[Oh no, she's cute. Thrall, thankfully, doesn't seem offended. He looks around for the source of the giggling and spots the girl. Surprisingly (to her, maybe)-- he smiles, a gentle and very human expression on an otherwise barbarian sort of face.]

This is the biggest size they carry, [he laments, though there's more than a trace of humor.] I have very large hands, as you may have noticed.

[There's nothing Thrall loves more than children, but he'll let her approach him first if she's so curious. He doesn't want to intimidate or scare her off.]

[ To her, it's hardly surprising, some in part that she knows this place holds no danger to her currently, extending to all those already here. The rest? Well, she's not easily startled, that's all. ]

A land full of pixies and giants and they don't think to carry greater mugs. How strange.

[ Though she would suspect this place was geared more towards humans, even if most of the Station itself is incredibly foreign to her. She folds up her map and takes it with her when she does move to approach Thrall, too curious to stay put. ]

But you're neither of those. [ She adds once she's near and getting a better look at him. ] And the only green people I've ever met were the lizard folk, but that's not what you are, either, are you?

[shamanism]

[Thrall moves his stuff to the edge of the table in case she wants to spread her map there, respectful; he's also physically trying to make himself a little smaller. His eyes never leave hers. They're bright blue, a rarity in his kind, and they temper his otherwise monstrous appearance.]

I am an orc. [He is still smiling, gentle and amused.] My people were originally brown, if it helps to know.

[tolivefortoday]

An orc? [ The word is familiar, at least. ] Really? My sisters told me about orcs once, that they were better off avoided, but you don't seem scary at all.

[ And something that never ventured into the forests back home, so she never expected to meet one. She sets the map down on the table and, since he went to the effort to make space, she will spread it out. It's nothing special, just something she's been keeping track of her own wanderings with, if the extra lines are any indication. ]

[shamanism]

I cannot say for sure what orcs your sisters met, but my people are not so different from humans. We grieve for our dead, we celebrate certain days with feasting and gifts... we cherish our little ones, and protect them.

[You don't seem scary at all.

He thinks of Tari, and his chest aches. He forges past it-- glances over the map instead.]

Are these your travels, then? You seem to be making good progress.

[tolivefortoday]

Well, I think I like the sound of your orcs much more than the ones they knew.

[ But at the mention of the map, she turns her attention to that topic, looking down at it the same as him. ]

These? Mmhm! They are! I've gotten far, but there's still so much more to see. I'm trying to get to all the different forests right now.

[shamanism]

I like my orcs better, too.

[She really has made a lot of progress. He's impressed. For someone so young, she can travel well.]

Are you looking for something?
