Goblin: "sigh…"
Me: continues working
Goblin: more dramatically "Sigh…"
Me: I'm going to regret asking "Yes, Lizzy?"
Goblin: "No, it's nothing sigh"
Me: "Okay then"
Goblin: "SIGH"
Me: … "What is it, Lizzy?"
Goblin: "This is just goodbye"
Me: "Goodbye? Are you going somewhere?"
Goblin: "My time is up. I am not long for this world. Everything around me… grows dark. I am simply unable to go on…"
Me: "Dinner's not for another hour and a half"
Goblin: "I now shuffle off this mortal coil" flops dramatically to the ground, weakly saying "good… bye…"
Me: "Okay, well I generally appreciate the time we had together."
Goblin: springs into my lap and climbs up to look me in the face "I said Goodbye!"
Me: "You're still not getting fed."
