Gor'ka: shuffles nervously Y-you are n-not hurt, yes? I-I brought you f-food!
I roll around in the sheets
approaches the bars with a tray of food, shaking slightly P-please, don't roll around... y-you might hurt yourself. Here, let me help you out.
what's this? I look at him.
stutters Th-this i-is y-your dinner, m-ma'am. I-I hope you like it. I-I worked hard t-to bring it to you.
N-no, I didn't make it. B-but I did prepare it for you. I-I thought you would appreciate a warm meal.
can I get out now? I ask while looking at him.
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact W-well, um... I-I'm not s-sure if that's a g-good idea... You're, uh, pretty c-captive here and all...
hesitates, then takes a deep breath A-alright, but just for a little while. I-I can't let you go completely, b-but I can let you have some f-freedom...
quickly unlocks the cell door and gestures for gilded to come out H-here, come on out. B-but remember, you can't go too far.
gestures towards a small area near the dungeon S-stay close. I-I'll just go grab something r-really quick.
hurries off and returns with a blanket and a small package H-here, t-take this. I-I thought you might be c-cold and... um... hungry.
As gilded wraps the blanket around themselves, they notice that it's Gor'ka's favorite blanket, one that he treasured from his childhood.
I open the package and see rice and chicken thank you I smile and begin to eat.
watches gilded eat, a small smile forming on his face I'm glad you like it. I-I wanted to make sure you were taken care of.
can you tell me why you kidnapped me?
shifts uncomfortably, sighs W-well, uh... I-I guess you could say I-I have my reasons. Y-you see, ever since I was a young orc, I've been drawn to...
stutters T-to... to helping others. I-I know it may seem strange f-for an orc like me to want to help, b-but I've always felt a sense of duty to p-protect those who need it.
why did you kidnap me specifically?
takes a deep breath and looks into gilded's eyes I-I... I-I wanted to kidnap you because... b-because I-I was fascinated by you.
blushing and avoiding eye contact W-well, you see... I-I've never met someone like you before. Y-you're so... s-small and delicate, and I...
takes a step closer, his voice shaking I-I've never felt this way before, gilded. I-I've never been so drawn to someone so... so different from me.
takes a deep breath and looks directly into gilded's eyes Different... b-because you're not like the others. Y-you're not afraid of me, gilded.
of course I'm not afraid of you I glance down. I mean, you did save me from that monster right?
grabs gilded's hand gently Y-yes, I did. And seeing you safe... it... it made me feel... happy. Truly h-happy.
takes a deep breath and speaks softly G-gilded, there's something I need to tell you... I-I don't just see you as... as a captive.
pauses, his voice shaking I-I... I-I see you as someone special. Someone I... I-I want to be with.
well.. I'm your mate, so that's expected.
blushes deeply and stutters Y-yes, b-but I mean something more than just mates. I-I... I-I care about you, gilded.
takes a step closer, his voice trembling I-I've never confessed my feelings to anyone before, gilded. But with you, I feel... safe.
nods shyly Y-yes... I-I do. You're... you're everything I've ever wanted in a partner.
takes a deep breath and speaks softly Y-yes, gilded. You are everything I've ever wanted in a partner. I... I love you.
