She had done more training than she had ever before. Though the magical training had been exciting to Sophie, the physical training had kicked her ass to say the least. Sophie could not remember working out ever in her life and she had regretted it as much as Ling from Mulan. It had been stressful, but she had been careful not to cry in front of others. She had simply listened to orders given the best she could and tried to focus on the others, cheering them up and making them presents when she could. She had liked to give presents out to the others, but Caelan, Rosaria, Nuallán, and Aurora had gotten them most, as they had become dear friends to her. Aurora was an absolute angel. She was always so kind and tranquil; Sophie loved to make her smile and always tried to help her out when she could. There were many times that Sophie had bought her food or flowers. Nuallán and Rosaria had been extremely sweet, even when they had been training them. She had drawn portraits of them and presented her drawings to them just the other week in gratitude for their patience with her. She had gotten rather close with the three light elves, but even closer with Caelan, who had become the best friend she had always dreamed of. He always had her back and seemed to see through her when others did not. On top of that, he was always so much fun that it had been contagious. After years of sticking to herself, she had been able to start to voice her thoughts and feel comfortable coming out of her shell. Not only had Sophie started to change in personality, but her hair dye had long faded into a silvery white. However, instead of dying it again, she had left it that way. Sophie had also become very fond of Alette, her little pixie, despite her mischievous behavior. As the afternoon sun beat down on the desert, she and Alette were just a little down the dirt road from the guest house. She had declined Slick's offer to hunt as she already had important plans today. They had done so much training and she was yearning to just to do less active things for a day. [color=a187be]"Sophie. His nose is much chunkier than that."[/color] Sophie shhed the pixie fluttering by her shoulder. She had a makeshift easel where she was drawing on a large whiteboard. The umbrella Aurora had gotten her was perched on the easel, keeping the sun out of her face as she drew. She had been so thankful to receive the wonderful gift. Currently, two orc children sat before them. Their names were Brubsnaga and Eichelberbog. Though Alette always called them all kinds of things due to her inability to remember such complicated names. Sophie had no idea how old they were, but they had taken a liking to her one day when she had been playing music out loud. She supposed their parents were often out raiding and they were left home bored, so sometimes she'd entertain them. However, then the other day, the children's father noticed her drawing and politely demanded with a huge war-ax in hand that she should draw his children. [color=818ED1]"No it's not... Or..."[/color] Sophie tilted her head and scrutinized the drawing. She looked over the side of the board, [color=818ED1]"Hey Brubsnaga, tilt your head up a little for me, honey."[/color] The little orc boy looked up, showing his pointy teeth as he smiled. [color=purple]"Are yer draw'n me gud? Brubsnaga iz gud lookin."[/color] The child asked. Even for a tiny one, his voice still seemed to boom. [color=a187be]"No."[/color] [color=818ED1]"Yes."[/color] [color=lightblue]"Noth'n gud about Brubsnaga."[/color]Eichelberbog chimed in as if it was just a sad truth, shaking his head. Sophie shot Alette a glare, but continued to assure the orc, [color=818ED1]"I think Brubasnaga looks really-"[/color] Before the sentence could fully leave her lips, the orcs were suddenly gone. She moved around the side of her easel with a distressed look on her face. She searched around the area with her eyes rapidly until she caught sight of them. Sophie frowned as she watched them struggling to run up a sand hill after a desert fox. [color=818ED1]"Nooo! Come back! I'm not done!"[/color] Alette fluttered in front of her face, [color=a187be]"Let them go! [i]They smell![/i]"[/color] She looked over her shoulder, her red hair moving as she adjusted her body.[color=a187be]"They can't even get up the hill."[/color] The orc children were indeed a little big and kept sinking into the sand. [color=818ED1]"I've been working on this for two hours. Their dad is coming back tonight, Alette!"[/color]Sophie replied with an exasperated sigh. Her eyes lit up and she pulled out her phone. [color=818ED1]"I think this will bring them back."[/color] [color=a187be]"Oh yes!"[/color]Alette did a little spin. Her mood had turned around. [color=a187be]"Sophie! Put it on ! Hurry! I can do the dance you taught me!"[/color] Sophie bit her lip with a grin as she searched through her phone. She found the song she wanted and then selected it. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7_DqgVDKkM&ab_channel=MatrixSound]Rasputin by Boney M[/url] Eichelberbog paused in his tracks and jumped in the air. In one quick twist, he was facing Sophie and Alette again. He grumbled something to his brother before charging back toward them. Brubsnaga's reaction was a little more delayed but he too came running. Sophie had found it hilarious how much orc children loved music. She clapped along to the song and the orcs began nodding their head along, clapping too. Alette got to work there and then flew into view. She then began to dance, having memorized thanks to Sophie and Caelan's teachings. [color=a187be]"There lived a certain man in Baussia long ago. He was big and strong. "[/color] Alette paused to flex each of her tiny arms then pointed to her eyes as the orcs looked up at her, [color=a187be]"In his eyes a flaming glow! Most people looked at him with terror and with fear..."[/color] She waved her hands about as if she was a scary creature. Eichelberbog and Brubasnaga were attempting to follow Alette's dancing, letting out joyous deep laughs. Sophie giggled to herself as she took the opportunity to finish up her drawing.
