Tabitha came to an abrupt stop, her heels pressing into the grassy path, her brown eyes fixed on a sight she found rather bizarre. Just a tad to the left of the path, a pink blanket had been laid out. Upon said blanket, that same massive goblin from before sat, a small potted cactus sitting at the monster's right. Strangely enough, the beast appeared to be enjoying a cup of tea, holding a teacup in its right hand.
The pink haired girl tensed as the large creature's eyes turned towards her, its lips twisting into a distorted smile. As if in slow motion, the goblin stood up, its figure big and imposing, its eyes still on Tabitha. Slowly, as if it had all the time in the world, it pointed at its own two eyes with its free hand and then at the pink haired woman. Keeping up its slow pace, it bent over and picked up the potted cactus before backing away into an oversized bush.
"Did that actually happen?" the shocked woman commented, her brown eyes on the bush the creature had disappeared into. Well, it hadn't completely vanished. She could still make out its unsettling eyes from within said bush, a shiver running through her.
"I really should get back to camp." The color drained from her face as she took a few steps back, her eyes still locked on the bush concealing the monstrosity. Finally, she about faced and broke into a frantic run.
