Tulani met them, Mrs. Finister holding Darguni. Tulani flung herself at Elunara and began to kiss her all over her face. Elunara laughed and returned the affection. She turned and plucked Darguni out of Mrs. Finister's arms. He clung to her as if he'd never see her again. Elunara sat on the ground and wept; arms tight around her baby.
All at once, people began to fall upon Elunara.
"This is the strangest thing I have ever seen." Zelinnia blinked as she stared.
Renwa laughed. "That is our Elunara. You may not understand her, but you will learn to love her."
"He was going to kill me." She shuddered. "I was supposed to be her friend, on his command, and we thought... we thought he'd let me leave the tent at night, but he demanded I stay. When she tried to give me a reason to leave..." She looked at Renwa. "He was going to kill me because he thought she was displeased. So, she jumped in front of his blade." She looked back at the crowd. "And she gave herself to him. Every night. While I hid in a corner, she made sure he never saw me. What kind of person is that?"
Renwa shrugged. "That's our Elunara." He said, as he walked to the crowd.
"Where is Gerald? I need to kiss him for figuring out my code."
"Actually," Renwa laughed. "I figured it out, and Tulani figured out how to send the paper back."
"Oh, in that case." She grabbed the front of his armor and yanked him forward. She assaulted his mouth before releasing him. After many cheers, she turned, tugged on one of Tulani's horns and repeated the process. The crowd began to whistle and jeer.
"You are the strangest bunch of people I have ever seen." Zelinnia propped her hands on her hips.
"I can kiss you too, if it'd make you happy." Elunara laughed as she winked.
She held up her hands. "No, thank you."
Elunara looked up at Grogek. "See, told you she was straight."
"Is she a Blood Elf?" Someone whispered.
"She is my friend. That's all you need to know." Elunara glared.
A man held up his hands. "If she is yours, then she is ours."
Elunara reached out and patted him on the head. "Zelinnia will stay with us until we find her other accommodations."
Renwa nodded. "That's for the best."
"Oh, Oh... I totally have to tell you this nugget of hilarity." Elunara called out. "Lorros, was trying to save me from Grogek, because he believed he was whoring me out to his men." Zelinnia continued to watch Elunara in fascination.
Everyone froze.
"Are you serious?" A man called out.
"Yes, Jerry. He told me that several times."
The entire crowd broke out into a fit of giggles.
"Imagine! Me! The helpless victim of Grogek's cruelty!" She posed dramatically.
The laughter intensified. Some of them were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up. She couldn't tell how genuine it was, but it seemed that everyone shared the same joke.
"Did you cut his balls off?" A plump woman asked.
Elunara sighed. "It is to my great regret that I did not get a chance to."
"Bummer."
"Jeez Mayby," A man frowned. "Curb the bloodlust would ya?"
"It's Elunara. I would have expected her to make earrings out of them."
"Damned if I don't like that idea." She looked up. "Hey, can we ride back real quick?"
"I got a souvenir you will like." He grinned back at her.
"Ah well. He couldn't measure up to yours anyhow."
"That's for sure." Someone coughed.
"Now!" Elunara called out. "We all know how much of an attention whore I am..." She grinned as everyone snickered. "But I am exhausted and I would like to spend time with my family." She paused a beat. "The family that shares my roof, not the rest of you."
They laughed and moved out of her way.
She reached back. "Zelinnia, follow us. We will show you where you will stay."
She was given odd looks, so she followed quickly behind. Regardless of what anyone said, she was still a Blood Elf in an Alliance town. Elunara held her baby while Grogek had an arm wrapped around her shoulders. But the curious thing here, was the Draenei woman's arm around Elunara's waist. They led the way to a barracks building. Once inside, Zelinnia looked around. Everywhere, she could see pages and pages of drawings. She moved to the wall and inspected them. Most of them were of naked men of all races.
After handing the baby to the Draenei, Elunara walked to one wall and yanked a picture down. She wadded it up, and looked down at the ball. With sigh she laid it on a desk and straightened it out.
"I need to see the jewel crafter about something first." Grogek said. He kissed Elunara on the forehead. "I won't take long."
She smiled. "No, don't worry about me. Go do whatever it is."
He stared at her for a long moment before turning and walking out. Elunara began to dig through some books and pulled one down. Opening it up, she flipped to the right place and put the picture of Lorros in her book. She took out a pencil and made a death date notation.
Tulani stood in the center of the room, just watching Elunara.
Elunara turned to Zelinnia. "This bed is yours." She pointed to one on the wall. "I know you didn't come with much, but we'll get you whatever you need."
"Is this whole building yours?"
"Yes. The big bed is mine and Grogek's. The bed right there beside ours is Tulani's. Darguni sleeps in the back room."
"Why do you have five beds?" She sat down.
"For guests." Elunara took Darguni again and cuddled him. She tugged Tulani over to sit on her bed.
"Can't they stay in town?" She considered the bed. It wasn't bad for what it was. It was not Silvermoon, but then again, nothing was and she hadn't been there in a time.
Elunara grinned and Tulani giggled. "My guests prefer their privacy."
"They also don't usually stay overnight." Tulani grinned.
Zelinnia was horribly confused. "Alright." She frowned. "I have to ask... you two seem awfully touchy feely."
Elunara played with the baby. "The easiest way to explain, is that Tulani is my wife."
"But you have a husband." She blurted.
"I have a husband and a wife."
Grogek walked in.
Zelinnia shot a look to the massive orc. "You have a husband AND a wife?"
Grogek shrugged and grinned. "Everyone has trouble understanding it at first."
"So you have two wives?" Her eyebrows rose.
"No." He shrugged. He sat on the bed and put his back to the wall. He reached over and pulled both women into his lap. "Tulani and I" He patted the Draenei's head. "Have an understanding. We both love Elunara, and she loves us both. We are not a competition, and we are not actually involved."
