The troll stands like a stone, totally immobile, with its arms crossed. It doesn't seem to have any hostile intent, but nor does it seem to want to move. "No crossy! Stupid humies take my favorite rock! Steal it! No crossy until humies give back!" Gynnie looks up at the troll. "We're not those...'humies'. In fact, I'm an elf, not a human." The elf's logic seems to have little effect. "All right, what did they look like, the humies who stole your rock?" Gynnie barely avoids rolling her eyes.The troll would clearly be a dangerous opponent, and while Danielle wasn't confident about her odds of facing it in direct combat would be poor, but the redhead offered a calm smile, not getting to close until it was ready to allow her. "We don't mean to disturb you. We just want your permission to cross. What would you want to convince you?"
The troll thinks for a moment. "Ink! The humies had ink all over their skin, and one had a blanket on him, covering his whole body. Stupid humies." The troll spits contemptuously. Gynnie looks to Danielle. "I'm guessing the ink refers to tattoos. Only people I know around here with tattoos are a local gang. Way I see it, we can try to look into the gang, or find another crossing further away. You're the boss, so it's up to you, though."
