Eggs, bacon, and gnolls

"Alright, you two, time to wake up!" You feel the bed shake as your eyes flutter open. "C'mon, I got breakfast!"

Yawning, you slowly sit up, arching your back as you do. Hints of sunlight shine through the dirty windows, casting its rays on your beautiful form. Rubbing the sleep from your eyes, you turn to see Thror placing two plates on the end table. As he looks up at you, though, his eyes widen and he turns away, retreating to his own bed. Confused, you look down. To your horror you discover that with your back arched your tits are pushed up against the fabric, completely exposing them. Blushing a deep red you jump out of bed, straightening up. Still embarrassed, you walk around the bed to your meal. Dukash is seemingly still fast asleep, showing no signs of awareness. Picking up the plate, you see it contains an egg and two strips of bacon.

"Thanks so much," you softly tell Thror, sitting down on the floor with your breakfast. You are still a little intimidated by him, though, subconsciously subverting your eyes when he looks over. "And, uhhh, sorry about... that." You hate even referring to accidentally flashing him but decide its better to address it than not.

"No reason to thank me," he flatly replies, grabbing his battleaxe off his bed. "If you're going to be traveling with us we need you well-fed." Walking over to your bed, he gives it a swift kick, making you jump. "C'mon Dukash, we're wasting time!" The younger brother doesn't budge, still lost in sleep.

"Heavy sleeper?" You ask, taking a bite of bacon.

"Like you wouldn't believe," he replies, giving you a slight smile. It's gone as soon as it came, though, replaced with his usual serious demeanor. "Can you try and wake him up, please? I need to settle with the bartender."

"But... what about your breakfast?"

"That's Dukash's," he gruffly responds, sliding the battleaxe into a sheath on his back. "I ate while you guys were sleeping." Walking over to the door, he swings it open. "Can you do me a favor and wake my brother? I got us a quest!" Without waiting for a response he took off down the hall, the door closing behind him.

Finishing your first piece of bacon, you stand up and look over the prone Dukash. His eyes are screwed shut, his mouth curled into a soft smile. Grabbing hold of him, you give him a soft shake.

"Dukash, wake up!" You shout, though not too loud (it is early after all). He doesn't stir so you shake him again, harder this time. "C'mon, Thror is waiting for us!" Another shake. "Dukash! Dukash!"

"Mmmmmm just like that Rosa," the half-orc mumbles, making you take a step back.

"What are you talking about?" You ask harshly. Dukash tenses up at your words, his eyes shooting open.

"Oh, uhhhh, good morning Rosa," he laughs nervously, sitting up.

"Why did you say my name?" You ask, half teasing. You are pretty sure you know the answer. For some reason, you don't feel embarrassed. If anything you are proud, having had such an impact on him. Though, to be fair, he had seen you in all your naked glory. It would almost be weird if he wasn't dreaming about you!

"Ohh, uhhh, that was... y'know, funny story..." You giggle as you watch him squirm, frantically looking around the room for an escape. "Ooooh look, breakfast!" Grabbing the plate, he brings it to his lap. You decide to stop torturing the poor half-orc, sitting back down to continue your meal.

"Where's my brother?" Dukash asks between mouthfuls of bacon. "And where's his plate?"

"Downstairs talking to the bartender," you reply, finishing the second piece of bacon. "He said he ate before we woke up."

"Oh..." The younger brother becomes more solemn, swallowing his food. "He always says stuff like that when he skips meals. Guess we didn't have enough money."

You look down at your remaining breakfast, feeling very guilty. If you'd known Thror had not eaten you would have gladly given him yours. You felt bad for coming into their lives and taking his breakfast. "Well, on the bright side, he said he found a quest! That should bring in some gold!"

Dukash's eyes light up at the sound of an adventure. "Oh, that's great news! It's been too long since we've had a quest. As you can tell, our coffers have kinda been drying up." Grabbing the egg, he eats it in one gulp. "MmmmmmMmmmm! Yeah, I really hope it's a good one! Our last quest was looking for this innkeeper's daughter. Turns out she ran away and joined a whorehouse!" Dukash licks his plate clean before setting it down. "And the bastard didn't even pay us! Like c'mon, why are you mad, your little girl is an entrepreneur!" The two of you giggle at his joke. You are just finishing your breakfast when Thror returns, parchment in hand.

"C'mon guys, let's go! This quest is time sensitive!"

"Oooooh, sounds exciting!" Dukash exclaims, pulling on his shirt. You watch as his scars disappear under the colorful garment, reigniting your curiosity. Around his waist he equips a rusty Rapier, presumably his weapon of choice. "What's the job?"

"Gnolls have been harassing travelers on the road," Thror replies, unfurling the scroll. On it is a poorly drawn sketch of a gnoll. "Guards found out where they camped last night but don't wanna go after 'em. We gotta get them before they move again. It's five gold for each gnoll head."

"Ayyy, Rosa, this is your chance to shine!" The younger brother claps you on the shoulder, giving you a confidence boost. "Let's show grumpy old Thror what you got!"

Once the three of you are prepared, Thror leads you through the streets and out the gates. You still get a few unwanted catcalls but you are not as scared of them now. Not only are you clothed (albeit barely) you now have TWO strong half-orcs protecting you. Better yet, you've finally found a party to call your own. Overflowing with confidence, you have a skip in your step as you follow the brothers to the supposed gnoll encampment!
