"What… What?"
Globb looked around in confusion. He registered the question, but he didn't understand what it meant. He subconsciously reached for his tool belt. Usually, it would have something to soothe him, but his eyes went wide with panic when he didn't feel it.
He thrashed, and only then seemed to finally realize that Grey was still holding onto his arm.
It was at that moment that Globb's eyes glazed over. He seemed to receive new information as he stared at the iron jaw on Grey's face.
"Ha… hahaha…"
If Globb noticed the tool belt on Grey's hips, he didn't say anything about it.
"You succeeded. You really succeeded."
Tears welled up in the gnome's eyes. He tried to blink them away, but they only came faster.
"Thank you, thank you so—!"
