She hadn't had much of a chance to get away, giants may be slower then other races, but the sheer size of their stride allowed them to easily make up for their slowness in reaction speed. So it wasn't much of a surprise when she was cut off by the 17 foot tall monstrosity before her. Grot peered at her in a curious way as she spouted off some nonsensical protests and something about other little people coming after him and causing him trouble. Causing Grot trouble? Not very likely, he was the great beast of the east, no little one could best him! Grot couldn't be stopped! At least.... not as far as he was concerned anyway, until he saw an imperial legion chasing after him, he wasn't worried.
Grot chuckled at his new pets threats of other little folk chasing after him but grew concerned at her complaints of being in pain. Holding her at eye level he cupped his hand to allow her to simply sit somewhat comfortably before responding. It wasn't like she would jump 16 feet to the ground below after all, and his new pet did need to be comfortable. Grot snorted annoyedly as his newfound pet continued to angrily protest her situation, he'd been nice hadn't he? He'd decided to make her his pet instead of eating her, that was normally looked at as a nice thing to do right? "You know, I'm starting to get the feeling you'd rather be eaten little one. I thought I would allow you the honor of being my pet instead of eating because you share such a unique complexion as mine" Grot grumbled as his other hand suddenly appeared behind Xando, gently stroking her hair which the giant had seemed to be particularly facinated by.
Grot pondered carefully before answering his pets questions, after all, he had to be sure he said things just right, other wise she may get the wrong idea about her situation. Being that giants are prone to ponder things for an extended time, agonizing over every detail until they were sure they had it right, this process took some time, time that Xando spent having her hair stroked by a giant that could likely crush her with one hand. Grot's brow furrowed up in an obvious sign of deep thinking before finally, after much consideration deciding on his answers. "All I expect of a pet little Xando, is that they do as pets should do, obey their owner and provide decent company. I see your kind the same way as you view cows or chickens, as little more then livestock. You however little one interest me, you are elf I am sure, but I do not know your kind. I like things that interest me and as such, I have decided that you will be my new pet, and your home is now with me" Grot spoke, his voice showing very little concern with Xando's opinions on the matter as he continued to curiously, yet very gently stroke the elf's silvery hair.
