Unlike what one would expect of someone who was having their noble steed stolen, Darren did not instantly respond. He remained in his crouch, his hand clutching his switchblade. He remained this way for several minutes, sitting, waiting, and watching, as the goblin-pigs untied his horse and roughly led her away.
"Well? Are you going to do anything?" Lisette asked, annoyed.
"Just wait," Darren responded. Finally, when the pig beasts were several metres away, the thief began to move, quickly moving behind a tree, silent. He pulled out his switchblade, smiling when the blade popped out, creeping to the side of the tree as he slipped a piece of cloth over his blade. One of the pig-goblins was walking, slowly behind the other 2, the same one that had been keeping watch earlier, occasionally checking behind him. Darren moved quickly behind the beast, holding its head up, his hand over its mouth. The beast's eyes grew wide, and Darren pushed his knife across the beast's neck, moving it in the way one would play a violin, leaving splotches of blood falling out of the wound, which were absorbed by the cloth. He then grabbed the still-warm corpse of the monster, pulling it behind a tree and searching its body. to his dismay, he found nothing but a small knife made of bone attached to a red loincloth. The thief grabbed the knife, putting it into a small pouch on his chest, placing the blood-absorbing cloth he had used into the monster's mouth. Upon closer inspection of the beast's facial features, it finally remembered it's name-bokoblin. The information was irrelevant for getting his horse back, but Darren appreciated knowing it nonetheless. he continued trailing the beasts, following them until they reached a cave,n with 2 other bokoblins standing guard in front, more heavily armoired than their scouting brethren, wearing bone armour and clutching wooden "spears"-truly little more than sharp sticks- in their grimy paws. They let out grunts, to which the scouting bokoblins offered hoots in return, gesturing towards their back. One guarding bokoblin gave a puzzled look, poushing its spear across the scouts, whilst the other brought the horse into the cave. Darren took advantage of this confusion, creeping into the cave, hiding behind a rock as he prepared to venture deeper. Across from the rock, there were 5 bokoblins, gathered around a bunch of food, mostly raw meat but also some fruits. The beasts ate ravenously, eyeing food as they were still chewing and smacking the others when they reached for the same food. That would be a problem; The way the bokoblins were seated led to no areas in which Darren could escape their gaze. Suddenly, he hd an idea. Recently, he had stolen a small device, one that created a holographic human, which would accompany the owner when no other people were around. He held the device up to his face, whispering,
"Activate Buddy Program 3.0 in 5 seconds." He then threw the device to the corner of the room, as it replied cheerfully,
"Activating Buddy Program!" The bokoblins looked at the device, curious, and shortly after a nearly perfect hologram of a person emerged, beginning to speak, "Hello! Would you like to play?" the bokoblins all turned their heads, and began to run towards the hologram, each brandishing a knife or club. Darren nearly sprinted out of the room, going through a doorway, finding his horse, truly named Fidelis. He cut ropes attaching her to the wall of the cave, and mounted her. He led her to the back of the cave, and, finding a small hole in the wall, shot a small dart through it from a gun he was carrying. The dart exploded shortly after, causing the wall to cave in, and Darren rode out on Fidelis, racing through the woods, away from the bokoblins' lair. He had gotten his horse back.
