They replayed over and over in her mind. They had sent a hot bolt of arousal straight down her spine. There had been no decision to make, she had complied almost thoughtlessly to her opponent's request, tongue plunging into the half orc’s slick labial folds. So quickly, so instinctively, she surprised herself. After, as she lay there gasping, her muscles weren't all that was burning.<br/><br/><em>“She realized how askew her clothing was and tried to correct it somewhat as Vania handed her a cup of water. "She's quite impressive," Vania commented.  "I don't know if you're up for more training after that.  But I was told that we can have a servant massage our muscles in the steam room.  That might be a good way for us to cool down after all of that yes?  Maybe you can explain to me what all that orcish was about, because I have the feeling I missed something... um... important there.  What do you say?"</em><br/><br/>Pipa drained the water and handed the cup back to Vania. When she spoke, her voice cracked, “I-ack ahem-uh I can't rightly tell you about the orcish.”<br/><br/>She rose,  a little unsteady, to her feet, smoothing the skirt of her dress, fingertips lingering at the apex of her thighs as she recalled Ursak’s fingers teasing her slit while she struggled for air. Her face went blank as her mind wandered.<br/><br/>“Pipa?” Vania stood up on her tiptoes, looking closely at her head. “Were you concussed? Should I get a healer?”<br/><br/>“No, no I’m alright.” She placed a reassuring hand on the elf’s shoulder. “But, I have to go see Senna. You get that massage and I'll see you at dinner.”<br/><br/>Vania watched her walk away with a pout and a shrug before she set her own course for the steam room.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://imgur.com/XEcYYN8.jpg)</div><br/>Once in the library, Senna brought her a volume on Orcish linguistics and disappeared into the stacks, uncannily quiet as she slithered over the warm floor.<br/><br/>She settled herself down cross legged on the mystically heated sandstone, alone in the reference section with the thick book in her lap. After about a half an hour, Pipa found as much as she was likely to.<br/><br/><em>siukavas - pronounced  soo-KAH-vas  -  Pipa's initial thought that this meant 'little sister' is not far off from the most common interpretation of the orcish word.  In many orcish clans women are not expected to fight the way males are, though it is usually the case where they do fight.  The word siukavas is most often found in reference to a younger female sibling who has still not reached the age or strength to fight along side her clan.  However a lesser used interpretation would be that of an orc who fights in place of a younger, weaker, or pregnant female relation in order to protect her, either so that she may escape or may avoid danger.  Pipa finds that there are even further definitions, as it seems the word may vary based on situation, but none seem to fit as well.  The only other definition that holds any potential application is the reference to an orc fighting in front of his mate in order to impress her.  But this last application of the word seems rather dated and obscure.<br/><br/>iuuk - pronounced  EYE-ohk  -  This one seems to be rather straightforwards.  iuuk means quite simply "leader."  However the word varies from other words that mean leader as in the leader of a tribe, warband, or clan.  It is a more general term, one that might be used to refer to the leader of a line of people, a small party, or even the leader of a drum circle.  It denotes an amount of respect, but not true power.  Calling someone a leader in this sense is a matter of respect, signifying that they are superior in some way, but not necessarily a permanent status.  There are also some references to it being the 'leader' in a sexual nature, the dominant in a partnering or sexual engagement.  Based on the sexual nature of the submission that Pipa was forced into at the time, she can't help but feel this might be the intended usage.  Still, calling Ursak her "iuuk" does not convey any true submission or surrender.  It is more an honor, an acknowledgement that Ursak defeated her, that in that moment at the least, Pipa was submissive to her.<br/><br/>kavrall - pronounced  kah-vuh-RAHL  -  While the word iuuk did not necessarily convey a submissive tone, and was a point of honor, kavrall absolutely does.  The most literal translation of the word into the common tongue would be 'thrall.'  In fact every translation of the word simply does translate to thrall, with no variation.  Where the word becomes interesting however is in the various forms of context that Pipa finds.  It seems that many orcish tribes have practiced a form of counting coup when they battle against other orcish tribes.  Taking an orc of an opposing tribe alive bestows much greater honor then killing one.  The orc who is defeated is taken as kavrall and returns to the victor's clan as a thrall.  This is different than a slave, as the kavrall is expected to be treated with respect as long as the kavrall is likewise respectful of their status as a thrall.  They are expected to show deference and respect to the orc that defeated them, following their commands, and being subservient.  But if they are treated unfairly or with an overburden of harshness  (using orcish society as a scale means this would in fact have to be a great amount of harshness) then the kavrall may decide that their debt of honor has been paid, and may leave.  The kavrall decides when their service to their master or mistress is at an end, and at this point Pipa's research begins to scatter.  Some tribes believe that service of a kavrall should last no less than the cycle of one moon, other tribes a full year, and others state no time limit with as little time as it takes for the clan to return to their home and as long as the kavrall's life.  One thing that is clear however is that the kavrall may request a challenge from his master, and if succeeded, leave with honor in tact.   The final point on this word is that it seems the act of taking Kavrall is often used between clans for interbreeding, especially in the last hundred years as males have become more and more rare, females would use this practice to trade fertile males around between the various tribes.  It is quite clear that a kavrall is expected to sexually service his master or mistress in this case. </em><br/><br/>Pipa had to admit that enthralled was not an inaccurate term for the position Ursak had put her in. She found herself reaching under her skirt and absentmindedly stroking her puffy,  swollen labia, staring into space, thinking about her match again, replaying it in her mind. Her fingers dipped further, and she began stroking the moist nub of her clit as she closed her eyes and remembered.<br/><br/>Edging closer, she let out a wanton moan, recalling the iron grip of those long, green thighs around her face. Just as her body began to tremble with her impending orgasm, she felt something warm wrap over her mouth and around her shoulders, pinning her arms in place.<br/><br/>Her eyes opened immediately and met the stare of the mildly annoyed librarian. Senna had wrapped her in her tail and was giving her a rather disapproving look as she held one finger to her lips.<br/><br/>Pipa couldn't help it. The warm scales againt her lips were too much like Ursak’s warm leather loin cloth, and she was already so close. Her body shuddered in the naga’s embrace as she came, fingers  working mechanically against her swollen clit.<br/><br/>The lamian librarian released her and shook her head, scooping up the book Pipa had held.  “Pleassse keep such activitiesss away from the booksss. I don't want them musssssed,” she chided. “And I prefer a minimum of noissse in the library, contessstant.”<br/><br/>Pipa was speechless as she glided away, feeling fairly embarrassed and wondering what had gotten into her. She found her temple escorts waiting just beyond the reference section. Wishing to be as alone as she could be with her thoughts, she made her way back to the dorm to bathe and rest before dinner.
