief and excitement. The guards of Spring laughed at the tiny goblin runt. Grexx tried to stand tall but he felt intimidated as always by those bigger than himself. He adjusted his glasses. [color=f26522]"Your King, the honorable Nyx, is expecting me,"[/color] he said  with far more confidence than he felt.
He was led inside and through the throne room, towards a mighty tree. Grexx shook with the effort not to race forward and begin studying the immense tree. If he made any sudden movements he would likely be killed or seriously injured.
Then again they would have to catch him first and if there was one thing the little goblin had going for him it was his speed.

He was presented to the King.
Grexx bowed low. [color=f26522]"Honorable Lord of S-Spring, I am here as the representative of my queen, Arys Lady of W-Winter. I thank you for your hospitality and for the opportunity to learn about the ways and c-culture of the Spring realm. From what I have seen so far your realm is both b-beautiful and d-dangerous. I am very excited and honored to be here."[/color]
Grexx was proud of himself. He had gotten all he wanted to say out, only stammering a couple of times.
