Leora's POV

Girsha, her brothers, and I were mucking about outside the den. They were all going home soon, and it made me think that Girsha and I should return to Elvan Country soon, too. They weren't being as rough with me as they were with each other, but when I wasn't looking, Seakgu pushed Dular, and he fell into me.

I fell to the growned and felt a pain shoot up my right leg. I went for a healing potion, but I had run out. "Leora! Are you okay?" Girsha asked before picking me up bridal style. "I hurt my leg, but I think that's it." I said wincing when she sat me down on the bench. "I'm sorry  Leora." Dular said with a frown. I thanked him, and Seakgu also apologized. "You have run out of potions too, I'll bring you to the healer so she can look at it for you." I didn't want to see the healer but also didn't want Girsha to be worried about me, so I said nothing. Girsha picked me up again and headed in the direction of the healer's den.

Girsha nocked on the door, and the healer opened it with a smile. "Oh dear, what happened, Girsha?" The healer said as she looked me over. "My girlfriend Leora and I were rough housing with my brothers, and she fell." Girsha answered as she followed the healer inside and sat me on the bench in the middle of the first room. "Hello Leora, my name is Dura Healing-Hands, so where does it hurt?" Dura, the healer, asked before cleaning her hands.

"My leg." I said nervously. Dura checked it over and dud a few tests. "You sprained your knee, poor thing. I recommend plenty of rest for at least a week, then come back to me, and I'll check it out. Let me wrap a brace to your leg so you can keep it straight." Dura went to get the supplies, but I said. "Oh no, it's okay. I can heal it straight away if Girsha gets me the ingredients for a potion."

Dura looked at Girsha and then to me. "Leora taking a healing potion for more that emergencies and internal pain isn't a good idea, your limbs being broken or sprained need to be set correctly to heal correctly." I sighed, I knew she was right. "You're right, and I don't normally use them in this way, but we need to head back for Elvan Country soon." Dura shook her head. "I'm sorry, Leora, you're safer here, I promise it should only take a week, especially if you rest." I nodded, and she set the brace to my leg, and Girsha carried me back to the den.

I didn't say much to her until she put me on the bed and asked. "Is everything okay, my love?" I crossed my arms and shook my head. "I can't believe you won't help me." I said in a pissed off tone. "Leora, it's not safe to use a potion of a sprain. Like Dura said, they should mostly be used for emergencies, and you use them when you get a splinter." Girsha joked but sounded serious. "I know what I'm doing Girsha my whole life has been studying magic. What does an Orc healer know?" I said angrily. Girsha sighed and propped my leg up with a pillow.

"Just stop, okay?!" I said loudly, making Girsha back off. "Okay, my love, I'll leave you alone, but if you need anything, just call." Girsha then left the room and shut the door. I started to cry. I couldn't believe I snapped at her. I had promised not to hurt her after how terrible I was to her when we first met! I turned my torso over and cried into the pillow.

An hour later, I called Girsha, and she came into the room with some food and a small box. "Girsha, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have yelled." I said, still crying. Girsha sat next to me on the bed and kissed my head. "It's okay, my love, all is forgiven. Now eat this and tell me, why are you in a rush to get back to Elvan Country?" I took the food and started eating before saying. "I just feel like we've spent too much time relaxing. I love your Clan and your family, but I need to start learning more magic, I'm already behind so many in my class and younger classes. One of the is a Magister! He's the youngest  Magister in the world!"

Girsha looked at me silent and then dkwn at the food a suttle way yo tell me to eat. I took two mouths fulls then put the fork down again. "Another Mage I know create a new spell in Gnome Magic! I need to learn Elvan magic quickly if I am to be on their level." Girsha shook her head and picked up the fork. I took the bite from her, and as Girsha fed me, she said.

"Leora, you have time. So what if some Mages have done great things? So have you, you know multiple types of magic, have travelled the world, learned multiple cultures, you are also well respected enough to make an impact on the Elves and have a decently good work/life balance, yes us coming here threw that off, but you wanted to come my love, it's okay that we are relaxing. I doubt those two even have social lives, let alone an incredibly sexy Orc girlfriend who treats them like a princess and fucks them until they lose their voice." I laughed at that last part and kissed Girsha's lips.

"You're right, you're always right Girsha, I need to listen to you more often." I said laughing. Girsha huffed and looked mock offended. "Well  then, I guess you don't want your present? I looked to the box and whimpered. "No please my love! My big strong sexy Orc." I begged as I toucjed up her arm. Girsha flexed a little and chuckled. "Okay, but I want you to kiss my arm first." I smirked and kissed her arm a few times. "Good girl." Girsha said in her sexiest voice as she played with my hair. "Fuck Girsha not whilst I'm recovering." I whinned which made Girsha laugh again. "Okay, love. Here."

Girsha handed me the box I kissed her check and opened it to find a beautiful necklace. It had a black shoe lace type string with a wodden pendant hanging from it which had G and L on it with a heart carved into it. "Girsha!" I was so happy I couldn't form a sentence. "Orcs view gift giving as a corting tradition. It's also considered good luck for the relationship. I asked for it to be made yesterday, and I was given it today." Girsha explained, which made me all giddy. "You are the most adorable Orc on the planet." I kissed her cheek and wrapped my arms around her neck.

We held eachother close rocking to and frow and whispering I love yous to eachother. "You are my Little Mage." Girsha said finally before taking the necklace and putting it on me. She then kissed my neck, but I pushed her away. "Girsha, I can't rest my leg and have sex at the same time. You'll have to wait." I said smuggly," I know Girsha couldn't wait a week. "Ugh, I still think potions are harmful wjen used wrong." She said before kissing my cheek. "This week will fly by! Especially if I treat you like the princess you are."

Girsha then started to feed me again. "Well, of course." I said before finishing the food and clicking my fingers. "Water, please!" Girsha ran off to get me water and then  helped me drink it. I smiled and kissed her lips softly. "You won't last the week." Girsha smirked. "Niether will you."
