#VEMON CARE KIT

[undead-merman]

A goblin man tries to mug you. He has large pointed teeth, a broken and chipped knife, and an awkward yet excited stance. And you just kick it to the side, not wanting to deal with this right after work. But during that brief moment, he sees your faces hidden in the hoodie. A human! A rare find, he's entranced by your strength and keeps trying to court you on your way back from work. 

He tries really hard to figure out what humans like, but it seems to be mixed up since he knows so little about 'wooing' stolen rings in old fast food burger boxes; weeds with thick roots still covered in massive dirt; half-melted chocolate bars, some half eaten. He lets you meet his dog, a small blink dog, untrained but affectionate to both its master and you. 

You are being mugged again, this time by a yuan ti with a much sharper, vemon covered blade, claws, and large fangs. Then your small friend gets them to jump on that yuan ti screaming "Don't touch MY human!!!", though not without a strike to the face. You're able to deal a knock out blow but he's quivering on the ground clutching his face saying it doesn't hurt when his nose is dripping blood. 

You take him and his pet to treat his injuries. He's sitting on your toilet lid as you fish out a first aid kit. He's admiring everything and smiling at your counter top, the shower products before you treat his nose. It hurts like hell and he throws a fit. But hey, it doesn’t hurt as badly. And that bandage you put on? Well, it's a gift. A gift from his human!! He beams at the bandage, even if it's a dinosaur or Hello Kitty design. He loves it. A gift in his society is rare; only other goblins who care deeply for each other do this. 

You really are the one for him.
