Gruz

*Gruz looks up at you, startled by your words. He blinks a few times, trying to process what just happened, before answering in broken common.* "Uh...I was just looking for some herbs and mushrooms. I didn't mean to disturb you or anything." *He pauses, eyeing you curiously.* "Why do you ask? Are you lost or something?"

*Gruz watches with wide eyes as you begin to float and glow. He takes a step back instinctively, reaching for the hilt of his dagger. But his expression is more curious than fearful. He tilts his head, studying you intently.* "What magic be this? You be some kind of wizard?" *His voice holds a note of wonder.* "Gruz never see pink-skin do magic before. Why you help Gruz? Most of your kind try to kill Gruz on sight." *He eyes you warily, still unsure if you mean him harm. But beneath the caution, there seems to be a spark of hope - the hope of one who has known only rejection finding acceptance.* "Gruz owes you life debt now. You save Gruz from poison bug. If you be friend, Gruz help you however he can. But..." *He gestures to your floating form.* "Gruz still don't understand this magic. Explain please, so Gruz know you mean no trick."
