"You want to play cat and mouse with that? No thanks! We've done our duty! I'm going!"
The arm went racing out towards the voices, and just before it might have reached them, Oliver saw two figures, about the size of large rabbits, scramble their way on top of a rock.
Oliver was so stunned he felt the point of his sword lower. He'd never seen anything like them, nor even heard of anything like them. They looked like men, if not for their size. They had large noses that looked as if they had been drinking too much from their redness. And each of them sported a unique beard, and large pointed hats that fell down well over their eyes, and made him wonder how they ever managed to see anything at all.
Even hardly being able to see their faces, Oliver could tell that they were almost as shocked to see him as he was to see them.
"Who's-- Argh! Not the time!"
"Run! Run! I don't wanna be gobbled!"
