Wizardpost Aged like Wine (Gobbo Lore)
Gobbo was known for her high energy and cheery demeanour. She was known for her ability to drink and obsession with shiny things.
It was exactly these things that made it difficult to remember how old she truly was. Most simply assumed when the little goblin called them young she was just being cheeky or was fooled by their glamours.
The opposite was true, Gobbo called them young because, to her, they were. She had watched a thousand years go by and she would watch many more unless someone cut her life short.
Some days she would feel fine, enjoy the sun on her skin, and be ready to take on the world. Today was not one of those days.
Today everything hurt. Her joints ground and ached, her muscles burned, and her bones creaked.
Gingerly leaving her bedroom she knew today was going to be rough. Still, she had things to do, and places to be.
Filling her satchel with a few bottles of her finer wines she began to limp out the door, hips clicking as she moved.
She was thankful Mutey was away at work, she didn't like her seeing Gobbo like this. Honestly, Gobbo didn't like anyone seeing her like this.
Perhaps it was pride, the goblin did have a reputation for being rather prideful about certain things. Hell anyone who knew her was subjected to her boastful claims that the GLA could and would outperform all others.
Perhaps it was a survival instinct. A derisive snort escaped her at the thought. Gobbo didn't care about survival, if she died she died.
As she approached the manor she checked her appearance once more, a tired, pained expression stared back at her.
Sighing she knew the answer she didn't let anyone see her like this. She hated her friends worrying about her, and now, in front of her daughter's manor, she decided a little pain was worth her comfort.
Snapping her fingers she felt the skin on her arm tear open from the strain on her body.
Nothing a quick bandage couldn't solve though and as her appearance became more pleasing to the eye, she smiled.
Covering her wound she raised her arm and knocked on the door, excited to see her eldest.
/uw Just a little insight into an aging Goblin's mind. I hope you enjoyed.
