411 Grok's Lament

Grok was noticeably pouting while the rest of the team packed up to get ready to move on to the next village that morning, and it was clear that he blamed Wolfe for his predicament.

It might have been partially Wolfe's fault for forgetting to put up a sound barrier, but the Goblin was taking it much harder than usual since he had certainly heard more than one or two makeout sessions at the Academy and likely even a few of them involving his Witch. She was quite popular with the Guardians before the draft, but Wolfe wasn't sure how much of that Grok really remembered at this point.

His mind had advanced a lot with his evolution to a Goblin Paladin, and he was much more simple-minded when he was first summoned.

One of the Mayor's assistants greeted them as Wolfe led the group downstairs. "Don't run away without breakfast. It's a simple fare, but we've got plenty of eggs, plus biscuits and gravy ready down in the staff kitchen."
