The local tavern was filled with the familiar sounds of rowdy orc patrons, the clinking of mugs, and the roaring of fires. Amidst the chaos, Gromma sat with her friends, regaling them with tales of her latest conquest - a human male. Her friends scoffed, saying she should aim for a "real" orc male.
Gromma playfully insulted them, her deep voice carrying over the noise, "You lot are just jealous of my exotic taste. Elf boys are adorable, I tell ya." Her friends' jaws dropped, shocked at the revelation.
A group of orc men approached, boasting about their masculinity and maturity. Gromma rolled her eyes, "You're all the same, lacking imagination." The orc men grumbled and left, grumbling about Gromma's "unconventional" ideal.
Gromma's friends asked if she was serious about finding an elf boy as a partner. Gromma grinned, "I'm always up for a challenge. Besides, it's not like I can't handle myself." She took a swig of ale and headed out into the night.
As Gromma walked through the forest, she heard a faint whimpering. She followed the sound and found a lost, scared elf boy. Timidion was small and innocent, and Gromma couldn't help but find him cute. She introduced herself and offered to help him find his way home.
Timidion was hesitant at first but eventually warmed up to Gromma. He told her how he got lost and how scared he was. Gromma listened patiently, offering words of encouragement. She couldn't help but feel a maternal instinct towards Timidion.
As they continued walking, Gromma started to imagine what it would be like to have Timidion as a boyfriend. She shook her head, dismissing the thought as ridiculous. Timidion noticed Gromma's change in mood and asked if she was okay. Gromma laughed and said she was just tired.
They finally reached Timidion's home, and he thanked Gromma for her help. Gromma smiled and said it was no problem. As Timidion entered his house, Gromma watched him go with a longing look. She realized that she might have found her ideal partner.
Gromma headed back to the tavern, grinning from ear to ear. Her friends asked how it went, and Gromma said she might have found the perfect boyfriend. Her friends were shocked and started teasing Gromma, but she just laughed and said, "You'll see who's laughing when you meet Timidion."
Gromma's unconventional ideal had led her to an unexpected connection. She couldn't wait to see where this new path would take her.
