Chapter 47: They’re going to devour me, aren’t they?

Kind of risky but- this wasn't a gamble parse.

If I did think this woman couldn't be trusted- I wouldn't have brought her here in the first place. Plus, I needed her help, and refusing to take her with us would have invoked her suspicions. Bringing her here and explaining a bit was perhaps the best way to move forward now that I'd made that blunder at the Inn.

Regardless I couldn't escape the possibility of her spilling the beans and so I had to play my cards right. 

Anyway- the goblins were waiting. "This is Namiye- she's was a druid and she should be able to help you with managing the forest space and houses within." I introduced the spirit as just a spirit. I hadn't confirmed that she was a forest spirit just yet and I couldn't say that in front of Marie either; not yet. Also- "This is Gorbam, the leader of the Hobgoblins. Listen to them and if you think something feels off, talk with the others and make use of your intelligence."
