When she next woke, Lama was hovering about her head. Deciding it to be a bad dream, she closed her eyes again.
"I will not touch her again." The voice was female, and clearly pissed off.
"Lama..."
"I care not what you have to say. Your whore is healed, and I will not lay my hands on her filthy body again. You would do well to be rid of her, or Grommash will be rid of you both."
She stormed off, as Grogek stood helpless in the doorway.
"Please tell me you did not give her my drawing."
Grogek hesitated. "I... might have."
"Damn you, those are mine." She sat up, but felt woozy.
"She came back, on the condition I turn it over." He knelt down, and gently brushed her neck with his fingers. "You've been out for many days. Lama says you were pretty destroyed."
"Grand." Elunara looked around the room. "What is all of this?" She motioned to the flowers and random objects, and well as the piles of papers.
"Gifts from the men." He backed away. "It seems you've turned the entire fortress against grommash. He is not pleased."
"Shit. I did it again." She sighed and leaned back. "This won't do."
"What?"
"Forget it." Elunara bit her nails, a habit she had long forgotten.
"I must return to my duties. Grommash is furious, and time away from my duties only angers him more. Please," he emphasized the word. "stay in here." He frowned at her before stepping out and closing the door.
She looked around at all the "gifts".
A soft knock on the door caught her attention. "It's safe, Ricky."
The door opened and the goblin scooted in, holding a tray of food and drink. "Yeah, ok." He placed these in her lap.
"This won't do." She sighed. "This is not at all according to plan." She tapped on her head. "Where did it all go so wrong?"
"I don't know what's up, so I can't answer you."
"I was asking myself." She sighed again. "I guess I lay low for now."
It was several more days before she saw anyone other than Ricky. During that time, she had to content herself with her previous drawings. When the first orc showed up, it was Lorros who snuck into her room.
He shifted uncomfortably. "We are not allowed here."
"I can imagine why not."
"Are you healed?"
"As well as I can be."
"Grommash was wrong."
"He is a fool, but that is no reason to defy him."
Lorros frowned.
She sighed. "Listen to me, and listen well. I am not important." Lorros opened his mouth, but she shook her head. "I understand that you all like me, but defying Grommash will only get me killed. If you want to save me, then continue to be loyal to him."
"But..."
"Promise me."
Lorros nodded. "I will tell the others."
"Thank you."
Lorros shuffled his feet. "Can I be... drawn again?"
Elunara grinned. "I thought you'd never ask."
Over the next several days, the orcs would sneak in to her room, for their "drawings". She didn't see Grogek at all, even when the other orcs helped her to wander around the compound. She continued to stay well out of site of Grommash, and recorded the gossip she was given.
She lay in bed, sketching, when there was a soft knock on the door.
"Enter."
Grogek stepped inside and closed the door. She raised an eyebrow at his shirt and pants.
"Ah..." He looked around. "I wish to be drawn."
"Do you now?"
"I believe I owe you."
