I'm really sorry about the delay, lots of rl stuff happening at the moment. Here's some more to tide you over:
"What are you playing at?" The night elf's furious voice hissed as soon as her mouth was free of the gag. "A Blood Elf?" It was impossible to mistake the loathing that rippled through the Sentinel's musical tones "I knew you had a thing for the ladies but really Kalvor, I'm sure you can do better than that." The woman's pale eyes locked on his and he returned the stare with no sense of shame.
"You've got it wrong Elissa." His voice was soft but firm. "She," Kalvor nodded to the closed bathroom door, "saved my life. I owe her,"
Elissa took a breath and glanced towards the bathroom before returning her gaze back to him. "Of course and the fact that she's stunningly attractive has passed completely beyond your notice," Her voice was threatening to rise again and Kalvor shushed her, moving close to the bundled body. "Why did you not hand her over to us? She's a member of the Horde,"
"Tell me something I don't know," He quipped, a bite entering his tones. "I know she's a member of the Horde, but I gave her my word that I would keep her safe."
Elissa tried to move forward, yet the tight wrapping of the blankets prevented it. "And would she do the same?"
"She would,"
"How could you be so blind? If it were the other way round she'd have you in chains." Kalvor did not answer and she stared at him, horrified comprehension running across her features. "Oh for the love of Elune, you care about her." Kalvor started, his eyes rushing to her face in shocked denial. "I thought it was just sex, I could deal with that eventually, but you actually care."
"It's not like that," Kalvor blustered, running a distracted hand through his hair. "Not that she's not attractive but as you say, she is the enemy." His voice was almost babbling now and he tripped over his words like a clumsy child attempting to find a reasonable excuse for what seemed like lunacy.
"So she rejected you? And you're still trying to help her?"
"No!" Kalvor snapped, almost offended by the answer. "We got stuck on a ledge and we needed to work together." Elissa was silent as she comprehended his words. Encouraged, Kalvor stepped forward and continued. "When the tidal wave struck the Thousand Needles, she pulled me to safety." He sat back and contemplated the ceiling. "She was ahead of me and reached the ledge first. She should have let me die but she reached her hand down and pulled me up. I thought she was crazy, I could have killed her there."
"Then why didn't you?" Elissa's voice was softer but no less demanding.
"Because she'd just saved my life."
"Honourable but idiotic. And now she's here, probably gathering information to take back to her masters. Don't be fooled Kalvor, it's gratitude and a pretty face, nothing more." Elissa managed to inch her face forward toward Kalvor. "If you do your duty and hand her over, I'll make sure things go easy on you."
"And why would I do that?" All emotion had leached from Kalvor's voice and he stared down at the wrapped woman. "She has given me no reason to distrust her. Granted I won't spill any military secrets, but I won't turn my back on my promise."
"Then I can't promise to help you." Elissa retorted, once again straining against her bonds. She drew a quick breath and screamed. "GUARDS!" Too slow to prevent the words from echoing out, Kalvor delivered a precise strike to the back of her neck and she slumped to the ground unconscious. As he drew back from the slumped form, he could hear the sounds of mobilisation from outside.
"Lea," He called back into the room as the door to the bathroom swung open. "We have to get you out of here,"
Leanadas stared out across the room and the unconscious woman in one quick movement. From outside, a guard began shouting and it was clear that their bungalow was the target. In an instant, Leanadas came to a decision, she stared at Kalvor and a bitter gleam of regret entered her gaze. "You've done enough for me already Kalvor. I can't ask you to help any more,"
"Lea?" He stared at her, concern in his gaze.
"I'm sorry to do this," She raised her hands and magic spilled from her, slamming into his form and sending him to the ground. Through dazed vision he watched her rush to his side. A spike of ice appeared in her hands and she reached down, he could see a glimmer of tears in her eyes as she leant forward. "I can't let you do this for me." She muttered as she gently brushed her lips against his. Noise erupted outside the bungalow and the door rattled, yet the strong wood held. "If I escape, I'll meet you on the road to Darkshore." And then she slammed the heavy shard of ice into his temple, knocking him out. "Now they won't suspect you." He slumped to the ground in a heap as the sound of a heavy body slamming into the door rang through the room. Heading back into the bathroom, she concentrated and focused fire on the rear wall of the building. After the fire spell left her hands, she cast again, the concentrated fire burning through the wood with ease. As a fourth blow landed on the front door, she wrapped herself in a cocoon of magic, protecting her body from the ravages of fire. A third spell slammed into the inferno and tore a hole in the rear of the building. With one last look at Kalvor, she plunged through the flames, feeling the heat buffet the magic that surrounded her as she rushed for freedom.
