I wake up in the morning and see that he is sleeping in the chair he was sitting on last night, I take the blanket off and look at my wounds they definitely need to be cleaned and a good wash would be great, I'm rather dirty my hair is a mess and I have dried blood on my legs, I notice him waking up
Zul: "good morning how is your leg feeling? I'll have to change those bandages today I don't have any more here so we will need to go to the Orc village there is a hot spring there so you'll be able to take a bath if you'd like"
I nod at him, looking at my hands in my lap as my face flushes, I don't understand it but he makes me feel like a little girl who's got a crush on a knight, I give a small smile,
Whitney: "I'm not sure if I can walk yet or not but I can try and thank you again for saving me Zul, I'm in your debt I'm not sure how
I'll ever repay you but I will."
Zuls pov
I sit there stunned for a moment I've never seen a human be nice to any of us or any other species for that matter, her smile makes my heart skip a beat part of me is attracted to her, her plump curvy body just asking for me to touch her but I internally shake my head and go back to reality she's a human I can't fully trust her and even if I did why would she ever want to be with an Big green Orc to humans I'm a monster, "it's a two day walk to the orc village if you can't walk I will carry you until you can, we will leave shortly" i get up and start to pack some food into a sack that I can put over my head and let it hang off my side.
Whitney's pov
I nod as he gets up blushing like an idiot, "I
Um don't think you'll be able to carry me for very long if at all" i look down at myself ashamed of my body and the way i look "I will manage to walk it just might not be very fast" I say as he slings the sack across his body, he looks at me with almost a look of anger on his face as he comes over leans down and scoops me into his arms as if I weight nothing he looks at me as he holds me bridal style to his chest surprised by the sudden lift my hand ends up on his chest feeling the muscles in his chest I scan my eyes up to his Callerbone then further up to his neck and then to his face, he has a stoic expression on his face a strong jaw, nearly perfect nose and his eyes are as mysterious as he is, his lips are slim the bottom being a little bigger then the top and his two bottom teeth sticking up, I realize he is staring at me while I'm staring at him my face goes bright red as I let out a little surprised squeak and look away.
Zul:"you are not heavy I'm much stronger then normal human men. Most humans are weak in many ways" he says as he starts to
Walk leaving the cave the sun is shining through the trees and all I can hear are birds chirping and other animals moving about in the forest I can see some blue sky through the trees as I look up at the sky, the warm breeze moves my dress while he's holding me my hair gets gently blown around by it as I try to keep it down out of Zuls face I missed some of it and it ends up hitting him in the face gently right over his eyes, I chuckle looking at him and move my hair out of his vision, he still has no expression on his face but his eyes are relaxed. We walk for the day and find a small spot to rest for the evening he sets me down gently and looks around for a moment
Zul:"I'm going to find some wood to start a fire, stay here and be quiet" he walks away from me as I sit there looking around I can hear little barks/yelps from somewhere they did not sound like wolves they where to high pitched and much to quick to be wolves I use the tree I'm beside to help me stand up keeping weight off of my wounded leg as I slowly and gently waddle towards the noises.
