He stared at the family as they talked to each other. He was glad goblins families weren't like that. It was enough to put him off his lunch. Which he could smell coming from his desk.

He pulled out the probe. Which looked like a mechanical spider. With his finger he depressed a button under its belly and the thing sprang to life. Sturnik pointed to the boy and the probe scuttled across the desk and leapt at the boy attaching itself to the boy's clothes. It climbed up his back to the top of his head where it swung down to shine a light into the boy's eyes. After it was done it stick a leg into the boy's ear before sticking another one up its nose.

Having down that it crawled back down the boy's back toward the boy's bottom. A quick mechanical whiff sent the spider scuttling up the other way however. The spider poked and prodded the boy none too gently for a few more minutes before hopping off and running back over to the goblin.

Sturnik picked up the spider and brought it up to his ear. She spider leaned in and whispered a few words with the goblin. He nodded and set the spider down and pointed to the witch.
