"If you really want to win this woman's heart Jalen, it would be prudent that you start with actually listening to her."

"What do you mean?" His confusion was infuriating, but the habit of men thinking they know the minds of women has been all too common, even among elves

"I mean that before you get a potion to augment your body and ability to perform, that you ask her if that's even what she wants."

"What? No, I couldn't, that's -"

"Of course you can" you cut his protest off immediately as you stood up "It's easy. In fact, Malay is right by the door." You moved to open the door quickly and found the orc woman unusually frozen in anxiety.

"I...just wanted to make sure everything was okay"

"I know" You responded diplomatically, letting the white lie pass. "You've clearly become involved in this, so you might as well come in."

Holding the door open, she slowly walked in. The potion had run it's course, but she still looked hot and sweaty and reeked of passion. You adjusted to a new position as she unknowingly took your chair.

"Well" You began, arms crossed humorously "I think the dragon's out of the shell now, so it may as well be fully honest with one another" Your eyes darted to see which would break the silence first.

Filled with guilt, it was Malay "I had the drow here make a love potion for you. It's really embarrassing, and I'm sorry that I was going to trick you that way, but after you nearly dying, I didn't want to lose a second chance"

Jalen took a deep breath and stared between her and you for a second. "I'm not fond of the idea, but I suppose I can't complain too loudly. You hadn't done it yet, and I was looking to be deceitful in a different manner."

You gave him a gentle nudge with your foot, sitting across. Still injured, he was both surprised and annoyed by the gesture. "I was going to ask her a potion that would make me grow in...stature, comparable to Orcs, and it was brought to my attention that might not be the best way to your heart, so to speak."

Malay smiled weakly "You've already found your way Jalen. You wouldn't have done that if you were anyone else."

Jalen tried to listen, but was hard to let go of old ideas "I appreciate and understand, but wouldn't it be better if I was built more like your own kind?"

"You've listened to too many old tales from your fellow males" Malay responded as she shook her head

"Really?"

"Yep. It seems that you all are more concerned with the size of your cocks than most partners are, of any species. A halfling, like our friend Brien, if we both felt strongly for each other, and he knew what he was doing, could satisfy me just as easily as an Orc."

"Wait, what? You and him?"

Malay laughed slightly "No, we've never done that. For other reasons, he's not my type, but from what I've heard, he has a remarkable reputation."

"wow" Jalen stared off in the middle distance as he thought quietly. You dared not consider where his mind me be going right now. "So, you're saying there's nothing you would want?"

"Nothing that I wouldn't ask for from any other male, no"

"Wait, what does that mean?"

"Well" She started shifted in her seat a little, feeling a little more uneasy "you don't need to be hung to make me happy, obviously, but it would be nice if men of any type weren't done so fast. It's not a dealbreaker."

Jalen's eyes turned to you for a second "do you have answer for that, by chance?"

You pondered for a few seconds. "I know a couple of recipe's that might help you out, in different ways. In any event, I don't have the materials for any of them, so you both will have to wait, unfortunately."

"Well, I guess that means we'll just have to enjoy each other the old fashioned way" as Malay smiled, you got a sense that there was a sudden shift in the immediacy of their affection.

"I would love the opportunity, though perhaps not as old fashioned as you think"

"What do you mean?" Malay asked confused. You were equally perplexed, but remained silent, as this wasn't your concern, or so you thought.

"We invite our new friend along with" Jalen said, in a surprising rout of boldness, considering his seeming fear of inadequacy not a moment ago. "What do you think Missy?"
