*Urggkk*
"Are…are you ok?"
*Urggkk"
Hunched over Olivia threw up the last of the fruit she had previously eaten.
"Yh-yeah. I'm ok. Just not used to seeing a dead body and all the blood."
"How is an orc not used to seeing a dead body. They kill people all the time." The girl replied with a confused look on her face.
A few moments later and Olivia was able to right herself again, the last of her previous meal, now on the floor below her.
'I guess this is something I will have to get used to in this world.' She thought to herself as she accidentally spots the body out of the corner of her eye. Thankfully, no retching followed.
With the small vomiting incident out of the way, silence reigns, but this is quickly snuffed out by the girl.
"It's still strange to me seeing an orc speak Seeing any monster speak really. Actually, are you an orc? I-If you don't mind me asking? It's just that, you look like one but don't at the same time."
"I think I'm a half-orc half-goblin." She said wiping her mouth with her hand, as she gave her reply.
This answer practically caused smoke to flow out of the girl's ears as the gears turned trying to comprehend this.
"So, your parents were a goblin and an orc. How does that work? I've never heard or seen a monster that looks like you before or heard of goblins mating with orcs."
Olivia wasn't sure what she should say. If she talked about how she was a human in another world, would the girl just think she was some crazy monster? Thinking about this, she came to the conclusion that less would be more in this situation.
"I am not sure. I practically woke up a few hours ago in this forest. I have no memory of how I got there."
Olivia then went on to tell the girl what she had been through since then, namely the fight with the deer and the wolves. She left out the river incident though.
As she spoke, Olivia noticed the girl's eyes drift down her body, inquisitive as to what she was. This led to her eyes bulging once she saw Olivia's genitals out on display.
"Like what you see."
"W-what. No, It's just. Yo-you, you're a man. I mean a male. I thought with the way your v-voice is, you were a girl." She said blushing. While the girl wasn't attracted to the look of the half-orc that Olivia was, as far as she realised, it was still very embarrassing having been caught looking at her penis.
"Oh, I am a girl. I just have some additional… equipment."
The girl was listening, but the sight of this female half-orc penis, which was larger than the few human and male ones she had seen, accidentally, of course, kept coming to the forefront of her mind. It also didn't help that it was completely out on display, making it hard to keep her eyes off of it.
In order to distract herself, and hopefully push the penis out of her mind, she tried to move the conversation along.
"I-I think I understand. Aside from your… thing… why are you so different from other goblins and orcs? All they do is attack people and kidnap women." Her eyes drifted down as she brought up her 'thing', but quickly rose to Olivia's face again.
'I assumed that was the case here. It's just like most of the fiction on Earth. I've never had to think about it much, but I bet it's some urge or instinct built into their race that makes them do so. Like how animals have the need to hunt for food, orcs and goblins have the need to breed. With anything.' She thought to herself, trying to figure out how to answer the question. 'I really hope I don't have the same urge. That would make things very difficult.
Olivia knew she was right on that. No good would come from having some constant need to attack, kidnap and then breed with other women, this was obvious. Thankfully, as she stood here now, in front of this girl, who she would easily call beautiful, she felt no need to do this. Given her sexuality and the attractiveness of this girl, she did have thoughts about her, but nothing she would consider being an orc-like snatch, grab and breed thought.
Whether this would remain the case in the future was anyone's guess
"Well, I'm just different, I guess. I'm pretty sure I'm smarter than all other orcs and goblins, plus I have just always been helpful by nature. As far as I can tell, I don't have the urge, to just attack you."
The girl pondered on that for a while, until eventually, she moved closer to Olivia. Not to stand right next to her, but it was a step in the right direction. Literally.
"…"
"…"
Both girls just alternated between looking at each other and looking around the area, not really sure what to do now. This silence though couldn't go on any longer, so Olivia decided to break it.
"So, I was going to say that you would probably want to get back to whatever town you came from, but I just remembered that man said you had run away. Do you want to go back, or are you planning to go somewhere else?
The girl looked down, a little sad once she remembered how she got here. "I did run away. It was a foolish thing for me to do. Look where it got me, almost raped by this horrible man. I'm just going to go back and face what is to come."
Olivia was going to ask the reason for running away, but from the girl's expression, she realised this may not be the best time to bring it up. She could tell the girl really didn't want to go into it.
Given this, she decided that moving away from the subject was probably for the best.
"I don't expect they allow orcs or goblins to enter the town, do they. A shame, as I could do with some clothes."
The girl's expression quickly changed from sadness to embarrassment, as Olivia's words brought back the image of her 'package' to the forefront of her mind.
Olivia having seen this and the few other times she was embarrassed at Olivia's nudity and package, Olivia realised she had quite an innocent girl in front of her. While she acted tough when she and the man were tied up, and had a bit of a haughty personality, given that she was obviously some sort of a noble girl, deep down she was still an innocent person, likely only having had a few or maybe even never had romantic relations with anyone.
Trying to shake it out of her mind to focus, the girl then came up with an idea.
"While you can't go into a town, I could go for you." The girl said quite suddenly.
Olivia looked at the girl, unsure of what she was trying to say with this.
"I-I mean, as a thank you for saving me, I could get you some stuff from the town to help you. Food, water and gear. Plus, being a noble I should never be in another person's debt." The last sentence was spoken as if she was reciting a list.
Olivia could see that the girl was sincere and was more than happy with the plan. "That sounds like a good idea. I guess we should get going then."
The girl looked relieved once Olivia agreed with her, probably thankful that her saviour agreed with her, and that she would have someone with her on her journey back to town. For the company or for protection, Olivia did not know, but it was probably both.
The girl suddenly gasped. "I just realised; we don't even know each other's names. I'm Ameril." She said as she performed a quick curtsey.
"Olivia."
She didn't want to do a curtsy, it just didn't feel right, so she followed her response with a slight bow.
…
The two girls, the elf and the half-orc, half-goblin, ransacked the camp and sifted through the man's pockets. Being dead and all, he had no need for the stuff. Some may see it as being wrong to rob the dead, but after all, he had done, neither of the girls had any qualms with it. The only thing on him was his armour and a small pouch of coins, both of which they kept.
After a quick clean of the armour, Olivia tried it on. As she looked at it, she knew she would prefer something different, but beggars can't be choosers, and it fits surprisingly well. Mostly.
It would seem that it wasn't made with Olivia's assets in mind, which meant it strained against her body in two notable areas. I'm sure you can imagine which. She spent some time loosening both areas and thinning out the material so everything would fit relatively comfortably until she was able to get some clothes that actually fit.
While she was going this, Ameril had taken it upon herself to make a quick meal for them both, using some of the rations the man had in his tent. The meal was lacking, being that it was only some sort of jerky and soup, but it was better than nothing.
Throughout all of this, while Ameril had warmed up to Olivia, there was still a lingering fear in the back of her mind. It was probably the same fear that everyone had when they were face to face with the monster they had been warned of so many times over. This caused her to involuntarily keep a cool, short distance between herself and Olivia at all times,
While hurtful, Olivia understood why she did it. It would take some more time before they could stand together easily and the unease Ameril felt would dissipate. Still, it wasn't like she had any pressing concerns, so she had plenty of time to get her comfortable with what she was now.
Olivia was quickly pulled out of her thoughts, as by the time they had finished and decided that they should leave, they realised that the sun had started to set.
