The Goblin motions to you to step into the corn and out of sight of the house. Once you do, he introduces himself as Grit.
In Goblin he says the following:
Please don't hurt Grit. Grit is a good goblin; he doesn't hurt Kyla. You are good people, like the goblins! Please don't let Kyla get hurt any more from the bad man. Grit wants to protect Kyla, but he makes her afraid. Kyla's not scared of good humans--please help her."
When Cid does not appear to understand him, he will speak the following in broken Common:
Grit good goblin. No hurt Grit. Grit no hurt human. Grit hurt bad man. Grit no hurt cow and Grit no hurt Kyla."
