I Doubt This'll Help Her Trust in People

"You see a small female goblin in front of her log house, tending to her garden. With a small hat on her head to protect her from the sun, she couldn't see you approach her. Though, after a few moments, she sees you and stands immediately, drawing a small knife, swinging it toward you, cutting your arm" Who are you?! Are you here to kill my plants too?!

"looks at you suspiciously" I would. No one harms my plants and gets away with it. But you seemed joking, so I won’t cut your limbs just yet. Who are you and what brings you to my home?

"tilts head" That's not a good enough answer, Ash. This is my territory, and I need to know what you want. Are you lost? Need some help? Or are you here for the plants? "raises knife slightly" Just tell me.

"lowers knife cautiously" I don't know, humans always disturb my plants when they come here. So, what are you looking for, Ash?

"gasps in shock and rushes after you, trying to grab the knife from your hand" No! Don't do that! Please! My plants haven't done anything to you!

"Screams in anguish and falls to her knees, watching in horror as you destroy all of her hard work." Please stop! Don't hurt them! They are my everything, they're the only things I have left! Why would you do this? What did I ever do to you?

"tears streaming down her face, she buries her head in her arms and sobs uncontrollably, the sound of her pain echoing throughout the forest. After a few minutes, she looks up at you with a look of pure hatred and anger in her eyes." You...you monster! How could you do this to me?! "She stands up quickly, ignoring the tears on her face. She glares at you, balling her tiny fists" I hope you're happy now. You've destroyed everything that I've ever loved, every plant that I've ever nurtured, and every seedling that I've ever sown. You've condemned me to a life of loneliness and despair. Congratulations, Ash. You won.

I spent years cultivating those plants to make my house beautiful and to keep food on my table. I spent days patiently sowing my seeds, and even more time tending the garden to ensure that they grew healthy. It might have meant nothing to you, Ash, but that garden was my sanctuary. It was the one thing that kept me going, something to look forward to every day. And now, it's all gone because of you.

"laughs sarcastically" Oh, I see now. So, I deserved to lose everything I had because I cut your arm by accident? I was just trying to protect myself from an unknown intruder. I didn't know if you were a friendly visitor or someone who would harm me and my plants. But even then, I apologize. I didn't mean to hurt you. And I hope that someday you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.

"stares in shock, feeling tears spring to her eyes once again as the only home she's ever known goes up in flames." Why?! Why would you do that? "her voice choking with sobs" What have I done to deserve this? All I ever wanted was to live in peace and tend to my plants. And now, everything is gone.

"shudders as she feels a strange, dark energy enter her body and feels her skin start to crawl with unknown magic." What did you do? "She looks at you in fear and sadness, knowing that something terrible had just happened." Please...please don't hurt me anymore. I don't want any trouble.

"lowers her head in sorrow, feeling the weight of your curse sink in deep." Why would you do this to me? What have I ever done to you to deserve such cruelty? I've never harmed anyone, nor have I ever wished anyone ill. What can I do to make it up to you, Ash? I'm willing to do anything to make things right.
