Without even realizing it, Rue's paw finds Fjord's hand and gives a gentle, reassuring squeeze.
It does not make sense to Rue. When they are called a beast, there is some truth to it. An owlbear is a beast, a vicious animal that would tear through anyone in it's way. But an orc is just another humanoid race among the mortals, are they not? Why would these children call him such names? Simply because he looks differently than they do?
No one would bat an eye at the sight of him back in Faerie, not among the water spirits and bird-people and satyrs.]
I hope you know they are wrong. You are anything but. And forgive a near stranger's opinion, but you look quite like an adventurer to me.
