Orchid wasn’t surprised by Crispy’s reaction. Not just Crispy disbelief of her origins (Orchid could hardly believe it herself) but also his reaction towards the others. Frankly she was surprised to see the pixie again. Not particularly pleased either, but she wasn’t going to complain too much about it. Ash introduced herself peacefully enough, and the pixie decided to introduce himself with some sort of profound prophecy which made Orchid tempted to shoot him down right now. Crispy, naturally, thought this was all a trick. She needed to dispel this immediately and put a hand on his shoulders to bring him back to his reality.

[color=firebrick]”This isn’t a trick Crispy. Like I said before the monsters were acting weird. No… They’re just like us now. They talk. They’re as smart as you and me. They’re even willing to work other other monsters to survive. That’s why when Rattleskull started going around killing the others in the cave, all the monsters came out and fought the goblins instead of each other. Things are [i]changing[/i]. You’re going to have to get used to it. Otherwise you’ll end up like old Rattleskull.”[/color]

Orchid was starting to get tired of having to constantly explain things to Crispy, but she’ll have to keep going at it if she wants to get the goblins on her side. While she has some influence, the other goblins will fall to Crispy’s side now, and until she can gain the loyalty of the others he controls the goblins. She needed to say something that could calm him down and make him not feel the need to be so paranoid about these monsters. Even if Orchid has to lie. 

[color=firebrick]”They actually helped me survive before I met the other goblins. If they wanted to kill me they could have when I was still weak and stupid. But they didn’t… So I trust them. And if you want to survive, especially outside of the cave, you need to trust me too.”[/color] Orchid pointed towards the forest and wanted everyone heading in that direction. [color=firebrick]”Now let’s go before any unfriendly monsters find us. I only got the ones who I could trust. Who knows what else will leave the cave now that Rattle is dead and new monsters start moving around.”[/color]
