You woke up!

As the darkness begins to fade, you feel a bit woozy and disorientated, as if you were waking up. Then realization hit you and your memory of recent events came back in a flash. You jerked yourself up waking up faster with adrenaline coursing through your veins, only to feel a pair of strong hands stop you. You stay to struggle but the hands grip was firm as was the arms strong and steady.

"Whoah, easy there cupcake, no need to get exited, at least let me buy you a drink first before we start the fun", said the owner of the hands and arms restraining you, who you realize to be an Orc, with pointed ears and a body more feminine than you've seen from the few Female Orcs you have personally encountered, with a lighter shade of green skin and more definably pretty and youthful face. She looked at you with a rather feral smile that you can see her teeth, while not as big as any Orc you've met are certainly above average, you also notice how strangely shining white her teeth are.

"Morah please, let her get a grip on this reality first before giving her any ideas", said an all too familiar voice which puts you in relief.

"As you command Master" the Half-Orc and possibly half-Elvin before you said letting you go and moved to the far wall and leaned on it while keeping an eye on the room nonchalantly.

As you look to your left you see Rin coming to your side with Valiant right behind. Rin was looking anxious and concerned for you while Val merely looked relaxed and patient.

"Val are you alright?", Rin asked as she stood next to you, taking your hand in hers.

"I'm fine just a little dizzy", you replied, as you gave her hand a gentle squeeze. For your own comfort as much as hers.

You turned your attention back to your rescuer and dream guide. Valiant stood there and smiled his usual smile that you have yet to see fade in the slightest for as long as you've seen him, waiting patiently letting you and Rin have a moment.

I'm assuming we woke up?" you ask to verify.

"Very much so my dear, welcome to the waking world", Vali said with a dramaticly extended his arms in a wecoming flourish.

You rolled your eyes at his display in good humour. Then you realized that Rin is still holding you and her grip tightened a bit in your hand as she looked around and as you were able to confirm you, Rin and the other two are the only ones in this room at the moment. You decide to keep Rin from panicking again and finally get some answers that have laid in the back of your mind since meeting the handsome prince on the slave ship.

"Rin, this is Prince Valiant Valoran, he's in charge here and is our rescuer, Valiant this is my friend Rin" you said introducing them as you sit up and start putting hour feet on the floor.

Valiant approached slowly yet confidently, taking Rin's other hand in his, kneels before her and gives her hand a passionate yet chaste kiss. "Believe me, the pleasure of meeting you is a wonderous gift", he said with grace and charm, and s kinder smile then youve seen before reconizing hid eyes conveying more emotions looking into hers.

"Oh... uh, hi", she said shyly blushing a stiorm of red acrosd her face, taken aback by his gentlemanly greeting and genuine feeling behind his piecing blue eyes. You not sure how and why but you feel a tinge of jealousy, yet your not sure for whom.

"Well she's just adorable, your a lucky lady to end up with this ravishing vixen, not to say your not incredibly hot or anything", the orc woman interjected, in a husky voice and suggestive motions woth her eyebrows. "So are you two exclusive, or can anybody join?"

"Allow me to introduce you both to Lt. Commander Morah SnushcuValran, a decorative, reliable and well meaning officer, if incredibly blunt and forward officer", Vali stated before you either of you could respond to the Half-Orc suggestive question.

"At your service bitches. Just so you know, I can bottom just as good as I top", the Lieutenant greeted rather forwards with a naughty smile and a heated passing ate look in her eye.

As strange as this is, you find her rather comforting, considering she's not making any secret what she wants from you and you might be willing to give it to her, though included Rin is another thing entirely.

"Please do forgive if her tone is a bit offputing, we're a close-knit and open-minded crew and while this may sound normal to us, it can berather extraordinary to outsiders", Valiant explained.

Great now your even more curious about these people, and your starting to get worried you might actually like them.

"Well that scratches off one of the many questions in my long list", you say snarkily. "Any chance you can cover the rest of them?

"Well that depends", he said. "Would you like me to answer them here and now, or perhaps you would like the answers along with a quick tour from here to Ten Forward, where we can continue talking over prepared food and drink?"

You ponder the question for a moment and look back to Rin, by her look you can tell she'll follow along with whatever you decide, though you imagine your both quite parch and starving after what you've been through. Besides a tour of the ship would mean a chance to look for an escape route should you need it.
