This is Gruff. He’s one of two non-Norn creatures I have in this world. The other, of course, is an Ettin.
Gruff’s an introspective, sad guy, which makes me sad. He got stuck in the yellow life boat and I had to rescue him from his position. When he was freed, he was basically left to his own devices for a little while. At least, until I found him on the bridge.
While the Norns did their own thing for a while, I decided to follow Gruff around and get to know him.
At first, he wasn’t sure what to do with the top I brought him. He just stared at it and then tried to run away. I didn’t think he’d played with any toys at this point so it wasn’t too surprising. Once he did play with it a little, he was back to watching the weather.
It was actually sort of difficult to draw his attention away from the clouds. I even had a little difficulty getting him to eat. He just seemed like a quiet, somewhat lonesome guy. I’m glad I took a few minutes to tend a few of his needs.
