As usual, all warcraft and world of warcraft settings, characters, etc are the property of Blizzard. Anari, Drak and Raj'orh are mine, however, as well as a few others that you don't recognize. Also, any and all reviews are welcomed and encouraged, this is my first attempt at writing and I would appreciate any input any of you might have. Thanks. Also, I apologize for any OOC-ness of Garrosh in the last chapter.

Anari woke early. She was annoyed to see Drak outside her door as she exited her

room. This was her time, the one time of day she could be alone, herself.

"You don't have to guard my door night and day. I'm perfectly capable of defending myself.2" Anari threw an annoyed glance at her guard.

Drak sighed. "I was assigned to guard you, Ambassador."

Anari rolled her eyes in annoyance. "They must have a low opinion of my race here. Are you to follow me everywhere then?"

"As I said, Ambassador, I am assigned to guard you during your stay in Orgrimmar."

"Well, I hope you're ready to have the pants bored off you." Anari smirked. This could be fun. According to her notes, the orcs respected plain speaking, unlike her own people. 'Might as well let off steam while I'm here.' She thought.

…

'This man has obviously never been shopping with an elf' Anari smirked and shook her head. She had been dragging him all around Orgrimmar, making him take her to every clothing and souvenir shop she could find. "I don't mean to be a burden on you, Warlord. I'm sure I can find my own way around…" Anari said sweetly. She had been playing her roll perfectly, annoyingly polite, yet spoiled, expecting more. She didn't know if she could take anymore of this superficial crap.

Drak smiled. The elf was putting on a show, trying to drive him off. Liked her privacy, this one. It was entertaining to see her struggle to look entertained by a parade of dresses, mounds of jewelry. She obviously had no grasp of orc women, nor his experience with raising three sisters. 'If she only knew he could read her expressions like a child's book.' He chuckled inwardly.

"I have other duties to attend too. This is Dagra. She is my second in command, and one of my best warriors. You will be safe in her hands."

She stared in disbelief as he walked off. 'How dare he dismiss me to a subordinant!' As she started after him, Dagra reached out and grabbed her shoulder.

"Don't play into his hands, little elf." As Anari whirled around, Dagra laughed out loud. " He's baiting you. You'll do better to stay here with me. He expects you to run after him, as any man would." Dagra grinned. Drak was one of her best friends, and he had never acted this way in front of a guest, much less an Ambassador. 'This'll be fun….' She grinned wolfishly.

Anari froze. 'She's right. Damn that orc…' She looked to Dagra. "I've nothing else planned for today. I would appreciate it if you would escort me back to my quarters." She sighed. 'I sound like such a bitch.' She shut her eyes, bringing a hand to her face to shield her eyes.

"So, I take it you already dragged him through all the clothing shops?" Dagra knew what it was like to run after a man. She knew better.

Anari looked up at her. "How did you know?"

Dagra grinned. "He called me in. Don't ya know ya gotta make him run after you?" It was an angle she hadn't tried yet, and why not try it out on the elf? She had seen how Drak had gone running, and she wasn't stupid…plus, if it worked, she could use it on that dense troll…

Anari stared at Dagra, sputtering. "I don't...I wasn't trying..."

Dagra sighed. ' Don't you wanna make him pay for leaving you here with a stranger? Do you wanna make him toss and turn and think about you when he goes to bed at night?" She was laying it on a bit thick, but what the hell. She wanted that troll, and this was fun besides…"Hell, elf, might as well have some fun while you're staying with us."

"Yes." The answer surprised Anari. She wanted the orc…no, Drak…to pay for handing her off to his fellow guard. This whole place felt surreal and she didn't have another meeting with Garrosh for another three days. As this Dagra said, she might as well have some fun while she was here.
