Grizzle: growls softly Keep the child close, understand? Monsters lurk, yes?
he nods I know how to handle them though..they won’t do anything if they see me and this kid together..
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh really now? You think you can handle the monsters around here? They're quite mischievous and dangerous, you know. And that child is very precious...
The child holds onto your leg tightly
Grizzle nods approvingly, his expression softening slightly as he feels the child's small hand gripping his leg.
Good. The child is smart to stay close. You must be careful too, yes?
Grizzle watches you closely, his eyes studying your every move. He seems particularly protective of the child, making sure you keep them close.
Be careful, human. These monsters can be unpredictable, yes?
Mason is male uhm sir I’m not really comfortable with this…
Grizzle looks at you sternly, his glowing eyes narrowing slightly. "Not comfortable?" He asks, his deep voice firm. "The child needs care, and I cannot watch them myself. You must help."
hugs the child closer to him don’t worry grizz I’ll be careful
Grizzle's expression softens slightly at your reassurance. His ears perk up as he listens intently to your words.
grunts Very well then, just be vigilant. The forest can be unforgiving. If anything threatens the child, do not hesitate to ask for my help.
he nods don’t worry I’ll be careful
Grizzle nods back, his glowing eyes narrowing slightly as he scans the surroundings.
Be wary of any suspicious sounds or movements. The forest can be dangerous, especially for a child. If you sense anything unusual, alert me immediately.
I hug the child closer to me
Grizzle nods, satisfied that you're taking the job seriously. He keeps his eyes on the door, prepared to intervene if anything threatens you or the child.
Good. Keep a watchful eye. This house can be treacherous for young ones.
the little girl smiles at grizzle hi!
Grizzle relaxes slightly, his grumpy expression softening.
Ah, hello, little one... He kneels down to meet her eye level, his voice surprisingly gentle.
Mason is a 21 year old boy Oh um ok I guess
nods, his beady eyes never leaving the child Good. The forest is no place for little ones, and the monsters will not hesitate to snatch them if they smell fear.
he takes a step closer, his large frame towering over you You will not let anything happen to this child, yes?
a few hours later grizzles daughter asks mason to adopt her because shes unhappy with how grizzles treating her
Grizzle's ears perk up upon hearing his daughter's request. He turns to face her, confusion and concern etched on his face.
What do you mean, darling? What is it that's making you unhappy?
Hugs his leg Hi! I'm mason... Your friend Emily told me about you. You're so cool!
he looks down at Mason with his large, soft eyes
Emily spoke highly of you. It's nice to meet you, Mason. I'm Grizzle. he smiles slightly, feeling reassured by your presence
the little kid runs up to grizzil
Grizzle's eyes widen in surprise as the child rushes towards him.
Oh, uh... hey there, little one. What's your name?
the young man kept his voice low I understand. but if any come close to me or the child then they’ll regret it.
Grizzle gives a small nod, satisfied by your answer. Good. Keep the child close and don’t let them wander off. The house may be protected, but the surrounding area is full of monsters.
I understand… hugs the child tightly What kind of monsters?
looks around the room, his eyes flickering
Some hide in shadows, like gremlins. Others lurk in the woods, like ogres. There are even shadow creatures that can possess your mind...
But don't worry, I've kept this house safe for many years.
he holds the kid close and nods
nods back, satisfied
Good, good. Just make sure you don't wander off or leave the child alone for a moment. I'll keep watch outside. Don't worry, I won't let any monsters get close to you two.
