Take the captain's hand

You don't know why, but when the captain offers his hand to you, your heart beats furiously, and you can't help but take his hand. He helps you to your feet, and the five of you make your way to the elf kingdom. You can't say you're not nervous, as you've been told since birth that elves hate orcs, and now being among them is quite frightening. The possibility that someone might recognize you as an orc is the scariest thought though. If that happens, you are sure to be put to ****.

"You know," the captain says, "I've been meaning to ask you, why were you out here in the first place? I mean, it's not uncommon for an elf to wander the woods, but I've never seen you before, and I pride myself with knowing the faces of everyone within the kingdom."

Nervous, you quickly come up with an excuse. "W-well, you see... I... I'm not from around here. I just wandered a little too far to pick berries."

"I see." he says. You can't tell if he believes you or not, but you hope he does. "And you're from where exactly?"

Well, you're certain he doesn't believe you now, and quickly come up with, "Far to the west. E-ever since my parents died, I've been on my own, wandering. Looking for a place to belong."

He ponders your answer, and seems to buy that. "I see. I might be able to help with that. Before that, though, we have to do something about your name."

"You want to change it?" you ask.

"We have to, it's the law. Hm... how about... Ronama?"

All elvish names have some underlying meaning about the person, so you ask, "What's it mean?"

"Black rose. Since your hair is so black, you remind me of a rose."

This makes you blush uncontrollably, "I... I love it." you whisper.

"Great. So, you're Ronama now."

You can't help but smile at hearing your new name, and feel a sense of pride about actually having one now. But there's also something else. Something you feel when you talk to the captain. It then hits you, could you be falling for the good captain? Even though you used to be man, and an orc at that, you feel a connection to the captain, and start wondering what his name is.
