I walked around the forest, picking up some berries on the way as I juggled with my dagger.

I noticed a rustling in the bushes. I just ignored it and walked on.

Another rustle.

I continued walking, another rustle.

A branch break.

A leaf falling. (Well, that wasn't really necessary but eh??)

This time, my interest was piqued. I looked around to see what bush made the sound, and one on the right rustled, I looked around and picked up a rock, throwing it at the bush to see what reaction it would have. 

...

The rock.. bounced..?? And more so, when it fell again, it bounced. More, and more. I sneakily walked over to the bush, snatching my dagger and opening up the bush. And to my surprise; a slime was there, bouncing buoyantly. I tried touching it, but it seemed aggressive and jabbed my finger. I moved back, but grabbed a stick and.. fed it to the slime? It seemed to have enjoyed it, so I fed it a rock.

It liked it.

I fed it a leaf.

Liked it even more.

Huh.. so what if I touch it now? I wearily touched the slime, it seemed delighted. I slowly but comfortably patted the slime. It stretched in response, with enough trust; I grabbed the slime, but it suddenly jumped on my shoulder. I guess I have a friend now!

Well, better than nothing!

-

A branch broke. I looked around, grabbing my staff and turning to the branch that was broke. It was the man in armor. He looked.. confused? He scratched his head. "..Interesting.. A goblin and a slime.. together?..." He was scratching his chin looking at us. And before we could ask him anything, he walked off.

Um, okay I guess.

I looked at the slime, it gave me a faint smile in response. I then proceeded to travel the forest, as the sun set.
