[Klitri]

It had been a long day on the hunt, a sasquatch had gotten the jump on us and almost hurt Boshkuc, my friend and bowman.

Luckily, a clean shot to the Sasquatch's head knocked it unconscious, and I gave it a quick death.



When I got back to my village, I shared some of the meat to the local home tree villagers (We're humans living in a forest retreat, kind of embarrassing but it's a long story.)

After that, we were so tired. We went to home tree and began to get ready for rest. Everything was pretty! And the night was so peaceful.

There was only one issue.

A goblin, talking to an elf that CLEARLY didn't want to talk to him.

After minutes of talking about his feelings, I'd had enough.



Hello



I'm sure it is, jerk, we're trying to sleep though!



Oh, you think you overindulge sometimes? Overindulge in CONVERSATION maybe?

The goblin would turn his head quickly, speaking to both the elf who didn't speak to him and me.

I'd had enough!



Clearly offended, he said somewhat timidly, "I don't know what to say."



I repeated myself again, hoping he would get the hint.



He did, and agreed to be quiet.

I said goodbye and turned my head over, and heard not a single PEEP from him for the remainder of the day. Ah, silence is golden.

[Authors Note]
So the story is exactly as I'd told it, the goblin was SO annoying so I thought "Maybe making it value stoicism would cause it to shut up about his feelings?"

It did, and thus a new appreciation for values was born in my mind!

Funfact, the last picture's captchta was "Silence is golden." What a coincidence!

Thanks for reading !

ITT: A chatty goblin with PERSONALITY:PRIVACY:100 gets told to sit down and shut up. That is terrific!

(We're humans living in a forest retreat, kind of embarrassing but it's a long story.)

Your human civilization thoroughly stomped the elves that founded the retreat during world gen. They're dead, that's good, amen, end of story, am I right?

It's not always a happy story. Last time I ended up with tree dwelling dwarves was because they'd taken a real beating and the remnants of the civilization found an abandoned retreat to flee to.

Still, rejoice in the fact that the former elven inhabitants had all been brutally murdered many years earlier by the local titan I suppose.
