"Huh, so I reckon you're a slime then?" Steve asked the little child that was standing at the height of his knee.
Said girl was green all over. Her hair, her skin, her fingers, arms, legs, feet, everything had the same slimy green pigment. Even her dress had that liquid-like green texture. The child herself was young, very young. She was also currently kicking the shin of the miner with all of her strength, her face was even scrunched up cutely as she tried to kick him harder when he showed no reaction at all.
Steve, seeing as she was doing no damage to him, continued to watch the child. "You're not doing any damage" She gave a particularly hard kick at the comment, not that he felt it "And you're almost as small as a baby mob" her tiny fists joined her feet in her ineffective assault "You must be a tiny slime then."
The slime stopped her attacks to frown at him, though it came off more as a pout rather than a frown "So what if I am, got a problem with that?"
"No, not really" Steve answered as he knelt down to look her in the eye. "Huh, I never thought that you could be this small." She responded to that comment by resuming with her attacks, with the same ineffectiveness as before. Though he had to admit the fists felt slightly uncomfortable, like rain whenever he would stare up into the sky.
"So you're just going to keep doing this?" Steve asked.
The little slime stopped her punches and glared into his eyes "Why wouldn't I? I'm a mob it's my duty to take care of Overworlders like you" she pulled her tiny fist back and punched as hard as she could "And I'm going to start with you." She resumed her assault on his face, this time she added a few kicks to the mix.
"Gotta hand it to ya Herobrine" Steve muttered under his breath as the little girl tried her hardest to harm him "Your mobs are loyal if nothing else."
The miner stood up suddenly, causing the poor slime to stumble as one of her punches didn't land on flesh. He turned around and started to walk away.
"H-Hey!" The tiny slime cried out. With a huff she stomped towards the miner, who had turned back to her with a raised eyebrow "You're not supposed to just leave, I'm supposed to despawn you" It was probably supposed to be a threat, but the childish pout that she wore ruined it. That and the fact she wasn't even at the height of his knee.
"You're not doing any damage kid" Steve told the little slime.
She stomped her foot on the stone floor, making a little 'squish' sound as she did, and pointed at the miner "I can keep trying you know!"
Steve chuckled "Sure, you can follow me back to home if you want to keep trying." It was a nonchalant dismissal, he didn't care if she did follow him home.
Though the sudden horrified gasp that she let out made him pause in his steps. The miner looked over his shoulder to see the slime girl had taken a step back from him, with a hand placed over her mouth.
"Y-you're not going to pull a Jerry on me are you?" The little girl fearfully asked.
That made him furrow his eyebrows "Pull a what?" He asked in confusion.
"You're going to lead me to the surface, then you're going to erase my instincts as a mob, then you're going to make me friendly, then you're going to…" The girl trailed off her voice growing faster as each explanation.
Meanwhile Steve himself was merely watching her with slight amusement. At least until a large green hand slapped him across the face.
This time it did damage, taking a large chunk of his hearts as well as sending him face first into the wall next to him. It took him a minute to recover, not that he was in actual pain, he was just baffled by the sudden attack.
He shook his head and pushed off from the wall to look at his assaulter. Predictable she was a human turned mob, she was also green as the tiny slime girl who had been (failing at) attacking him. She even had the same green dress that the little girl wore.
The only difference was that she stood two blocks taller than him.
"Juuuust my luck" Was the last thing he managed to say before another green hand smacked him across the other cheek and a third one on the other one. His vision turned black at the last hit. His last thoughts was him cursing at the fact that he left his armour because he thought it was unnecessary.
Serves him right.
The big slime glared at the spot where the Overwolder had despawned, dropping his items with him. Then she turned to the little smile and drew the frightened child to her chest and gently patted her head.
"There, there little smile it's going to be alright" she whispered the comforting words into her ear "The Overwolder will not turn you against your nature, you're safe."
The little slime nodded shakily and rested her head against the large slimes chest.
Steve's eyes opened to the see the bright sky, before he prompted cursed at his carelessness to not place a bed in the cave. He got off from the bed and turned to the mouth of the cave.
And was met with the fangs of a cave spider who had stepped closer to the surface. If he wasn't panicking to get her off of his face he would have noticed that this was the same spider that had bit him just a few cycles ago.
