Over the next few days, Elunara and Grogek wandered around the town, learning the lay out and allowing him to be seen, unchained.
She left him sitting in the barracks, frowning down at a map. A quick walk, and she made her way to the healing building. Sticking her head in, she spotted the head healer, a dwarf.
"Hey Ina. I'm getting low on my tonic."
The squat little dwarf looked up at the tall night elf. "I figured you'd be by eventually. The way you go through the stuff." She turned and began digging through some bottles. "You're in luck. The Draenei have a potent flower on this world that's much stronger and works for the month." She poured liquid into a cup and handed it to Elunara.
"Sweet.!" Elunara chugged it back.
"In your case, I made it a little stronger than usual. Can't have any little accidents running around."
Elunara smirked. "Can't say I disagree." She handed over the cup.
Walking around, she smiled inwardly at the looks she garnered. It was always her specialty to stir up trouble, and felt the best when she was center of attention. She knocked on the General's door.
"Enter."
"Howdy do."
"Things seem to be going well." He folded his hands in front of his face. "The townsfolk are not happy with me. They expect him to start slaughtering the masses at any minute."
Elunara waved a hand. "Perception."
"This better pay off, and soon."
"You're entirely too tense." She leaned forward and grinned. "You know I'm always willing to help with that."
He sighed. "Don't even try it. Keep on task."
She shook her head and straightened up. "You're grumpier since they made you General."
"Does he have any indication...?" The General let the comment hang in the air.
Quiet, she stared out the window. "He suspects..." She shook her head. "He's been trying to tell me something, but I'm having difficulty understanding him." She tapped her fingers on her leg.
"Don't tell me you've gone soft on the orc."
She shook her head and continued to stare at the clouds in the sky through the window. Abruptly she turned to the General. "I have him well in hand. I will pick him apart, just like any other. Meanwhile, I'll keep him useful."
The General frowned. "Do so."
She left then and swung into the barracks to pick up her drawing desk.
Grogek grinned up at her, but continued to examine the map. "Going drawing?"
"You know me, I can't stay still."
He abandoned his map and moved over to her. His lips brushed her hair. "This place must drive you mad."
She laughed. Opening the door, she pointed to a far hill. "I'm going to go up there. I have a pretty good view. If you need me, I'll be there."
