Third Person's POV:

Andrian took his time to look around Gulliver's big mansion. Well, it looked more like a haunted house for him. The place was so dark and the mood was kind of grim, but he did not even complain because Andrian was the kind of person to look more on the better side of the person! If you could remember, he had already forgiven Gulliver-- slightly, that is.

As he was lost in thought, he started wondering about the rules that Javien told him. Certainly, they all seem reasonable. Well maybe except for that one simple rule. "Hmm. Why wouldn't he want me to talk about love?" He thought."Not that I would mention a topic as sensitive as that, but why bother making it a rule?" He said in a whisper as he bumped on a little troll-- one of Gulliver's slaves. "Oh, I'm sorry! I was absent minded!" Andrian apologized while crouching his legs so that he could see eye to eye with the little troll. The troll was was so small that even when Andrian crouched, he would be taller than him! Andrian was actually so fascinated by this creature that he started poking it's little green nose out of curiosity and instinct!

The little troll then, blushed and moved further away from him, unable to speak. Andrian scratches the back of his head while apologizing repeatedly.

"I-It's okay, hu-human." The troll said still blushing. Andrian wanted to talk more to the creature so he sparked a conversation. With no thinking, he said "Are you trolls naturally green? And if you get tanned by the sun, do you little guys get more green?"

A/N: The troll was too stunned to speak. Hahaha.

The troll was speechless. At his part, he thought how could a human say that. Is he insensitive? or is he dumb? Does he not realize that that was actually offending?

Andrian was left crouching there, so he asked him again "Was that offending?"
"Hell, yes it is." The troll exclaimed.

And with that, Andrian stood up apologizing again--for his insensitivity. The troll then said...

"Imagine if you humans were us trolls and I'd say that to you-- wouldn't that be offending?"

"Well, maybe it would be." Andrian said thinking. "Don't even think about it!" The troll said punching him a bit.

"Anyway, what is your name, little troll?" Andrian asked." You can call me Tony." He said with this adorable smile that surely made Andrian's heart melt. "Aww, that's a nice name. I'm Andrian! Nice to meet you, little Tony." Andrian said offering a handshake-- he then, puts his hand back, realizing that little Tony can't even reach. And so he crouched back and put out his palm once again with a pretty smile.

Little Tony happily accepted his handshake." Wow! Humans' hands are really soft!" Tony said while pinching his soft pale hands.

Andrian just smiled and they went to the kitchen where little Tony works.

A/N: Aww our Andrian has made little Tony his friend already!

As both Andrian and little Tony bake some apple pie in the big kitchen, Andrian asked him many questions about this place and their world. He even tried asking more about Gulliver. Like what his favorite food is. Of course a wholesome question. And Tony said that the master likes apple pie and that is why they're cooking one right now. Andrian asked what kind of a master Gulliver was, and Tony answered that he was a good master although he is often easily annoyed. Andrian laughs a little, "He does seem like a lady on her red days." And they both laughed in joy. Little Tony could not believe he is getting so much joy from talking to a human and laughing at his own master's irritability!

Andrian silenced down a bit as he remembered that Gulliver could read minds. "What if Master Gulliver can hear our minds now?" He said covering his mouth as if it'll cover his thoughts. "Do not worry. The master is probably out on business." Tony replied. "Speaking of business, what does a God do on a daily basis?" Andrian asked as he uncovers his mouth and helping little Tony wash the fresh apples. "Well, Gods usually do whatever they want, but they also grant wishes especially to humans. But right now, I only think the master is out resting." He said with a smile as he chops the apples.

"Oh, one more! Do you know why I'm here right now?" Andrian asks, eyes widened. "Well, I do know that the master has forcefully casted a spell on you and now you can be considered trapped in his abyss." He said without looking. Without hesitating, Andrian asks the question he's been so curious of--"Um. Am I the first human here except for mister Javien?" And when Andrian asked that question, Little Tony stopped chopping the apples and he held down his kitchen knife. His mood seemed gloomy as he said.

"You are not." Little Tony spoke in a sad tune as he glanced a bit at him but then after a while, he returned to chopping the apples.

"This is not a safe question and answering it isn't safe either, but I believe you need to know." He said and Andrian was also eager to listen.

"You see. The master is called the God of Greed for a reason. He craves for many things and he is impulsive, and he always get what he desires-- but 'love' is the only thing that he hasn't got. Gods don't really have hearts like most creatures, like me and you."  He said pointing at his and Andrian's chest.

"And so-- the master greatly yearns for that feeling called love. And he believes that he can only get it through a human."

Andrian pat his chest and thought how sad it must be to not feel love. But he wasn't satisfied yet and he tries to ask one last question.

"What happened to the humans then?"

Upon saying that, Tony looked at him deep in the eyes.

"I am sorry but I cannot tell you any answers further than that-- at least it shouldn't be me answering your questions, that is."

He said and the mood turned grim
