Warm campfire, hot and fragrant barbecue.

Kael'thas thought that these things would be enough to offset the cold of the rainy day, but the next morning, Teresa developed a high fever.

The human girl's forehead was frighteningly hot, and she lay on the hay with her lips white, looking very weak.

The torment of sickness, something that rarely appears in a professional anymore, was now unfolding before Kael'thas.

"We'll stay here a little longer."

He suggested with a slight guilt.

After leaving Thrall to accompany Teresa, Kael'thas and Karina go out to pick herbs.

"Have you learned about this? Da vinci? ”

Karina asked Kael'thas with a strange expression.

Leonardo da Vinci was the new name that Kael'thas chose to hide his identity, and forgive the child who offended the greats - he was always too lazy to come up with a new name.

"I've learned a little bit before."

Kael'thas could only reply, he knew a little about herbs, but it was only the most ordinary kind.

Professionals are not sick - this is not entirely true, the High Elves have been afflicted by all kinds of sickness and calamity when they wandered, because they had lost their eternal life and the nourishment of the arcane.

Therefore, the professional is only better than the average person, but there will still be problems when there are special circumstances, and it is necessary to master a little knowledge of herbal medicine.

Karina surprised Kael'thas in this regard.

The huntress was far more familiar with herbs than he was, which made Kael'thas wisely leave important matters to her.

The two of them gathered the herbs they needed and returned to the cave, where they began to take out tools and make soup.

A cold is no better than a traumatic injury and cannot be solved by dressing.

In the morning and at noon, their food was leftover roasts from last night.

By the end of the afternoon, Teresa had finally gotten better—at least she could speak fluently.

"Let's stay one more day, and then move forward when you're well."

Thrall comforted Teresa like this.

But Teresa disagreed:

"We can't delay any longer, let's leave early."

She smiled palely:

"I'm not like you who need to walk on my own, so I'm going to be fine."

She and Thrall both knew that the destination was Lordamire's Lodge, and Teresa knew better than anyone how Thrall was eager to see her people, so she didn't want to delay Sal's trip because of her health.

Although this human girl is weak, she also has her own persistence.

Thrall couldn't convince Teresa and agreed to go on.

However, the well-fed leopard ran in the mountains and forests with Teresa on her back, making the weak Teresa almost miss falling off several times, which made people look a little nervous.

"No, it can't be like this."

Half an hour later, Sal couldn't help but stop walking to the leopard, and then said to Teresa:

"It's too dangerous, I'll carry you away."

He didn't wait for Teresa to resist, and just hunched his back and crouched down.

Teresa hesitated for a long time, but realized that if she continued like this, she would cause trouble for the others, and she still honestly lay on Thrall's grief.

"Please."

Her body lay softly on Thrall's back, and the voice sounded directly in his ears.

"Leave it to me!"

The man's pride surged, and Thrall stood up with Teresa on his back, feeling that he could do anything.

Karina looked at her with a strange look.

She had always wondered what the relationship between these two people of different races was.

It's said to be friendship, but it seems to be a little closer.

said it was love, but neither of them seemed to have this concept, and the behavior of getting along made people unable to see the twisting and tenderness.

"Are you lovers?"

Karina asked, and even Kael'thas was stunned for a moment.

"This, this"

Theresa's veiled face was indistinct, but her tone grew tense.

How to answer? 】

Teresa's favorite person since she was a child was Sal, yes, but she didn't quite understand whether this feeling was love or not, and Karina's words made her not know how to answer.

Sal, on the other hand, is more straightforward.

"What is a lover?"

He asked very purely, without a hint of variegation in his blue eyes.

How could Sal, who has lived in prison since he was a child, understand what lovers and love are?

"Lovers are two people who love each other."

Karina was a little disappointed by the reaction of the two men, but she replied anyway:

"If you explain it more bluntly, a lover is the one who will accompany each other for a lifetime."

In this world, lovers and marriages are not separated too much, and ordinary lovers will get married, so Karina's explanation cannot be said to be wrong.

The answer seemed very simple to Saar.

"I want to be with Teresa all the time, so this is a lover?"

He spoke as easily as if he were telling a trivial matter, leaving the others dumbfounded.

"Sa, Saar, do you know what you said?"

Theresa's eyes were complicated, and then she said softly:

"You don't understand anything and we are different races, it is impossible to be together"

Teresa, who was clear about Thrall's thoughts, naturally understood that this orc did not understand the true meaning of lovers.

She didn't hate Sal at all, she was disfigured since she was a child, and she saw things differently from others.

Teresa doesn't change her attitude because of her appearance, she likes someone who is as bright and righteous as Sal on the inside.

"Why can't we be together?"

Sal shook his head:

"When I was in prison, no one liked me except you, and I always thought that humans couldn't stand with orcs."

"However, I believe more in what I see now"

Isn't it enough to prove something that the orcs have three different races in their team?

"If we can be together, then other orcs and other races can be together"

The idea is very simple, but you can see that his eyes are full of certainty.

Kael'thas loves this kind of look, and it is because of Thrall's eyes that he will eventually become the savior that everyone recognizes.

"However, lovers are not one-sided."

Karina smiled softly to mislead Sal.

"Huh?"

Sal immediately frowned.

"Teresa"

His voice was a little low and hesitant:

"Don't you want to be with me? I didn't say that."

This made Teresa immediately nervous.

"I—I didn't mean that"

She felt her face heat up.

Before the two guys could confirm their relationship, they accidentally determined something.

Now it's okay, Kael'thas glanced at Karina with some confusion.
