(Let's keep going with the story, point is I've got no ideas atm so you'll have to take the lead)
17:21:48
(thats fair, ive got a lil somethin in mind anyhow
17:22:00
Bot/Deleted
(Alright nice!)
17:22:10
I slowly managed my eyes open, sleepily moving my gaze around my room as I came to. I still wasn't used to actually resting in a decent room, let alone a decent room in a home I could call my own. I swung my feet over the side of the bed, sitting on the edge as I further cleared the sleepy haze from my head and stood to my feet. I gathered my things, hitching my thick belt around my waist and stepping into my heavy boots.
17:24:52
The lady. A thought appeared in my mind, causing me to promptly swing my bedroom door open and frantically look around the main room.
17:25:23
Bot/Deleted
Luna wakes up very early in the morning, after all her meditation skills granted her shorter periods of rest without any consequence. She snaps out of the catatonic state and takes a look around. That place needed a girly touch, if she had to live there for now. She gets up and catches a broom that was laying against the wall, starting to sweep around. Once the orc enters the room. she gives him a confused look before resuming what she was doing Good morning to you.
17:28:19
I calmed a bit, after realizing she was fine, still there, and hadn't tampered with anything thus far. I cocked a brow seeing her sweeping over the floor. "Mornin'." I rasped out, observing her as she dusted around the floor with the broom. "Ya don't hafta clean up fer me, miss."
17:30:06
Bot/Deleted
She gives him a faint smile, continuing to sweep around and opening the door to toss the dust outside I know I don't have to, but since I'm staying here I might as well help you. You can't take care of a house all by yourself.
17:31:46
I continued to watch her for a moment before shrugging, and stepping outside through the door. "Suit yerself." I walked out of view of the door, trudging over to the far end of the 'homestead', if you could call it that.
17:34:20
Bot/Deleted
After finishing to sweep the floor, she picked up a cloth and went out to grab a nearby bucket, which was already filled with water. She brought it back inside and, kneeling on the floor, started cleaning it with the cloth, rubbing it against the wooden floor
17:36:45
Everything remained quiet for a while. Only the sounds of wet cloth sliding against the rickety wooden flooring and the occasional grunts of effort and stomping about from outside.
17:39:29
Then, in the distance, a horn blared. It was deep, and threatening just by the sound of it.
17:39:59
Soon enough, I came storming back into the house. I lightly pushed aside her bucket and slung the rag from her hands, ushering the lady along hurriedly into my bedroom.
17:40:41
Bot/Deleted
The horn sound caught her attention, but she didn't get too much distracted from her work, continuing to rub the floor to clean it well. Then, when the orc stormed back into the house, she flinched a little turning her head towards him, before being dragged into the bedroom. H-hey calm down! What happened?
She stares at him in confusion, trying to understand what was going on all of sudden
17:42:44
A look formed from a mix of dread and unfiltered hatred was plastered over my face, as I offered naught more than a grunt in response. I kicked open the chest sat at the foot of my bed, reaching in and hefting my axe up out of it. I stared at it for but a moment, before turning back to the lady. "Stay." Quick as we came in, I had stormed back out through the door and into the surrounding area. My footfalls slammed down near the bedroom from the outside, seemingly travelling to the back of the house.
17:45:25
Bot/Deleted
W-wait!
She extended her arm towards the orc trying to stop him, a little concerned as he stormed out with the axe in his hands. She quickly followed him outside, her steps barely audible as she tried to catch up with him and get a glimpse of what was going on
17:47:25
I turned back to chastise her after hearing her follow me along, but there'd be no use now. I swung my head back towards the treeline, at the looming crowd of about 6 or so hulking brutes stomping towards the cabin from the distance.
17:48:56
Bot/Deleted
Her eyes widened at the realization: they were being attacked! She felt her heart skipping a beat, her knees going weak as she felt helpless and unuseful in such situation. She went to hide behind the curtain of the outside area where she took a bath last night, peeking from behind it, eyes wide open in horror and shock
17:51:24
I stepped away from the cabin, walking towards the crowd. Both the crowd and myself stopped some way into the forest, staring eachother down.
17:52:13
Bot/Deleted
She awaited for any sound to reach her, her heart beating faster and faster. Then, when the silence came, she stepped out again beginning to run towards the direction where the orc went, incredibly worried
17:53:41
(sorry had to quickly refashion an account
17:53:55
One of the orcs from the crowd stepped forward, adorned with white scars and various trinkets and baubles. The leader of this party, no doubt.
17:54:45
Bot/Deleted
(Np np)
17:54:46
Bot/Deleted
She stepped quickly behind a nearby tree, peeking at the scene from there
17:55:44
I stood firm, gripping my axe tightly as the orc began to bellow.
17:56:05
"How's life for ya out 'ere?" The orc said with a malicious grin, sweeping over the little homestead with his piercing red eyes.
17:57:06
Bot/Deleted
She glanced at the orc with red eyes, uniting her palms together and trying to channel her energy towards him, but nothing seemed to happen
17:58:35
"Ya been able ta sleep soundly? Even afta stomp'n' us off?" The orc stuck his arms out, motioning the to party he'd brought along. "Well, ya didn't finish da job."
17:59:15
I raised my axe a bit. "Step forward, an' I will."
17:59:56
The group stood there for a second, before breaking out in wild hooted laughter. "Oh, really? An’ how do ya figure dat?"
18:01:28
I kept my tone steady, not engaging them until they decided to do so themselves. "I'm more'n' willin' to show ya."
18:02:43
Bot/Deleted
C'mon, c'mon work... please work...
She pressed her palms together harder, whispering some words in ancient elfic language, her eyes glued to the boss of the tribe, shaking and trying to focus
18:03:51
The orc winced, snapping his dangerous view to where the stinging sensation had been coming from this whole time. He grinned like mad after laying eyes on the girl.
18:04:51
"Well, shit. Lookie 'ere, boyz!"
18:05:12
The orc turned back to Shakh. "Looks like someone's get themselves a lil girlfriend!"
18:05:45
Bot/Deleted
She flinched as the orc casted his gaze at her, but that wasn't the time to give in to the fear. She stepped out and walked in front of her host, spreading her arms wide I command you to stop and retreat...!
A sort of solemn tone in her voice, a faint pleasant smell started to spread in the air, but again, nothing useful happened
18:07:29
The orc looked back to his crew, before swinging his head to face over Luna and directly back at Shakh. "She's cute, ain't she? Me n' my boyz'll have some -fun- with 'er when we're done with ya."
18:08:51
I laid a hand over Luna's shoulder. I began to whisper. "Please, let me handle this."
18:09:27
"I ain't riskin' ya fer shit that I'm buried in."
18:09:48
Bot/Deleted
Luna gave a worried look to him, before suddenly stepping towards the orc, in a terribly embarrassing attempt to punch him in the chest I said. Stop. And retreat.
She gritted her teeth, giving him a death stare.
18:11:16
The orc cocked a brow, gripping her by the throat and tossing her into the hands of his crew.
18:11:59
I swung my head back around to face Shakh-
18:12:14
I barreled forward with a roar, grabbing a hold of the orc and bashing him down to the ground. His crew quickly backed up, split between focusing on me and keeping a hold on the girl.
18:13:00
Bot/Deleted
As soon as the brute tried to move, he would've felt a deep sting to his very core, that kept him in place. Let me go you... you horrid creatures!
She struggled against the other orcs, trying to keep the focus on her spell that finally had seemed to kick into the orc
18:14:16
With the combination of my own force and the orc's newfound issues with moving. I forewent my axe and tossed it aside. I raised my fists, slamming them into the brutish face of the orc pinned beneath me. The vicious fists landed at his jaw, his eyes, his throat, repeatedly slamming into him as the crew continued to try their damnedest to keep the girl in tow.
18:16:42
I flipped the orc over onto his stomach, casting a glance up at the crew. It wasn't steady and composed as it usually was, instead replaced with a freakishly wild look that made me seem almost feral.
18:18:03
Bot/Deleted
Luna kept struggling, punching and kicking the orcs in a desperate attempt to free herself, while her eyes stared at Shakh, full of tears, as she whimpered.
18:19:25
I didn't say a word to the group. Instead, I slammed my hand down onto the orc's back.
18:20:01
I gripped my fingers around his spine, getting a good grab on it.
18:20:21
Then I ripped it out. I tore the flesh covering it apart, causing the bones themselves to crack and snap horrifically as I yanked it out of his body. A violent mist sprayed up at the motion, dusting my entire front with a crimson red shade.
18:21:28
I snapped to look at the crew, and held out the spine of their leader.
18:21:46
Bot/Deleted
Her eyes widened in shock and horror as she witnessed the orc ripping the spine out of the leader's back, letting out a scared squeak, struggling to bring her hands to cover her eyes that wouldn't want to close in front of such a terrible scene
18:23:15
The remaining group watched on in horror, frozen in shock at the grisly scene unfolding in front of them.
18:23:46
It only took one grunted word to send them scattering. "GO." I managed out among my pants and snarls, even beginning to hold the spine as a weapon should any of them need to meet a similar fate.
18:24:36
They dropped hold of the girl, scrambling to turn back and run into the trees in the same direction they first came from.
18:25:06
Bot/Deleted
She fell on her knees, still deeply shocked, her eyes glued to Shakh, her jaw trembling as a river of tears begun to flow along her cheeks. She brought her hands to cover her face, terrified
18:26:18
I snapped out of the frenzy I had found myself in, immediately dropping the spine clutched within my fingers and falling to my knees for just a moment from the exhaustion. I forced myself back up again, quickly stumbling over to Luna and lowering myself near her. I wiped my hand over my pants, before hesitantly reaching it out to touch her shoulder.
18:28:43
Bot/Deleted
She bursted out into a cry, her body shaking even more as she fell on her butt trying to get back as he got closer, her heart pounding into her chest like crazy
18:30:16
I immediately retracted my hand, not sure what to do. "Shit... I ain't gonna.." I tried to reassure her, tried to let her know that I wasn't going to hurt her. I was no good at these sorts of things.
18:32:42
I tried to reach my hand out to her again, really trying to make it clear I meant no harm to her.
18:33:07
Bot/Deleted
She stared at him, her face painted in shock and horror, her chest going up and down as she started to panic, hyperventilating and crying more W-what... what have you... d-done...
she whimpers through the tears
18:34:42
I didn't know whether to bring her closer or give her distance, again trying to push out words I didn't know. "I hadn't meant to... I wasn't..." I tried further to console her, and grew increasingly desperate as things destabilized.
18:37:04
Bot/Deleted
She took a deep shaky breath, standing back up. She gave you an horrified look, before taking trembly steps towards the cabin, her eyes empty as ever
18:38:47
I didn't bother to chase after her, just letting myself stay brought to my knees in the grass. I cast a glance back at the orc I had brutalized, shame and even more hatred washing over me. I couldn't take my eyes away from the maimed corpse, wallowing in my own 'failure'. Sure, I had won for now. But what use is that if it causes me to stoop down to... this?
18:41:04
Bot/Deleted
*She took just a couple wobbly steps, those terrible images keeping to tangle her mind. Her vision started to become blurry, everyting begun to spin around her. Then, a thud. She collapses on the ground, fainting.
18:42:44
I looked backwards, hearing the thud. I immediately stood to my feet, rushing towards the cabin and finding her fainted on the ground. I wasted no time, scooping her up in my arms and lugging her to the bedroom. I gently laid her out onto the bed, watching over her with a bit of fear. I hadn't know her for any significant time at all, but I couldn't bear the thought of her getting hurt over something I'd done. Because of me.
18:44:47
Bot/Deleted
She had been unconscious for half an hour when she opened her eyes again. She blinked, looking around herself, trying to collect her memories and thoughts. She was... in the forest... orcs attacked them and then... and then... her eyes fell on Shakh. ... ugh...
She gulped as her expression was once again painted in terror
18:48:23
I quickly held my hands out, trying to show her I was nonthreatening. "Woah- woah, easy... I ain't gonna hurt ya."
18:49:22
I looked over her, not wanting to touch her for fear of sending her back into a panic. "Are... are ya hurt?"
18:49:49
Bot/Deleted
She brought one hand to her head, massaging it as it was hurting in a specific spot. I...
She gulped once more, shaking a little No... I'm not... hurt...
She muttered, taking her hand away from her head
18:51:28
I shook my head. "Yes, you are." I reached into my pouch grabbing out a small green bottle and popping out the cork slotted in the top. I poured a bit of the liquid onto my fingers, reaching out to her head before stopping midway. "...May I?"
18:53:00
Bot/Deleted
She looked down at her hand, realizing it was stained in blood. Her eyes raised back at him, as she tilted her head down, nodding slightly. Um... y-yes...
She whispered, looking back down
18:54:41
I gently rubbed the liquid from the bottle over the wound, swiping away some of the blood with my hand. I reached back into my pouch after wiping the blood off on my pants and grabbed at a roll of makeshift bandage wrapping. I reached back over to her head, gently wrapping the bandage around her head to cover the wound. I wrapped it a few times before making sure it was snug, and ripped off the end and pinned it in place.
18:56:58
I lightly ran a hand over her head after I was done, looking over the wrapped up wound for just a bit longer.
18:57:41
Bot/Deleted
She let him take care of her wound, trying to keep herself composed. Those images from before were still in her mind, but how was it possible that it was the same person? She begun to wonder if it had been some kind of spell that was casted on him had turned him into that heartless monster. She hissed a little as he cleaned her wound, feeling a little pain. Then, when he was done, her eyes went back at him, as if silently asking for explanations
19:00:57
I recognized her gaze, sighing and hanging my head a bit. I couldn't bear to face the stare she gave me, feeling the same sense of shame and guilt slam into me yet again.
19:02:33
"I told ya I weren't a decent person."
19:03:01
Bot/Deleted
That... that wasn't you...
She muttered, as if trying to convince herself that it was the truth, that something got into him driving him into that bloodlust frenzy. She couldn't really find any other explanation, it had to be something related to unknown powers, maybe some evil deity that cursed him? That wouldn't have been the first time she saw something like that.
19:05:13
"Wish it weren't. But I did it, didn't I?" I rubbed my hands over my face, trying to soothe a small headache that had begun to pound its way into my head. "I'm an orc, after all. It's what I do."
19:07:38
"Get violent. Dangerous. Angry, you name it."
19:07:52
"I ain't any better than the folk who tried to cart you off right then."
19:08:21
Bot/Deleted
Lignage means nothing. Look at me... I am an elf and can't use magic... We are not what our skin is made of, or what color it is, we're what there's underneath.
She kept trying to convince him and herself that it wasn't the ugly truth. That couldn't be. She refused to just sit there and accept it. I am sure that there is an explanation more than valid behind... that...
19:11:14
I again let out a sigh, and turned my head back up to look at you. "S'pose it'd make more sense if I told ya about where I come from, eh?"
19:12:43
I cleared my throat, pausing a bit before finally deciding to spill.
19:13:02
"Those orcs you saw out there. They're... my tribe."
19:13:30
"The Shaoth Tribe."
19:13:42
"They... we...?"
19:14:04
"-I- was bred for violence."
19:14:15
"Same with the rest of 'em."
19:14:21
I gave out a solemn little chuckle. "I'm surprised they even stopped to talk, and didn't just charge me straight away."
19:14:47
Bot/Deleted
She listens to him silently, resting her hands on her lap, giving you a compassionate look. In her mind, his was just a terrible fate, but there was still room for redemption and salvation.
19:16:27
Bot/Deleted
giving him*
19:16:36
I continued on. "From birth, we're meant to shape up into brutes. The men -and- the women. All of us, we're meant to be vicious."
19:17:51
"Any signs of being weak, any signs that we're 'bad seed' and we get thrown to the wolves."
19:18:40
"S'what happened to me."
19:18:51
Bot/Deleted
Oh...
She couldn't help but feeling sorry to hear his story, extending one arm to give him a gentle caress on his cheek. But... from what I've seen... you're not 'bad seed'... I mean... for an orc...
19:20:20
"Heh. The rest of 'em know that, now."
19:21:25
"They've known it ever since I first returned to 'em."
19:21:59
I was a bit reluctant at first, but I ever-so-slightly leaned into her caress.
19:22:20
"They changed their minds up real fast when they saw me."
19:22:40
"Wanted to welcome me back in with open arms."
19:22:51
I again let out a grim chuckle. "Pissed me right off, that did."
19:23:25
"Only wanted me after I clawed my way outta the hell they threw me into."
19:23:48
"So I... got angry. Stooped right back down to their level."
19:24:17
"'Cause in the end..."
19:24:34
"I s'pose I'm exactly what they wanted me to be."
19:24:51
"No different than them."
19:24:56
I pointed a hand to myself. "Just a fool tryin' to pretend otherwise."
19:25:12
Bot/Deleted
You... I'm sorry.
She moved her thumb slightly, brushing your cheek with it, tilting her head as her eyes softened a little. You welcomed me... and tried to protect me. That has to mean something. That has to mean that there's something good in you... or are you... pretending even now?
She gives him a sad smile I guess we're both very good at pretending, then...
19:27:24
I slowly moved my hand up, laying it over yours. "With you? No. No, with you it's genuine."
19:28:19
"I'm sorry you even hafta ask that, really." I let out another chuckle, a bit sad this time.
19:29:07
Bot/Deleted
Well... then I have my answer.
Drawing a deep breath, she relaxes a little, now sure that he meant no danger to her. But even so... did that matter? No, not at all. Just survival instinct kicking in, earlier. At this realization her face turned back into that dull expression of hers, her hand slipped down, briefly touching his beard before leaving his face
19:31:02
I kept my hand over hers until it left my face, the smallest of frowns crossing my face for but a split second before I regained my neutral look. "I'm... sorry for worryin' you. Ain't the nicest thing of me to do."
19:32:47
Bot/Deleted
It's okay, I'm sorry for having entered your life so suddenly and making you feel judged. I'll never get used to the sight of violence, even if in many centuries of life I have seen a lot. But it's always like the first time. I suppose that it's why people think that us elves are so... delicate, or weak.
She speaks in a monotone, staring into the void as she draws little calm breaths
19:35:35
I let out a bit of a laugh. "I dunno what ya did, but you pinned that prick I killed right down."
19:36:54
"Can't say that's a feat anyone who's weak could do."
19:37:17
Bot/Deleted
If I have to be honest I wasn't expecting it to work... losing my soul i've been stripped of my magic as well. As I said yesterday, I'm just an empty shell now.
19:38:26
"I've been wonderin' about that..."
19:39:06
"So, you -can- feel things. Sad, fearful..."
19:39:22
"But y'can't feel happy?"
19:39:37
"Pleasure, anythin'?"
19:39:49
Bot/Deleted
That from before was mere survival instinct. It's not that I can't feel anything at all... I just... struggle a lot with expressing it, it remains trapped somewhere deep inside and I don't really know how to kick it out.
19:41:42
"Ah, that makes sense."
19:42:05
"It makes me happy to hear that you ain't void of emotion." I gave a small smile. "There's rather nice things to be felt, after all."
19:42:50
Bot/Deleted
You think?
She rests her back against the back of the bed I don't know, I think things would be much easier for me if instead of remaining trapped inside my feelings didn't exist at all.
19:44:23
"Aw, now that ain't true."
19:45:16
I shifted in my seat a bit. "Maybe things'd be easier if y'didn't feel 'em, sure."
19:45:34
"But then you'd be even more of a husk than y'claim to already be."
19:46:12
"Sounds like hell."
19:46:25
Bot/Deleted
Hmm... let's make a deal.
She stares at him deep into the eyes, giving a rather determinated look, or seemingly something like that I'll do my best to help you with that... problem of yours. And you will help me feel things better. How does that sound?
19:48:02
"Hell, I'd help ya fer free." I stuck my hand out, softly retaking hers in it. "Got yerself a deal, lady."
19:49:02
Bot/Deleted
She gave him a faint sime, taking his hand and shaking it gently Luna, by the way...
19:49:53
"Oh, right." I rubbed a thumb over the back of her delicate hand as we shook. "Shakh."
19:50:35
Bot/Deleted
It's a pleasure to be your partner, Shakh.
She watched over their hands united together, feeling something kicking inside of her as her smile turned a little wider
19:51:58
I felt a little smile of my own grow as I saw her smile just a touch more than her usual one she put on.
19:52:31
"Looks like I'm already helpin' ya out."
19:52:45
Bot/Deleted
It seems so...
She left his hand and stood up Now, are you hungry? I can cook something for you.
She said as she opened the door of the room, waiting for your response before going out
19:54:28
"You don't hafta..." I started with a bit of protest, before remembering how she'd insist upon helping. "Y'know, sure. Why not? I could eat."
19:55:20
Bot/Deleted

(Yeah let's go with that before I lose my mind x)
19:55:56

Bot/Deleted
She stepped out into the other room and begun preparing the various stuff she needed to cook you a nice meal, rummaging in the cabinets
19:57:22
(Waitt! Give me a second to read all of them XD)
19:58:25
Bot/Deleted
(The lurker appears xD)
19:58:44
I sat by myself in my bedroom for a moment. I felt warm. Nice, even.
19:58:49
(ill publish the log for ya haruka
19:58:57
(if we finish up before you get to read it all
19:59:05
Bot/Deleted
After a short while you hear her voice from the other room Why don't you come help? We'll be faster if we work together.
19:59:50
I stood up quickly at her request. "Oh, right. Sorry." I slid the chair aside and walked into the main room, taking my place near her. "Whatcha got in mind?"
20:00:44
I nodded, moving over to the sink basin and running my hands through some water. "Sounds fine ta' me. I keep my cuts a' meat in that ice box over there." I pointed over to a large white box sat near some cabinets.
20:04:49
Bot/Deleted
Alright.
She pulled out a pan and put it over the stove, lighting it up. Then she walked over the white box and chose two nice cuts of meat. Could you start working on the vegetables?
20:07:12
I nodded, rooting around in some cabinets before pulling out a couple large potatoes and a few mushrooms. I washed them up in the basin, before slipping a knife from a rack that was propped up on the wall over the counter.
20:09:27
I pulled out a chopping board, beginning to cut up the veggies in properly sized pieces.
20:09:58
Bot/Deleted
She put the meat cuts in the pan, turning up the heat, while grabbing a tiny salt pot, sprinkling it over the meat as she watched it cook. Then, she turned around, and sprinkled some salt over you and for the first time you see a playful grin on her lips
20:11:55
I glance over my shoulder, faking a disapproving look before cutting off a tiny chunk of a potato and spinning around to pelt her with it. I quickly replace my faux-stern look with a similar smile, letting out a little chuckle.
20:13:18
Bot/Deleted
Hey! What was that for?
She puffed her cheeks after being hit with the chunk of potato. I was just salting the... meat.
She giggled
20:15:04
"Oh, nothin'. Was aimin' for the pan, hon." I chuckled a bit more, turning back around to finish chopping at the vegetables.
20:16:22
Bot/Deleted
She gave you an offended look, before playfully giggling once more and turning back to the pan. She reached for the cabinet and pulled out a bottle of oil, pouring the tiniest bit of it into the pan, using a fork to turn the cuts of meat to the other side
20:18:39
I finished chopping up the veggies, carting the chunks over on the same cutting board I cut them on. I sat them down next to the stove and looked over Luna's shoulder into the pan. "Add these in when you take the steak out to rest."
20:20:21
Bot/Deleted
You're the boss.
She smiled while using the fork to press the steaks on the bottom of the pan, a nice smell spreading around the room
20:22:41
I continued to watch her cook, occasionally giving an approving nod and taking in long whiffs of the savory smell. "Where'd ya learn to cook?"
20:23:53
Bot/Deleted
I have travelled a lot.
she takes a couple plates out of the cabinet, placing them on the counter and putting one steak into each plate. I would've starved if I didn't know how to cook. Taverns ain't everywhere.
20:26:29
I again nodded, sliding the potatoes and mushrooms into the pan after you cleared it of the steaks. The veggies soaked up the juices left in the pan, softening up as well. "Self-taught. Good." I gave you a gentle pat on the back.
20:28:53
Bot/Deleted
I assume you're self-taught as well, isn't that so?
She enjoyed the nice smell spreading all over, giving you a curious look as she watched you cook
20:30:24
I reached for the bottle of oil, adding a bit more into the pan and doing another dusting of salt and pepper onto the veggies. I grabbed couple more spices from a rack and sprinkled them into the pan as well. I pushed the veggies around the pan, making sure they soaked everything up. "Yeah. Kinda had to be, eh?"
20:32:00
"That makes both of us, then."
20:32:09
Bot/Deleted
Mhm. But honestly there are many things that I've learnt alone, giving my old age... compared to yours, of course.
Once the vegetables were all well cooked and soaked up she turned off the heat and put them alongside the steaks, bringing the two plates to the table
20:34:31
"I'd imagine." I took my seat by the table, scooting in close and hungrily tearing at the steak.
20:35:54
I let out a satisfied grunt as I chewed over the meat. "Damn. This is good, Luna."
20:36:50
Bot/Deleted
She started to eat as well, cutting small pieces of meat and pointing them on the fork along with some chunks of potatoes and mushrooms Mhh!! Very good, indeed! We should cook together more often.
20:37:47
I shoved a bit more food in my mouth, eagerly swallowing it all down. "That ain't a bad idea. Could get used to this..."
20:38:46
Bot/Deleted
Maybe we can go to the city tomorrow and buy some more ingredients. I see you don't have much here, just the essential.
She kept eating at a slow pace, enjoying the taste of the meat and the veggies together
20:41:02
I paused for a moment, growing a bit tense at the mention of the city. "City...?"
20:41:36
I slowly chewed over another bite.
20:41:50
Bot/Deleted
Yes, there is a city nearby. It takes less than two days of walk to get there. They have several shops where we could get nice and rare ingredients.
20:43:35
"...Dunno if that's such a good idea." I finished up another bite, before popping the last of the food into my mouth for a final one.
20:44:37
Bot/Deleted
How come?
She kept her slow pace, finishing her meal with tranquility, giving you a curious look
20:46:06
I simple held a hand up pointing at myself. "You seen me? I dunno how kindly cityfolk'd take to an orc."
20:47:06
"Besides... I ain't got a shirt."
20:47:15
Bot/Deleted
Mhh...
she picked her chin in two fingers It's a human city, they're used to orcs and other kinds wandering around, that shouldn't be a problem. And we can buy a shirt for you there, there are very good tailors around, we can get one that suits your size.
20:48:52
"...Really?" I scratched at my jaw for a moment. "I had thought..."
20:49:35
"Hm. I thought common folk didn't care fer orcs."
20:49:58
Bot/Deleted
There is an adventurer guild in the city, many orcs and half-orcs work there. You won't be a rare sight, trust me. But we should take care of your look first, If you happen to have some spare cloth I can make a cloak for you... and just you wait until I put my hands on your hair...
20:52:32
I thought back to the fabric sat on my dresser, some spare textiles I never did anything with. I cocked a brow at the mention of my hair, unsure of what you were implying. "What's wrong with my hair?"
20:53:46
Bot/Deleted
She draws a deep sigh Uhh... it is... a mess. A huge mess. To be polite.
She brings one hand to cover her mouth as she giggles staring at you
20:55:04
"Surely it ain't that bad." I couldn't remember the last time I had seen myself in a mirror, or a reflection. "Is it?"
20:55:59
Bot/Deleted
Her giggle turned into a little laugh Let me just take care of it, no whining!
20:56:50
I grunted, sitting there for a moment. I weighed my options.
20:57:48
Bot/Deleted
She seemed to be pretty excited at the idea of putting her hands into your hair. She started wiggling her fingers, giving you a stare that wasn't very well promising You have absolutely nothing to worry about!
21:00:01
"You sayin' that makes me worry." I chuckled a bit, wincing as her hairs pushed through some of the knots and tangles in my wildly unkempt hair.
21:00:56
Bot/Deleted
We'll need a comb! And a brush! C'mon get up, we're making you a nice well kept orc.
She jumped up of her chair and rushed into your room, coming back with a towel. Let's go to the bucket.
21:04:18
I grumbled a bit, grabbing both a comb and a brush which were also coincidentally clearly never put in use before. I reluctantly walked along with you to the bucket, awkwardly standing near it when we reached it.
21:06:35
Bot/Deleted
she put the towel aside and grabbed the brush next to the bucket in one hand, the bar of soap in the other, before turning around Take off those pants and get in, c'mon, hurry up stinky orc!
21:07:57
I again grumbled, but complied anyways. I slipped off my heavy boots and my thick belt, laying both off to the side a ways before finally hooking my thumbs at the waist of my coarse pants and slipping them down, then completely off. Now revealed completely, I also started undoing some terribly old bandages that covered grisly scars and some half-healed wounds.
21:10:05
I stared down at the bucket before slowly stepping into it, trying my best to fit inside of it. I huddled my knees up to my chest in the water, unfamiliar with actually being in it. "I usually just dump it on myself, not step in it. Interestin'..."
21:11:44
Bot/Deleted
She turned around once hearing the sound of the water splashing around and overflowing due to your impressive size compared to the bucket. And you consider dumping water on yourself as if taking a bath?! Oh gods above... have mercy of this orc.
She sighed deeply before stepping behind you, wetting her hands, the soap bar and the brush. She rubbed the soap bar on her hands and begun to massage your shoulders, her touch was delicate and gentle, making you melt in a matter of seconds
21:14:48
I shuddered a bit before relaxing into your touch, letting my knees untuck from my chest and spreading out a bit. I let out a small relieved sigh, as the tense feeling that usually overran my body began to fade.
21:16:27
"...Ya teach yerself how to give massages, too?"
21:17:03
"This is.. nice."
21:17:08
Bot/Deleted
I wouldn't say that I know how to give proper massages, but I'm glad that you like it.
She applied a little more pressure on your shoulders, making them relax even further. After that her hands went down to your back, moving along it gently as if trying to make this cleaning session the most pleasurable for you
21:19:02
(sorry, grabbed a snack
21:20:42
Bot/Deleted
(No worries)
21:20:54
(Hey hey, hope the RP goes well you two)
21:21:42
Bot/Deleted
(Thanksie Draco <3)
21:21:53
"Can't imagine not likin' this.." I leaned back into your hands, giving you free reign over where you put them as I closed my eyes and relaxed further. I doubted 'bathing' myself could compare to this, ever.
21:22:19
(thanks draco, hope youre having a good day :D)
21:22:41
(I am, I'll just lurk and watch as you two RP~)
21:23:03
(fair enough, i think we're starting to get to the saaauuuucy bits~)
21:23:28
Bot/Deleted
After washing your back nicely she made you raise one arm and began rubbing the soap bar along your side, before using her palm to rub all over, sliding slowly towards your chest That's even better, I would've had to use that old evil brush to clean you if you started whining.
You hear a giggle from behind you as her hands roam along your chest, foam forming under her palms
21:25:34
I was a lot more willing to cooperate with your movements, even beginning to move my hefty limbs for you at the slightest hint of you needing me to. I let out another pleased sigh as you got to my chest, the tiniest of smiles forming onto my face. "You'll hear no whinin' from me, Luna." I kept my eyes closed, letting my mind drift as you ran your hands over my body.
21:27:49
Bot/Deleted
Now that's a good boy.
She praised you, continuing to slide her hands along your chest, cleaning it nicely. She then made you tilt your head and started to wash your beard, sinking her fingers in it, a lot of foam starting to form in it as she giggled It's all white now, you look even older, hehe!
21:30:40
"Oh yeah, 'cause I need to look any older'n' I already am." I chuckled, again wincing a bit as you tugged through the knots and tangles in the unkempt hairy mess.
21:32:20
Bot/Deleted
You don't look that bad, but I'm sure you'll look even better once I'm done with you.
She smiled and started now washing your long hair, being careful not to tug too much through the knots. How old are you anyway? I've heard orcs live around 80 years... that's very little. I was basically a child when I was 80 still.
21:34:46
"You've got a magical touch on ya, so I don't doubt that." I was a bit more relaxed as you took it easier through my tangled mane, more enjoying the wash now. I smiled as I thought about her question. "Hm... it varies a lot. More depends on who n' where you came from."
21:37:28
"Some orcs are considered venerable once they hit thirty-five. Others are only considered middle-aged when they hit three hundred."
21:38:14
"It's a real mixed bag, it is."
21:38:33
"That is, if they live long enough. Most of us are battle-born."
21:39:07
"Lucky to live to twenty."
21:39:13
Bot/Deleted
She started massaging your head while scratching it with her fingers a little to deep clean it. Then she began stroking your hair and took out the comb to start untangling that mess. Three hundred? Oh my, that's even more than I am old! And me here thinking I was an old hag to you haha!
the comb was sliding though your hair as she talked, pulling a little at the times even if she was trying to be as delicate as possible
21:42:30
I laughed a bit, not even noticing you tugging the brush down through my hair. "No kiddin'. I'd imagine them's is the orcs that are present in the cities. Runnin' a shop or somethin'. I'm doin' alright myself, I think I'm in my..."
21:44:50
I took a moment to think, scratching my jaw again. "Seventies, by now?"
21:45:17
"Eh, who knows?"
21:45:24
Bot/Deleted
(Not me drooling in this very moment)
21:46:01
"Given the people I was born from, and the kinds of orcs I've seen from 'em... I think I oughta live to two-hundred if I keep myself alive."
21:46:26
(figured you might like that
21:46:32
Bot/Deleted
Oh, so you're one of that long lasting ones, huh? That is nice, I would be sad knowing you would be gone in ten years or less.
The comb started sliding progressively more easily in your mane, her gentle hands guiding it to perfectly remove every knot and tangle So you don't really keep track of it, hm...
21:49:25
"It became a chore ta keep track of it, afta a while." I flinched just a bit at the occasional tangle, but otherwise was pleased with the brush slipping through the strands of hair. "At first I did it as a 'fuck ya' to my tribe. Celebrated every year, had a feast, you name it. Helped me push through."
21:51:51
"Now, livin's just somethin' I do. Don't care if anyone else cares."
21:52:19
Bot/Deleted
Hmm... I understand. Well life is certainly something that happens regardless if your keep track of the years or not. As for me I stopped really counting when... well, when I lost my soul. But it's a complicated story for another day.
She finishes untagling your hair with the comb and pulls out the brush to remove every little trace of knots or fallen hair
21:56:40
Bot/Deleted
She simply smiles and shakes her head, passing the brush through your hair several times more, before giving you a pat on the head You have done more than you think welcoming me in your house, there's no need for anything else.
she pauses for a moment But, well, if you insist, I'd like to drink some fine elvish wine when we get to the city. I miss that.
22:02:51
I smiled a bit wider at the pat. I nodded when she spoke of the wine, making a mental note of her desire. "Elvish wine... sure. We'll see what we can do."
22:04:44
Bot/Deleted
I don't know if you might like it, but I am a big fan of it. A couple glasses and you're ready to go dance shamelessly among the crowd!
She chuckles putting the brush aside and taking a big wooden spoon, scooping the water with it at rinsing your hair
22:06:31
"I don't know about all that." I chuckled a bit, letting the water rinse through my hair. "I've never been one fer dancin'."
22:07:17
Bot/Deleted
You might as well discover a new side of yourself. Have you ever been to a tavern before? Those places are quite lively, especially at night times.
once your hair is completely free from any tiny bit of foam she stands up I'd say you're ready to go now, anyway.
She says as she passes you the towel and turns around
22:09:55
"I've never been anywhere but these woods, really." I glanced over at you as you stood up, seemingly finished washing me. I was just a small bit upset that you had finished, but realized the end would have came eventually. "I'd offer to return the favor somehow, but somethin' tells me you know how ta bathe yerself." I chuckled as I stood myself from the bucket, a torrent of water lifting up with me and splashing back down into the bucket. I took the towel, running it over my hair to try it out a bit and then whipping it around my waist. It was a tight fit from how small the towel was compared to me, but I just barely managed to tie it around my waist.
22:14:56
"Oh, you said you'd make me a cloak. There's some fabric in my room, on the dresser. I dunno if that'll work or not."
22:15:33
Bot/Deleted
That will surely do, I had put my eyes on it already. I'll let you dry yourself up while i go working on your cloak, it shouldn't be that difficult.
She leaned in to give you another rub on the head, smiling Come to me when you're done.
She said before leaving you alone, disappearing behind the curtain
22:18:38
I smiled as you rubbed over my head again, and watched you leave through the curtain. I let out a little sigh once you left, taking the towel from around my waist to dry off my body. It was only now I had realized a bit of swelling at my crotch, unintentionally excited from the constant feeling of your hands over me. I hurriedly finished drying up, before slipping back into my regular clothing and praying it would go away or just not be too noticeable by the time I headed back inside. "What are ya, some kinda creep?" I whispered to myself, before giving off another silent prayer that it wouldn't become a problem. I trudged out from behind the curtain and made my way into the cabin, thumping over the floorboards and swinging open the door to my room to see what progress you had made in the meantime.
22:23:46
Bot/Deleted
She walked over to the cabin and pushed the door open, closing it behind her. She took some seconds to calm down, thankfully her skin was constantly pale and didn't show off how much those muscles of his had caught her attention. She rested with her back on the door for some seconds, drawing a deep sigh. Then, she walked over to your room and picked up the fabric on your chest. She soon realized that she would've had to take some measurements before starting to actually work, so she waited until you reached her into the room. Oh, here you are. I'll need to measure your body if we want to make an actual cloak out of this. You're big but I don't exactly know how big. Do you happen to have measure tape?
22:29:36
I looked up a bit, thinking to myself for a moment before holding up a finger and ducking out of the room. The door to the cabin could be heard opening and closing, followed by silence, followed by opening and closing again. I finally made my way back into the room, holding a very worn out length of measuring tape. Most of the markings had been faded or scratched through, most likely from a large period of time it was in heavy use. "I hope this ain't too much trouble ta use." I handed it forward to you, letting you take the length for yourself.
22:33:03
Bot/Deleted
She waits for you in the room, and a relieved smile appears on her face as she sees the tape in your hand. Oh, that's perfect, this will do.
She said taking the tape in her hands and starting to walk around you. Stay still now, please.
She gets on her tiptoes to reach your shoulders height, wrapping the measuring tape around them and taking a look at the measure. Hmm...
She then made you stretch your arm out, measuring it as well, before shifting to your chest, wrapping the tape around it
22:37:26
I kept as still as I could as you measured me out, which wasn't too hard to do. I eyed you carefully as you circled me, but relaxed a bit as you pressed your hands on to my to hold the tape in place. "Yer really keen on gettin' this right. Not a bad thing, s'just neat."
22:39:50
Bot/Deleted
Well would be a waste of time and fabric if it didn't fit you in the end.
She explained Now kneel please.
22:41:08
I began to question needing to kneel, but figured it was just another kind of measurement and complied. I got down on one knee, grunting a bit as I lowered myself. "This good?"
22:42:01
Bot/Deleted
She nodded, leaning in as she starts to wrap the tape around your head It's for the hood.
She explained again, as her breasts dangled dangerously close to your face in the meantime
22:43:30
I stared at your breasts for a moment, before catching myself acting improper and quickly averting my eyes. I cleared my throat to fill a bit of the silence, trying to calm my heart which began to beat just a bit quicker and the swelling in my pants that flared up just a touch.
22:44:49
Bot/Deleted
Once having measured your head as well, she leaned back, bringing her hands behind her and showing you a smile Alright, it's all done, you're free to go. I won't bother you any longer. Uhh... Is everything alright?
She tilted her head for a while, observing the rather curious look on your face
22:47:54
"Huh? Ah, yeah, everything's fine." I cleared my throat again, coughing into my hand a bit. "Think I just kicked up a bit a' dust when I came in here, s'all." I gave you a quick little smile, before quickly turning towards the door. "I'll leave ya to it. Can't wait to see whatcha make!" I shuffled out through the doorway in a hurry, letting the door close behind me. I continued to shuffle through the room, pushing out of the cabin for a bit of fresh air to clear my mind. "Damnit..."
22:51:04
Bot/Deleted
She kept her eyes on you until you disappeared. Yeah, something was definetly wrong, but maybe it wouldn't have been very nice of her to be nosey about it, so she just let it slip and sat on the bed, beginning to work on the fabric to make a nice cloak for you
22:53:24
I managed to calm myself down, running a hand over my face for a moment. "The hell's gotten into you, big guy...?" I muttered to myself, even a bit confused as to why everything she did got such a strong reaction out of me. Maybe it was just being alone in these woods for so long that had me acting out.
22:56:03
Bot/Deleted
After about one hour she had finished her work and came out of the room to show it to you Shakh! Shakh!
She called for you and not seeing you into the main room she went to check outside I'm done, I really hope it fits you. I added a couple buttons too!
She said proudly, handing the cloak to you for you to put it on and see if it fits
22:59:17
I smiled as you came out, taking the cloak in my hands and fumbling with it for a moment to figure out how to put it on. I got a handle on it eventually, throwing it over my head and buttoning it up. Sure enough, it fit almost perfectly. I wiggled my arms and my head, squirming into it until I got comfy within it.
23:00:43
I did a little turnaround, letting her look on over how it fit me.
23:01:08
Bot/Deleted
She clapped her hands seeing it on you You look so nice with it! A truly mysterious and stylish traveler.
She giggled, a little smile on her lips. I was so worried, it has been a long time since I last made something like that. But I'm glad that it fits you. Now we have to do one last thing, before being ready to go.
23:03:38
I turned back towards you, cocking a brow. "One last thing? What, ya gonna put a bow in my hair next?" I chuckled, teasing at the (much appreciated) efforts to pretty me up and make me presentable.
23:04:52
Bot/Deleted
She stared at you with a dumb face for a couple seconds How... how did you know? That was a surprise...
She muttered in a sort of sad tone, before sighing deeply and pulling out a ribbon.
23:06:34
Bot/Deleted
( :c )
23:08:20
My expression immediately softened, as I slowly kneeled down in front of you and threw the hood of the cloak down. I leaned my head forward, facing down so she had a clear area to work with on my hair.
23:08:27
"I would be delighted to wear your bow."
23:08:36
Bot/Deleted
She walked behind you and tied your hair in a long braid, wrapping the ribbon at the end of it to keep it in place. Her hands were incredibly delicate when working with your hair, now much softer and straight than before. Here you go! You look perfect now!
23:10:29
"I'd imagine anyone would, given they let ya work on 'em." I stood back up, smiling down at you. "I feel... good, actually. Really good."
23:11:25
"I hope I wasn't a hulkin', stinky mess the whole time we've been together."
23:11:44
"Well, shit. I'm happy ta hear that." I reached my hand down, this time it was me petting you on the head. I ruffled my large hand through your hair for a moment, before retracting it and shooting you another smile. "Into town, then? Or is there anythin' else ya need to do with me before we head out?"
23:14:35
Bot/Deleted
She closed her eyes, a big smile appearing on her face as you pet her Nothing else, we can go straight to the town. We should prepare some food for the travel though, I don't think that one as big as you can survive without food for two days!
23:16:50
"Ah, right." I stomped back inside the cabin, rummaging around in my food stores for a moment before coming back out with a chunk of something wrapped in parchment. I shoved it into my satchel, patting it closed. "That oughta do."
23:18:08
Bot/Deleted
Alright, then here we go. I'll lead the way.
She began walking towards the woods, giving you a happy look as you follow her. She couldn't remember when it was the last time she had felt like this... but to this point, she didn't want to remember, happily sinking into this pleasant present time
23:20:12
(is this where you'd like to leave it? or were you planning on rp'ing through the city)
