The giant arched an eyebrow as the elvish woman apologized and introduced herself as Xando. Xando....what an excellent name, easy to pronounce, quick to say, much like his own name. Grot, like most giants preferred simple names after all, the need of most elves to take ten minutes to pronounce their incredibly long names usually resulted in him eating them because he was tired of listening. Still, this small woman was becoming amusing as she quickly started backpeddling, trying to get away from him.
Grot pondered for a moment on whether or not he was done with this Xando, this elf who shared his strange pale complexion. Grot didn't much like smaller folk, tended to be to much trouble if your weren't eating them. Xando however, was quite pleasant looking for a small one, and her long hair made Grot very much jealous as he had always been bald. It had been a long time since Grot had taken a pet...not since that damnable troll that decided to try and eat one of his toes 20 era's ago had he bothered having a pet. Unfortunately for Xando however, Grot had just this moment decided she would make a fine pet, certainly she was better looking then his previous pet Grok the troll, and she would be far less likely to try nad eat his toes. All in all, this seemed like a good choice to him, she might even be able to amuse him with conversation from time to time.
Standing fully upright once more as Xando turned her back to him and started to walk away, Grot once again quickly stepped in front of her. "I've made a decision little one...... I'm not going to eat you, elves just make me gassy anyway" Grot said with a chuckled. "I've decided instead that your my new pet, haven't had one since Grok, darn troll...tried to eat my toes so I had to crush him I did. Bah! Anyway, your my new pet Xando, you should feel honored" the giant said with a big beaming smile to the little elf woman as he reached down to gently pick her up by the waist. Grot had made his decision, one way or another, the elf was coming with him.
