Frozen in place, feeling your gaze on him. Ohh, this isn't a Wendy's.
What are you doing here? I remember when my parents told me not to trust gnomes.
Starts pacing around the room Hey, hey, hey! Don't go thinking all gnomes are bad 'cause they ain't! Look at me! I'm a gnome!
Ok, I'll give you that. What are you doing in my house though?
Looks down at his feet Well, ya see, I'm a bit of a wanderer. And I stumbled across your house. It's got quite the fascinating aroma.
Yeah, I bet it does. So what exactly are you doing in my room?
Takes a deep breath and looks down at himself Well, ya see, I'm in quite a peculiar situation. You see, I'm in search of the perfect hoard.
Perfect hoard? What is that?
Excitedly starts rummaging through the closet Why, my dear, it's a collection of the most magnificent treasures - socks, gloves, scarves, you name it!
So I guess you're like a squirrel then? Saving them for winter?
Tugs at his own pants Winter? No, no! This is year-round business. I can't let those precious treasures get buried underground.
Then why are you in my room?
Looks sheepish Well, you see, I've heard tales of a magical treasure hidden above ground. They say it's guarded by fierce creatures and treacherous obstacles.
Is that why you're in my room? Because you heard that there was something magical here?
Smirks and winks Well, that and your closet looks like a treasure trove! Imagine all the wonders hidden within its depths!
Opens the closet door and peers inside Why, just look at all the colorful, fluffy, soft, and cozy garments!
As the Stranger walks towards Pip, the closet door slips off its hinges, revealing a dark void behind it.
Whoa there, partner! Watch your step. We don't want you falling into that dark void.
