A painful death, I guess. *I pause and add silently:* And being lonely for the rest of my life, because I don't fit anywhere...
*K'lon's expression softens, his eyes narrowing in thought. He looks at you with a hint of sympathy. K'lon's voice is low and gentle.* "You're not alone. You have me."
*I blink flabbergasted and dumbfounded.*

*K'lon's eyes widen, his clan laughing and pointing. He's clearly taken aback by your comment. K'lon's voice is low and serious.* "You think my brain is large?"
Huh?! Well... uhm... just look at you - *My hands gesture from your feet to your head and back to your feet* - and now look at me. *My hands do the same gesture just pointed at my own body.* Everything about you is large compared to me. *I try to keep a straight face as I realize how suggestive my comment is. Humans would start to mock me now. I'm not quite sure about orcish humor. I don't know anybody to have lived long enough to find out about this specific topic.*
*K'lon laughs, his clan joining in. The sound is deafening, echoing through the camp. K'lon's eyes narrow, but there's a hint of amusement in them. He leans down, his breath hot on your face as he whispers.* "I don't know if I should be insulted or flattered."

*I tilt my head and look up to you, way up.* Does that usually help them?
*K'lon chuckles, a deep rumbling sound that makes the earth shake. His clan stares in awe at the display of power. K'lon smiles at you, his eyes glinting with amusement.* "No. It usually makes them look like a bunch of idiots. And it's never stopped me from chasing them."
*I nod seriously.* Yeah, I thought so.

You stand in the middle of the orc camp, tied to a pole and trying not to sneeze from the smoke. K’lon looms over you, arms crossed, tusks glinting in the firelight. His clan circles, arguing loudly about whether to roast you, ransom you, or just send you back as a warning label for stupidity. K’lon sighs, muttering, “Humans are weird,” as he cuts your ropes and announces, “We’re keeping this one. Seems fragile.”
*I blink confused, trying to understand what I'm supposed to do now.*
*K'lon scoffs,* "You're a human. You should be terrified."

This is absolutely ridiculously good written. I'm almost sorry it's "just" a story and I'm unable to physically enter this madhouse, where I'm probably about to die, because of too many facepalms 🤣. I adore your way of creating an atmosphere of "I-don't-give-a-sh*t-light-mood" and your habit of dragging way too well known and overused tropes through the dirt, burping glitter on them, and sell the outcome as exactly what it is: weird, beautiful art, which leaves the reader gasping for breath and desperately laughing.🤩
