You must bring us, a Shrubbery.

Grim tipped his head at the comment about being there to rob the place, Grim was a lot of things, but thief definitely wasn’t one of them. Unless you counted thief by extension when Cheese Ball liked to steal people’s shit, but usually it was food or socks, nothing valuable.

Well, if there are socks in that ruin, we’d best keep Cheese Ball here away, he’s a sucker for a pair of good smelly socks. Really the only thieving I can be accused of, is what food and socks Cheese Ball here steals from people and I’m left to pay the price. Cheese Ball tipped his head and looked from Grim and then over to Ruth. Grim hadn’t given him the run and hide command, so he was taking that as a sign that Ruth could be trusted, at least for the moment. Grim then shrugged at the comment about his health.

Don’t really sleep good any more, not since the veil came down. There was more to it than that of course, but he didn’t want to burden some stranger he’d only just met with his problems. Vassenia had said the same thing about him, the way he looked. Though Vassenia got to learn the true extent of what was wrong firsthand when he passed out while they’d been fighting. Floki stayed near Ruth, sat down on his hind legs, panting. He didn’t seem to think Ruth was a threat either.
