The reaction was instantaneous.
"WHAT?!" an Orc shouted, his jaw practically hitting the ground.
"Elves?!" a female Orc gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Those dainty, skinny things?!"
"No way!" another Orc yelled, shaking his head violently. "That can't be right! Warchief, are you joking?!"
The Ogres, slower to process the information, tilted their heads in confusion.
"ELVES… WIVES?" one rumbled, scratching his head.
"SKINNY PEOPLE?" another asked, his massive brow furrowed.
The female Ogres snorted, their reactions ranging from disbelief to outright disgust.
"NO WANT SKINNY WIFE!" one declared, folding her massive arms.
"OGRE NO NEED POINTY-EAR WOMAN!" another added, her nose wrinkling.
The Orcs continued to mutter among themselves, their reactions varied and chaotic.
"But how? Elves and Orcs are so… different!"
"I thought elves hated us!"
"Does that mean we have elf blood in us?!"
