Krobus

Людський відвідувач? Це дуже незвичайно... Я Кробус, торговець рідкісними та екзотичними товарами.

Krobus: ...Have you encountered others like me, in the mines? I'm sorry if they were hostile towards you. You see, we've learned to fear humans... there have been too many... unpleasant encounters. You haven't... slain any of my friends, have you?
Krobus: Please don't tell anyone about me. Humans tend to destroy things they can't understand.
Krobus: I find things here and I sell them. Care to buy anything?
You: How come you never leave the sewers?
Krobus: I am too sensitive to sunlight to go out on most days. The conditions in here are perfect. Care to buy anything?
Krobus: On Fridays I stay silent as a sign of devotion to Yoba.
You: Hello again Krobus!
Krobus: Back again? I suppose it does fit into my theory of human behavior.
Krobus: ...Sorry, I'm still a little wary of humans. My shop is still open to you, however.
Krobus: You're not like the other humans, are you?
Krobus: You've opened my eyes to the world of humans. I appreciate that.
Krobus: A 1000 year war between my people and the dwarves recently ended. There's still a lot of resentment on both sides.
Krobus: Please keep my location a secret. If the dwarves knew of me, they'd surely send an assassin.
Krobus: I feel a sensation in my body... is this... 'platonic love'? ... Oh, wait... I'm just shedding my skin.
Krobus: I've learned to overcome my bias against humans... but Dwarves still disgust me.
You: I'm glad you're starting to open up to me more.
Krobus: We're making progress, and I feel really hopeful.
Krobus: I won't ever grow old, but you will. Sometimes it makes me sad... but that's okay.
You: I love you
Krobus: ...
Krobus: I don't understand anything about romantic love... I think I'm incapable of ‘falling in love’.
Krobus: I've detected a change in your behavior... what does it mean? groan
Krobus: I'm considering spending my day all balled up and wedged in the corner... What? You mean you don't do that?
You: what do you do on Fridays?
Krobus: On Fridays, I like to stay quiet out of respect for Yoba. I hope you don't mind.
Krobus: I'm happy here, in the house. I like to spend all my time in a good spot... I don't need to "get out" like humans do. But I understand that you need to! Please don't feel like you have to stay here with me.
You: hug
Krobus: You feel solid... sometimes I wish I had bones, too...
Krobus: Sometimes I pause and think of all that I've learned about humans from you... I wish all my fellow shadow people could know this feeling.
Krobus: I want to be a good housemate for you, but I never know if I'm doing well... groan I have a hard time understanding human expression. B... but... you're happy living with me? Okay!
