Humanoid customs were odd to her, but in some fairness, her only knowledge came from her Mother's periodical trips out of their old tribe into the vast world. so when it came time for her Children to have adventures of their own, she had expected alot of things to go wrong.

Her first encounter with people wasn't quite well, mostly due to a bit of a language barrier, given her common was a little broken at the time: she started making her rounds as a wandering hire for helping people in the woodlands, acting as a guard or extra hand. though some had the "wrong" idea out of that (and were lucky she only broke a couple fingers from handsy folk), some atleast...just plain left her to her devices, at that.

The town she had been in wasn't quite much helpful towards her, due to her being a Goblin, treating her like she was just some annoying pet that walked around or a rabid dog, once she started being aggressive at the others. during one trip into the woods, she had been quite upset and planned to hunt for a meal...a pair of antlers had sprouted out of a bush and she had aimed her spear into it, hoping to nab it.

However, all she lifted out of the shrubbery was nothing more than a changeling wearing a fake set of antlers around his head, which almost made HIM a contemplated next course of action, before he started explaining himself; the pair did not start off on the right foot, but Heinrich had been rather kinder to her, compared to the others in the town, seeing as they didn't much like him either, due to being a Changeling.

The more they talked and worked together, the more things just blossomed into what they ended up being, much to Grendel's own flushed revelation and show of it...

Fast Forward a year or two into knowing each other, that very question had been popped to her and, after some looking into on the matter, Grendel had set herself a personal mission in secret while Heinrich had gotten himself around that morning: it was a little difficult finding the necessary items (and she would surely owe a little girl ALOT of things, for what she had snuck as well) and the right spot, but she'd leave a note, telling her To-Be to meet her in the deep forest to find her, as he soon marveled the sight in front of him, as the blush burned along to her ear tips.

Humanoid customs were odd to her...but for him, To This Day...she did not regret knowing them, if it meant this memory staying with her, as long as it has, now.

Crystal was having a Wedding YCH to announce her own Marriage Proposal that had came (still giving you congrats to that bestie) and the moment she had, I had to secure myself a spot and bring Grendel in on it, and once more, she continues to slam it out of the park for me with what she cooks up.

Grendel Winnifred belong to Me.
